BruceGibson Posted August 13, 2020 Report Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Feedback's always welcome. This is an OWB/belt slide/pancake for a 4" or 4.25" Commander-length 1911. Ride's high, excellent retention and concealment, slots are for a 1.5" wide, dual-layer (1/4" thick) gun belt. The leather is two layers of 7/8 ounce Hermann Oak, and the stitching is #346 white polyester on top, and #277 polyester in the bobbin. I sewed this on my Leather Machine Company/Cobra Class 4P. The sight-track is molded-in using a wooden dowel and all edges are beveled and finished (including the belt slots). Fire away! Questions are always welcome, too.
