I took a look at the gun here https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/mp-bodyguard-380-crimson-trace

The button appears to be recessed. If you recess your inside stitches and/or line the holster I don't see a problem. Or line it with 3/4 leaving a groove as mentioned before.

You could also rivet the clip on.

You can get into plating pretty cheap if you want. It's not for everyone.

That IS the correct model. But that buton isn't recessed, it's raised.  Here's a holster I made for it in another style, at  another time (note the 'bump').

But, my big sister is in town, so I'm off to do lunch ... ;)

I would drive a .125" piece of lauan board or plastic inbetween the form and the leather at the end of forming.  Round off the end in 3 dimesions on your belt sander and it will look and perform fine.

Also, I oversized the holster in this application to allow for the clip.  I tried to attach a photo but size limitations will not allow.  Check out my website on the single clip page.  The barbed wire border job was for this pistol with no laser.  A little extra leather goes a long way with these new tiny tuckers.

So what keeps the leather from pushing down when this "form' is removed?

That looks awfully loose.  Maybe if we could see it with the gun IN it?

I like to see a holster FIT a gun, like ... no room to flex and "smoosh".  No wrinkles, front OR back.  "extra space" between the gun and the stitch line won't take long to become a wet noodle.

Just gonna tell that gal her holster can't be done with hardware currently available to me.  Maybe make her one with TWO clips.. ahead of and behind the pistol.
