Members Akers Posted May 28, 2021 Author Members Report Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Bert03241, I completely agree!!! Lol I'm surprised no one picked up on that sooner. This was the first one I made (made for one of my son in laws). I had finished it including sealing it and posting it here, before I realized I hadn't sewn the edges! Oh well, practice makes perfect. If it comes apart on him, I'll make him another one. Edited May 28, 2021 by Akers Added words I didn't want. Quote

As a former soldier, I'd far rather have someting like that than something glossy (shone) with the edges picked out (shape), those being two of the things you break up with camouflage - the others being silhouette and shadow.

Sewing the edges is not for show. Its to make sure it holds up out in the field . The putting it on and taking it off a belt and the constant drawing and holstering of the weapon, takes it toll on the holster and the edges will start to come apart. He could still sew the edges on this one if he so desired .Not hard to do. Again JMHO. Quote

The best of the best asked for me. Quote
