Nice work for your first one. Question, the whole trigger guard exposed, that's the Tom Threeperdon style you referring to?

Nice first one , should have seen mine , I was about 13 years old . I wouldn't let anybody see it , but I learned . Quality leather is pricey .

thanks Arley,

it's a lot of fun and a nice change from grip making. I hope to have another one made here soon.

A couple of years ago I made one of this same style and put it up for sale on another site . It caused a fire storm . People said I was going to get sued if someone bought it and shot themselves because of the open trigger design .

Man it got hot and heavy from both sides of the design . I suppose it could happen with a single six but with a 1911 it would be hard ( not impossible )

I am not trying to start something here , just reminded me of the one I made .

By the way it did sell and the guy loved it and the conversations it started when people saw it .

I like the design my self .

lol they must have all been fan boys, as you said it would be mighty hard to shoot yourself with a 1911 just because the trigger's exposed.
