Strange/Andrew’s video recommends using a stitching line 3/16” along the top of the slide. My sights are 1/2” tall. Will the bow of the leather be sufficient to avoid interference with the stitching line at 3/16” or is a greater 1/2” distance required? Find a dowel rod to use for a sight channel. Tape it to the top of your slide and leave it there when taking your measurements with your strap of leather and while forming the holster to your pistol. What type of holster are you making, a 50/50 or flat back pancake, scabbard/avenger style? Maybe someone here will give you better advice for the sight channel. I'd also say a large target sight like that will snag on a softer liner material. What weight veggie tan leather do you have? Scootch Quote

Scootch i just use scrap leather strips cut to the width and height i need.
