That was a fun day, as a sponsored shooter my leather guy can be very creative. The part you cannot see is that holster is actually Kydex lined. He asked me to come over and verify fit and how the pistol draws. It fit great! He is amazing. In several arenas we are not allowed to utilize leather for a holster due to the complications of coming in and out of holster at speed. Thinking outside the box my non conformity self thought why could we not have Kydex on inside and leather on outside. I took a dremel to a Kydex holster and trimmed all non essential material off. Then leather guy shrunk the leather onto the Kydex. It is amazing. The belt is just a prop to establish elevation, the finish belt is purty! I like my holsters slung low Buscadaro style. I am still rocking that holster and I got no idea how many he was able to manufacture as a result of that collaboration. His leather craftsmanship skills are amazing.
