Beautiful burnishing on the outside edges.

What is your inspiration for the design?

Neat Red Cent. I'm going to build a cross draw for my friend's Sig 226 for when he's hiking. He was concerned with scratching the gun and I was just today thinking that I'll probably bring the leather up just as you have there. Is this for you or a customer? Wondering what conditions it's expected to be carried in that would call for that treatment. Hiking? Standing at a workbench, and constantly banging the shooter into stuff?

What tha!!! The site refused my post and told me I couldn't do that a few times. I tried one more time, took a potty break, and came back to this. Sheezz!

Well anyway, the design just came to me. Saves inside of coats and jackets. I used to destroy the inside of my suit coat. That Commander and a National Match tore holes until I deburred the sights. One could mold the outside "ear" to lay in closer and not much printing would be seen.

Thanks about the burnishing. I take pride in a good edge.

I like it---a lot.

A good edge is just as important as any other aspect of a leather project. Maybe more so. I don't care how good your tooling or stamping or sewing is, if the edge isn't up to snuff it ruins the whole thing.

I've seen a lot of Roy Baker pancakes, with only the front covering the side/sights etc before sweat shields were popular. It's something you don't see as much of but folks who want it definitely understand why. Nice work :)
