5 SPI vs. 6 SPI... your thoughts?

Geez, I didn't notice that this thread is from August, sorry to bring back an old one. I guess that's why I shouldn't try to do this sorta stuff at 3:00 in the morning.

Thanks for your comments, Latigo. I did not use any stitch grooving at all on this holster. The leather is relatively thin and I did not want to weaken it.

Ah, well that explains why the groove looks too small, it's not even there. It's always very difficult for me to tell whether or not there's a groove when people use those stitching chisel things that seem so popular these days, they appear to create a sort of phantom stitch groove. In any case, I wouldn't worry about the thread diameter, I think it looks great.
