Looks nice to me. Were you going for that effect in the dye or did it just kinda happen?

The coloring was asked for based on others I have done. It's for a FN in 357 Sig. The first time it did just kinda happen but now for the few that I make, that's what they want.

Thanks, Ray

Very good looking work Ray. The only thing I see is that I prefer to sew around the belt sockets. holes, loops (or whatever you want to call them) To me it finishes the look a little and decreases stretching in that area. Most likely it's more cosmetic than anything else, but I think it also gives the appearance of ensureing that the leather inside of said loop will not separate (which I'm sure is highly unlikely).

Exceptionally nice workmanship. It appears that your inner panel is assembled smooth-side in? I like the effect of the dye work.

Thanks Lobo, It is smooth side in. I appreciate your comments!!!! I've been focusing on the stitch lines around the gun which I think is paying off.

Thanks, Ray

'Good looking holster with a solid design. It doesn't look like there's a whole lot to critique.

I would probably cut a little more off of the sweat shield to allow the thumb to set higher to make a stronger/more comfortable draw, but that's really the only thing I can think of that I would change. I guess you could run the rear slot a little bit closer to the pistol so it will hold the grip in a little tighter to your side, but it looks like it will do a sufficient job as it is. Nice work.

I agree with BOOMSTICK, it looks good!

Your molding is nice and your pattern is well assembled and basic with good rounded corners. Looks like you measured your stitch line and muzzle end perfectly.

Thanks BoomStick, I creeping closer with the rear belt loop and I appreciate the advice on the sweat guard which I will change on the next holster. I've been focusing on my stitch lines and the modeling. I want to get my time down as well.

Thanks, I have been trying to get the stitch lines as close as I can.
