First Holster - Please Give Your Critique.

Well, I suppose one could follow that line of thinking, . . . but the overall effect would I think be minimal.

The down side is that it also makes the overall holster longer, . . . which can be a pain, trying to fit it exactly where you want it on a belt, considering the belt loop placement. Diagonal slots take up more belt room, . . . leaving less for adjustment.

Plus, . . . I think if you look at most of the production makers, . . . they're really close to parallel, . . . if they aren't.

May God bless,

Thanks guys for the great input! I didn't even think about wet forming the belt slots - but it makes sense. I'll try that on the next one. I thought about double stitching the gun but I hand stitch everything so for my first holster I didn't want to bite off to much.

What do you guys think about stitching around the belt slots?

Please keep the constructive comments coming - I appreciate all of them.

What do you guys think about stitching around the belt slots?

Personally, I don't do it, . . . never had one come apart yet.

SOMETIMES, . . . it adds to the look, . . . but especially if you are hand sewing, . . . lots of extra work for a minimal return.

May God bless,

MDH,

Have done them in the past by hand and machine. Not as a general rule though. As Dwight says, "adds to the look" , but if glued and burnished correctly, should not separate.
