[QUOTE="K-Man, post: 1491099, member: 531"] An all leather holster is going to mold to the body much easier and ultimately be more comfortable. A couple of things you need to consider. The current set up shown in the pics is going to get loose in relatively short order. You need to learn how to stitch the two pieces together, especially around the frame of the gun. The overall quality of the leather offered at Tandy and some other places is really poor quality, in all honesty. There is truly a marked difference between manufacturers/tanneries. Top quality leather will give you greater durability, function and form. The leather at Tandy is a good place to start, but you really don't want to spend much time, or money, there for leather, even if it is for projects for yourself. The only thing I buy from Tandy now is the BARGE cement, chicago screws, and spring belt clips. Also, you want to use clips that are coated. Otherwise those that you show, and others, will tear/scrap up a leather belt in a nanosecond. [/QUOTE]
