Thank-you very much. I see areas for improvement, of course.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Every time I see these photos pop up I'm impressed, Mark. The design, the evenness of the stitching, the boning, the edge finish - all look very professional to me. They reflect a lot of time, thought and effort. Very nice job! Image below from Mark Freburg - Image Title: photos I made this holster for a Smith & Wesson 4053 I used to own. I've made several holsters in the past but it is work and I haven't made one in a long time. Mine are not professional in appearance but I pride myself that the features are correct and I don't add stupid gimmicks or misplace features, a common problem with factory holsters. This one is glued and sewn, hand-boned and finished hard. Shaped to the gun on the outside, flat on the inside for comfort and to provide even better retention as it is an open-top. Edges are finished. Slots are pre-formed for the belt so that they won't soften as much if they had to be broken-in after the holster was formed. The trigger guard is indented on both sides for added retention.

On this one I placed the rough-out side to the wearer to help it remain in place even better.
