wizard of tragacanth Report post Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Well, you have definitely cleaned up the edges and have given it a nice contour. The dye and finish are good... and that firearm is awesome! I am a huge Sig fan. Things to consider: I am wondering if there is enough room to get a full firing-grip on the pistol. It looks like the leather comes up a little too high but that could be due to the slight angle of the picture. I am seeing some finger nail marks and the goal is not to have any. I had a huge problem with this on my first few projects. At first you will need to have great awareness every time you touch the leather. Later, it will become totally natural and you will not even have to think about it. The stitching that goes around the trigger guard and under the barrel, needs to be much closer in… as close as you can get it. If your sewing machine cannot get in there, you may have to hand-stitch that line. I only hand-sew so I can’t be of any help there. You could still fix this on this project. Here is an example. On one of my earlier projects, I did not stitch close enough. I went back and stitched closer in. It worked out. nick Edited October 11, 2019 by wizard of tragacanth trying to clean up my mess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GnewVFL Report post Posted October 11, 2019 Thank you! The leather does come up a little too high on the grip for sure you can get a full grip but it’s not as comfortable as I wanted. The marks are from my 3 yr old smacking it with my leather mallet when I walked away from it for 2 minutes lol luckily the holster is for a friend and it was free so he is happy w it * also def gonna get the stitch line closer on the one I have going now. Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
