What did you use to cut the leather? Very clean cuts.

This is my first attempt at kydex, it is not as easy as it looks. I'm aware I made a lot of mistakes on my first run, criticisms is welcome.

I got a pack of 2 white ones in the sewing section.

Love this thread. Been lurking and learning here for months. I use a pencil. Here is one of my holsters.

Do you come across any difficulty reholstering with this holster?

All of my IWB hybrid holsters reholster just fine except the one I made for my m&p and tlr 1. Im assuming the wider "mouth" allows for the holster to close a bit.

Comparing my holster to yours, i only have two mounting screws under the light where you have three. I only have the bottom two... Maybe that third mounting point higher up will aid in keepin the holster open.
