Thanks Folks!

JBar - that's a good example of a small mistake at the beginning carrying all the way to the end. In this case, apparently I didn't trace the gun outline carefully enough.

OTOH - even with the excess width AND a piece of 10 ounce leather placed in between the front and back there as a filler, there's just enough room for the trigger guard. It pushed the holster apart so much the glue on the filler gave out on the inside edge. The long back stitch was added to hold the filler in place better - and to add strength to the holster at a stress point

Next time - more accuracy in tracing the outline - and more filler at the trigger guard?
