I just finished this and would like any input on design and whatever you think about it. The backside is leather is 6 oz. and I wish I had used

8 oz. I made a pair of wood mags and mounted them to a piece of plywood to mold the front all of which was done by hand. It's hand stitched and all the stiitch holes were punched in a motorless drill press that I set up just to use with the awl blades and be able to lock the spindle at any angle.

I airbrushed this and do like the even coloring as opposed to my use of daubers.

Thanks for looking, Ray

Very Nice! The only thing I see is perhaps adding stitching around the belt slots....if it's glued well, it may not be an issue. Depends on frequency of use.

Thanks Mike, I may add the stitching yet but I did glue it well. I've been trying to refine my work and was curious about the stitching as to whether I'm getting it to look good.

Thanks again, Ray

I would lower the height of the leather enough that you can get a good purchase on the magazine before you attempt to remove it; leaving just the base exposed makes it more difficult to draw and increases the chances of fumbling the mag under stress. You might also consider orienting both magazines the same way. Every serious shooter that I know prefers both magazines to face the same direction for the sake of consistency. I like the style you are going for - I would just tweak it a bit to improve the function, personally. Please post some follow up pics of any changes you make to the design.

Thanks, I guess I was looking more at form than function. I carry every day and of course two mags both turned the dame way I'm used to.

Thanks, Ray
