Two Birds With One Stone.

Two things come to mind.

Do folks really wear different sized belts much? I know I don't. I've gone to 1.5" and stayed there.

I don't think stretch is going to be a significant issue. Particularly with smaller guns.

And I'm sure a second attachment point would help.

Just a couple of thoughts that are worth exactly what you paid for them. lol And BTW, I forgot to say that it looks well done. I'm becoming a big fan of the contrast stitching look.

I'm one of the crowd that just doesn't see the utility of this design. I understand the purpose just not the utility. Yes, there are gun free zones but I don't know of any holster free zones and it is a lot easier sitting in the front seat of your car to just simply reholster a weapon than to try to restrap on your holster and weapon.

That said the workmanship looks pretty good. I think it would look much better if you left off the "reinforcement" piece which really serves no useful purpose. YMMV

2 fasteners through the strap does cure the rotation of them. It's a Del Fatti design element and makes total sense. Brigade's are not both through the holster, but are simply offset.

I'm also in the group that integrated straps are the way to go. While it certainly can jack up pattern cutting, it definitely adds to the design and is worth it.

The rear of your holster suffers from the original pitfalls of the Patriot by Nelson: wings perfectly straight and attachment points too far away from the pouch. Bring it in and integrate the straps and you'll see a much more stable platform.

Interesting observation. the wing design/ spacing I mimicked from an Aker holster I have, because I wasn't sure exactly where to place the loops. I have found this distance, for my belt anyway, lays a little flatter than a closer spacing. I think my belt is too thick though.

I like my holsters to have a natural curve built into them. The front panel is always larger than the rear. This way, you don't rely on extra width - you can build gear that has very tightly close-spaced loops/slots and that rides nice and tight without collapsing the pocket.

Cheers!
