First Photo Post

This is the first time I've ever posted photo's on any forum......but I'm pretty happy with this holster. A friend of mine asked me to make it for him. Him being a southpaw like myself, I extended the reinforcement up to cover the safety on the firearm. I've found that carrying a 1911 cocked and lock on the left side, it has happened that I've bumped the safety and disengaged it......not good. So, I decided to cover it. Anyway, the holster is saddle tan, sealed with satin sheen and finished with Aussie leather conditioner. I line the sweat guard on my holsters with a layer of leather because I don't like the look of the flesh side exposed to view. Just me! I use a Cobra class 4 from Steve at Leather Machine Co......what a good guy and awesome machine. The thread is bonded nylon in Brown. I added a little free style design on the reinforcement and sweat guard using a stitching groover.

Thanks for looking and any comments good, bad or ugly are appreciated! :-)

I think it looks pretty nice. Molding and stitching are great. If it was my job, I would stop the design element at the stitching. otherwise it's very nice. Rob

Thanks for the comment on the stitching. Looking at it closer......it is kinda busy! Appreciate that!

Stopping the design before the stitching. Nice work!

Very clean. I like it. I kinda like the lines going past the stictching but that is just me. But it is a very nice holster

I like the grooves myself but it could easily become too much.
