 Anybody in the Dallas area that can modify a holster for me?

I have a Don Hume leather IWB holster for a Makarov that I would like to have an additional snap installed on the thumb break. The holster fits the Makarov perfectly, it also fits my Polish P-64 ALMOST perfectly too. The problem with the P-64 is that there is almost 1/2 inch too much slack on the thumb break where it goes over/across the hammer.

It appears to me that there is more than enough room for an additional snap. I also know with my leather working skills, that when I am finished, I will have a perfectly screwed up holster.

I doubt that the pistol would ever fall out. At my age I will probably never be running with it on, or at least not more than 30-40 yards. Short of standing on my head I am not really worried about it coming out, but why take the chance.

I tried a piece of neoprene, but it compresses too much. An additional piece of leather on the strap appears that it will make the leather too stiff and not pliable.

TIA

There has to be a saddle shop or cobbler in the area
