JRB Report post Posted August 2, 2010 Looking for some suggestion on how to cover snaps, rivets, etc. that would be exposed against the gun. I'm working on my 1st thumb break for an OWB (I've mostly been doing IWB for true concealment). Against the body I was going to double the leather at the snap point w/an insert to stiffen. But on the "strap" piece coming over the gun, how do you cover that snap to keep from riding against the gun? I thought about sewing in a liner but I figured that could wear through over time. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! I wouldn't worry about it wearing through. If the strap is reasonably tight, there shouldn't be that much movement, and the movement is what causes wear. If you're really concerned about it, you could sew a piece of thin plastic between the liner and the strap. I doubt it'll be necessary.
