Greetings all!

I wanted to get some opinions on some of my recent work.
I would like to know good and bad points, please. (Keep it clean though.

)
This rig is for a 92F/M9. It is cow with Bali shark on the mag pouch and holster; the belt is a type of reef shark from Mexico. (They are two seperate orders... but I thought they would look pretty cool together.)

The shark on the mag pouch is the natural shape. I only trimmed it at the top; I thought it looked pretty cool that way.

The belt is my second shark belt; I am wearing the first one because it had some stitch imperfections. (I needed a new belt anyway. LOL.)

The shark design on the holster is inspired by Eric from HBE Holsters. Eric was kind enough to look at some of my work and give his opinion. I took his advice and changed some things and feel better about myself and my work. However, there is more work and learning ahead.

I look forward to the comments and would like to thank my customers for their imput and the advice of other holster makers who took the time to talk to me and share some of their knowledge and thoughts.

Cheers.

I'm impressed! I'll let you know via PM whether my lobbying efforts are successful (the CFO handles the budget!). You do good work my friend!

Hey Dave, beautiful holster man! The grain of the shark is awesome. I like the cant of the holster and the angle of the mag carrier, it all looks very good and seems like they would ride very well. The only thing I would change a little on it is to cover the trigger gaurd a little more. That is just my personal preference, I am always particular about. Again, nice work on the whole set up.

Thanks man.
You are right about the trigger guard, I should have. I think I was afraid to have too much coverage because the guy has really big paws. I should have adjusted the cant and so on...

Thanks!
