Made this pair, as well as a 938, for a customer. I don't have a whole lot of experience with holsters for Sigs, but thought these were pretty. I don't do black gear nearly as often as I'd like.

Very excellent fit and finish. If I had one critique, it would be to carry the inside stitch line straight down by the belt loop. Is there a reason other than stuffing stitching in you don't repeat that on the trailing wing?

I'd say it's an aesthetic thing. The rear slot's closest stitch (other than the edge of the holster) isn't that far away at the triggerguard. With more stitching in that area, you break up a field of really pretty smooth leather. The forward slot could've been left alone, too, but I don't find it imbalanced.

I'm starting to shy away from the everything-must-be-double-stitched thing and have been leaning more and more to classic single rows of earlier holster examples. I guess this is my way of taking baby steps!

Thanks for the nice words.

I do not believe the double stitching does anything for the integrity of the holster. I have used glue only on a pocket holster that holds up fine. A single row of stitching is all that is needed. But, I said all that to say this, if you have the time for the double stitches, your holsters sure look good.

I definitely not rely on glue alone for anything, but I understand your point. Stitching does help prevent leather from stretching to a degree, but it obviously does nothing for the fit of the holster. Double rows do look nice, though!
