Help with Needle size

[rccolt45]

Hi guys,

 

I am using a cobra 4 on 7/8 and 8/9 leather for holsters. I am using 277 over 207 thread. Can you all suggest the correct needle size, type and a place I can order them?

 

thanks

For 277/207, I like a size 24 with an LL point.  Depending on the thread you are using, too.  Some threads are stiffer and seem to work better with a #25 needle (I have some brown that is 'moody' in a 24 needle, but works just fine in a 25).
