I'm telling you, man you do nice work. It does look really good though. I'm like you, a CCW holster isn't about pretty. It needs to be functional ( secure gun properly, cover trigger ) not flimsy and be comfortable. Open carry would be a different story, then you might want to be fancy and show off a fine weapon in some fine looking leather. I believe in Texas that's what they call a BBQ gun. Although dont get me wrong either, nothing wrong with a pretty CCW holster that fits the requirements.
