Looks real nice. I cannot figure out how one would attach the holster to a belt?

Nice work! I love the stitching for the retaining straps for some reason. Simple I guess? Looks great none-the-less.

Very nice work.  I like the cut on the back of the holster.  looks easy to draw.

Nice clean lines, simple and elegant.

A really beautiful and well thought out design, and perfectly executed.

Looks to be a buscadero type design.

Forester, yet another beautiful holster you have created.  I am glad you lined this one... helps to protect the finish of the weapon. Very nice, I may just have to make one like that for one of my semi autos.

I could be wrong, but I believe Buscadero refers more to the type of gun belt, and how the holster hangs from the belt. That style gun belt was made popular by western movies , but it really did not exist in the in the old west. Professor is on the right track thought, in the sense that Forester's holster resembles that of a western style single action revolver holster (cowboy holster), in which case, the belt would slide between the holster and the holster skirt (back piece of leather).  The  holster and skirt are made from one piece of leather (two if you lined it) that gets folded completely over to make an upside down U. The holster then gets attached (held down) to the skirt via a strap as seen above (Solid skirt holster), or the holster is passed through two slits in the skirt (Mexican loop holster). The pocket formed between the fold at the top and the lower strap (or loop) is where the belt gets passed through.
