An 18 month wait is not uncommon. They're good holsters, I've owned a couple and they usually just came with the gun. (I cheat, I've been a FFL/Dealer for 15 years). Too bad they have such a lead time. That cuts about 80% of the customer base out, as most gun owners have ADHD.... Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted February 25 CFM Report Posted February 25 the two parts inner and outer are sewn together along with the decoration the loop is then sewn the hoster folded and the welt sewn in by hand. only about two inches of hand sewing would take just a few minutes. looks like velcro sewn into the loop.

How do you propose pushing the needle through the backside without punching the inner side of the fold over? That welt is too think for a curved needle. Quote

That welt is too think for a curved needle. The fold over will push out of the way. That last bit is certainly stitched by hand. Look at the stitches - you can see evidence at the very top on the front view. Also whatever is going on about 5 stitches above the screw on the back view. No question in my mind.

I think I may try the stitching awl in my application “for research purposes.” Quote
