The neatness, and craftsmanship is not mine, it is all Robert, he designed and built it, I just have to write out the check.
The split makes sense as it allows the leather to break-up the pistol profile yet allows your hand to slip in between the leather flap and the pistol grip, get a good purchase on the pistol and draw.
My hat is off to you Robert for being so clever. The craftsmanship as always is outstanding.
I am proud to call him my friend.
