AWESOME work on both holsters.

I do have a question on the first one (shoulder holster) you have pictured...I just have to know; how wide are the straps that go around the waiste for this holster?  Looks very thin, but comfy.

Hi Slickshot
sorry for the slow reply i haven't been on for a bit, the strap is 1/2"  it was an educated guess from the photo in the book

No worries, not making one anytime soon; it just looks really thin, and I couldn't tell.  Great Job, it looks great.
