Members skinhacker Posted June 28, 2018 Members Report Posted June 28, 2018 Love the decorative stitch. The others pointed out the big thing, don't cover the mag release. That serves two purposes. One less chance of accidental mag release and it allows for more grip purchase on the draw. Now get to work on a good sturdy gun belt for him Quote

If your stitchline is tight against the trigger guard and the barrel then you’ll have no worries about retention. I’ll glue my portion under the grip(let dry) insert gun take a silver pen and mark where I want my stitch tight to the gun. Remove gun sew. Test for the gun and it’s usually snugger than a bug in a rug wet holster put real gun in ziploc bag and insert into holster and manipulate the leather till I get it exactly where I want it and let dry. So for friction fit holsters it's more about the stitch line and the molding correct? About how far should the stitch be? My thoughts being if it is too close to the trigger it will end up tearing the leather? 7 hours ago, skinhacker said: Love the decorative stitch.

It’s gonna vary by gun and holster type. Quote
