Lonestar grips.

finished this up last night.
it's a Tom Threeperson style in 8-9 oz tooling leather. I've been wearing it all day and it feels really good. for the most part i'm happy with it but I definitely made some mistakes.
the ones I can see are I handled the leather too much while making the holster and both the thread and the flesh side of the leather got dirty.
I punched the front stitching holes crooked, not so noticeable on the front but easily seen on the back.
I used a little too much glue on the belt loop and ended up getting a little squeeze out.
I think I left it 1/4" too long, something I should be able to fix.
the dark spot under the trigger guard I believe is a flaw in the leather, it feels softer than the rest of the holster.
it'll do for a work holster and I should be able to do better on the next one.
