Here are my measurements I can decipher if someone wants because I'm sure it just makes since to me. All along the edge I folded an inch then sewed then folded an inch one more time and sewed. A little hint with the grommets: when you are using the hole puncher it comes with put it in a drill. Makes going through 4 layers pretty easy.

Jkrubcon I got everything from Lowes. The front is attached to the 3 bar loops that the hardtop latches onto. Then the rest except for the very back is double wrapped around the roll bar.

I rigged up a removable holster for my Glock 17/19. It cost less than $25 and seems to be working fine. I bought a Blackhawk holster and some industrial strength Velcro from Walmart. The holster already had the loop portion of the Velcro sewn into it on the right side for putting an adjustable strap on it. I cut off the material covering the Velcro on that side and then put a piece of the latch Velcro on the side of my console. Because I got a few pieces of Velcro in my pack, I'm going to sew a thin piece into the mag pouch and put another strip on my consol just to have Velcro on every contact point (it still holds good even as I have it set up now). Here are some pics of how it turned out...

Ohhh kimber..... I'm jealous. I've got a glock 23 .40. I've been thinking about this mod but never pulled the trigger (no pun intended).
