I recently bought a blue gun so I could practice some designs for holsters. Everybody has a 1911 right? I used Ritza nylon thread and hand saddle stitched it.

Thank you.

You'll have trouble with the draw of the pistol from that due to it sitting too deeply in the holster.  You should be able to get your whole hand on the weapon in a combat grip, meaning no adjustment to grip from draw to presentation.

That is true. I was in a hurry when I previously looked at the holster, and didn't notice this. You want your fingers to get a good grip without the holster being in the way.

Yeah you're right I did go a bit too deep with this design. That's why I said practicing haha. Thanks for the feedback guys.

Hard to tell but you may want to test it to see if that much leather so far up isn't also in danger of moving the safety or depressing the mag release.... learned both hose the hard way once or twice.. mostly with the mag release.... Draw - thud - crap.....

Full combat grip while holstered was my other comment as well.....

When patterning I always mark where the controls are and draw the space for the fingers (fat ones) on the grip.

And every should have a 1911! or two or three....

The good news is the holster is beautifully done.  Yes, the grip is a little covered-up. 

 

Handmade doesn't have flaws it's just built-in character.
