Just finished this one up for a co-worker.

is it an "inside the waistband"? looks good.

Thanks. Yes, inside.

I thought SOB holsters were turned to so the barrel ran parallel with the waist band of wearers pants?

"SOB" refers to the location the holster is worn rather than a particular style of holster.

On the holster, clean and simple. I think I would round off those corners on the top and bottom on the stitch side. Since that will be the edge against the body, you don't want it to create a sore spot.

i wore an SOB holster for awhile. they don't need to be parallel. i am right handed but wore a left handed holster in the small of my back....works out great actually.

Overall, looks like a good design. I agree with Shorts on the sharp corners, as those can be quite uncomfortable as well as snagging on the clothing. I like the fact that you have kept all of the pistol's "controls" (safeties, mag release, etc) clear of the holster; this is essential to any holster design but sadly overlooked in many examples.

Nice work.
