Made this over the summer just now getting the pictures up , just want to hear some feed back on how you think it turned out

The stitch line right up next to the gun is as close to perfect as I've seen. A lot of people have trouble getting it tight enough.

The stitch line around the outside seems a bit far from the edge.

The stitch line around the belt slot seems to "wander" a lot. Are you grooving the leather? It helps.

The belt slot itself is problematic. It's either not long enough, or entirely too wide. They look better with rounded ends. I use a punch to make a hole at either end, and then use a wood chisel to "connect the dots."

Edges need burnishing. All of them, including the edge of the reinforcement piece, which must be done before it's stitched.

Needs more molding.

Doesn't look like there's enough space to get a solid combat grip on the pistol while it's still in the holster.

Even if you're not going to dye the leather, you should apply a top finish to it, to help preserve it.

Hope this helps.
