For me.cut leather 1 inch out from trace line, glue edges, come in 1/2 inch from edge ( easy even numbers lol ) stitch, then trim to 1/4 inch of stitch line, put left handed holster in box of shame and cut out right handed holster. I think if the stitch line was 3/4 inch out from the trace line the fit would have been a little loose. For this build the 1/2 inch stitch line made for a snug fit that should "break in " just right. On this build, the stitch line is 1/2 inch out from the traced line, thats different than cutting the leather 1/2, or 3/4 inch as correctly pointed out by jlsleather, out from the trace line.
I agree with what has been pointed out that the gun thickness, leather thickness, and how you trace all changes final outcome. As for tracing.I have some friends and family out of state that like the holsters I make, I wondered if tracing was a way to make a holster without having the pistol or a bluegun. Thank you everyone for the comments, I use them as a grade card of sorts. (maybe card stock and stapling around the gun but.) Just curious. so other than being very careful and consistent with the mechanics when tracing (which is a hard thing to "get") I don't see another way to pattern. your own tutorials talk about tracing the outline so I assume you do but were working towards making the valid point made about watching how you trace.
JLS I am not sure what you mean by the comment "I never did - and still don't - "get" that thing about tracing the gun". I must have been ambidextrous when I started because 50% of the holsters I made were lefties! Now every pattern gets a big sharpie shout out "RH this side UP" marked on it. And for sure I have learned to watch even more for the chunkier semi-autos or big barrelled revolvers. I agree that the book patterning guides need a little more room as his leather weight guide is lighter than I generally use. Dave I am a tri-weave fan and also really like the lacing touch around the flap edges.
