Took Shooters advise...played around with the thumb break...and had the friend who I'm making it for give me his thoughts...here's what I came up with. I moved the snap lower (I'm going to have to get some pieces of stainless steel to reinforce the thumb break on the back side) and designed the strap so I could mold it over both the left and right safety. My friend is going to have a couple other guys wear test this one to get me some additional feedback. The thumb breaks are sure a pain.

The entire holster was supposed to be the nice dark brown color the back plate is. I used a high density sponge. The holster body did not dye as nicely, so I let it dry then went over it with black. This weird almost mahogany under tone came out, which looked kind of cool. Until I wet the gun to mold it then the color developed this effect that looks like cracking. I am use Fiebing's Pro Oil Dye. I'm going to stick with black for now until I can practice getting the dye on more evenly.
