Todd’s holster Self made (pics)
As I was ordering the holster from Todd I thought well if the rivets are what can scratch the gun why not just stitch it up myself? So I asked Todd if he could just send me the parts so I could do this myself! Todd doing some great customer service said of course and even gave me a scrap of leather for the plug on the bottom. So I used some leather tools (over stitcher, and groover) put it together and got a great holster! Here are some pictures

you use this tool to mark out your stitches...

And this to groove it, this also give you a line that is even from edge to "run" the over stitcher along...

And now you have the tools for 20$ that you need to stitch any leather.

you did a real nice job with your holster. I especcialy like the equalness of the groves. I used a different tool, but mine were not as good as yours:

Yep...
Yes this is the holster I made from Todd's leather. I asked him to send it to me apart I called him and asked him to send it in parts. Then I just made the bottom plug from a scrap Todd gave me. The oversticher really made the job easy I just used an awl to punch out the holes then a leather needle to string it together...If you or anyone else wants help just pm me or I’ll write up a tutorial if you want

Awl.
Can you use an awl on this or would a needle be easier? Are there any good websites that get into detail as far as stitching leather goods? I'd really like to stitch in my barrel plug but dn't wanna screw it up.
