As you can see from the Deckard holster, I'm able to deboss quite complex designs into the leather with my press.
So, it's entirely possible to have the Snubby's maker's logo pressed into the leather...
Or a Steyr logo,for example....

Oh yes!...wow, never thought of that; so could do one for Golberg Arms, Steyr, Rick Ross, etc...  |

Yes indeed.
Rick Ross,
Goldberg Arms
Steyr
were my first three choices.
Also other 'makers' information, such as model number etc, as I did on the Deckard holster.
It's also possible to add serial numbers and letters with a modular stamp set I have.
I have a clear idea of the holster configuration in my head now. An open-muzzle holster, without an internal spring (so as not to damage blasters with painted finishes), but has a retainer strap.
Would consensus be that the holster had a thumb break, or a finger break on the retainer?

...is the finger vs thumb break simply an esthetic concern?

It's both aesthetic and functional.
Finger break is harder to design in, and may not work comfortably given the cramped conditions around the top of the gripframe/triggerguard. I'll know when I make the proto.
I think the design of the BR blaster will work well for a thumb break, as there's a natural placement between the top of the gripframe and the back of the receiver. It'll be the most secure.

I know you are moving along on this, but for the sake of the under-educated here, can you explain or show the difference?

Sure Dave,
Basically a thumb break is a strap which goes over the top of the pistol, usually just behind the hammer spur. It has a strap end sticking up.
When you go for the gun, your thumb is in a natural position to encounter the sticking up bit and applies pressure which pops the snap open on the strap, the gun is free to draw.
A finger break is exactly the same idea, but is underneath the gun, by the top of the grips. When you go for the gun, your first or second finger encounters the strap end on the way to grasping the grip. The snap pops under pressure, draw!

Thanks. Always good to see what we're discussing.
I'd opt for the thumb brake. - R13

I think a thumb break suits the weapons better.

..I agree...as a former cop (40 years ago) the thumb break was the norm..
