my first Holster
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.

Nice work for your first one. Question, the whole trigger guard exposed, that's the Tom Threeperdon style you referring to?

We should know by now, there isn't a lot you can't do.
