It doesn't look like its inside your waistband. Is it in a car door pocket ?

Not bad for a first attempt. I would like to see the stitching as close to the edges as possible and as close to the gun as possible. This minimizes loosening up of the gun's pouch and leather layers peeling back. I'm sure you can easily develop your skills and methods to make better holsters each time you do another one - since you have the basics already.
