Members Dwight Posted March 12, 2014 Members Report Posted March 12, 2014 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, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

Members MDH Leatherworks Posted March 12, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 12, 2014 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. Quote
Members Dwight Posted March 12, 2014 Members Report Posted March 12, 2014 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, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

Members shooter55 Posted March 12, 2014 Members Report Posted March 12, 2014 "What do you guys think about stitching around the belt slots?" 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. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 12, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted March 12, 2014 I like it Personally, I do like the belt slots stitched, but just for cosmetics. Your rig looks GOOD ! Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
