After Major 2 posted about the carry holster he wanted, I got to thinking about the Brill vs the Heiser designs. Since I like both, I combined the aspects I preferred and came up with this. I made it out of belly leather to test the design With a few changes, this would be a good design. The leather was so soft, it wouldn't burnish and when I tried, it covered the stitching in a couple places but what the heck, it was a test pattern for several ideas. I'll modify the pattern slightly for a final construction.
For ease of assembly, I just attached the ends of the strap with rivets (I wasn't too careful about setting them properly since this is only a test holster.
On a holster made with good leather, the toe would get burnished after stitching.
