Hand made leather holster and extra mag for a M&P 40

[Spectraman]

This is my third holster I have made so far. This one is for my M&P 40

Very nice! Looks great and I'm jealous.
I noticed the painted logo on the grip. How did you do it? I know how to do it on the slide, but how did you get the clean look without damaging the polymer frame?

Nice holster. I see two issues with it. First the corner near the sight needs to be curved a little more, same with the mag piece. Points tend to fray quickly.
Second It looks like your sight channel is minimal. This might cause the sight to catch the bottom of the holster when you draw the weapon. At least it might come out with fuzzies on the sight and at worst it will snag and not come out. Something to consider on the next one.

You have a great start. Keep up the good work. It looks nice.

Thanks I used white lacquer finger nail polish and non acetone nail polish remover to clean it up.

Thanks need all the help I can get. Now I know you can't tell from the picture but for the sight channel I use a 3/8 wooden rod taped to the gun when I molded it is 3/8 not enough?
