Luger 45 ACP Project

The stitching is disappointing. Why does it look so much better on the back?

Yes I agree. This holster was made quickly with the idea that it wouldn't survive the patterning process. It came back from GT with modifications suggested, was torn apart, sliced and diced and I cobbled it back together. It was also made with less than premium grade leather and was never meant for sale. I now have an accurate pattern so if I ever have a need to make a production .45 holster I can do it. This sad example can be relegated to the Lugerholsterrepair museum or I might give it away.

But thanks for noticing. It was fun while it lasted.
