very nice holster and belt design. color is great too.

one thing i learned from another forum on forming leather to gun for the front sight is to lay a wood dowel against the front sight and run it up the top of the handgun holding it on gun with tape(blue painters tape works well) put in holster for wet forming. this helps you to form the sight channel in the holster for eaiser drawing of the hand gun.

the dowel thickness is determined by the height of the front sight. you want the dowel to be just a hair above the front sight. this little trick works well for me whe i make a holster for a 1911. i think it should work well with all types of handguns.
