Just today I received a holster I ordered from them. I ordered a Sourdough Pancake for a 45 Long Colt Uberti Cattleman with a 4 3/4 inch barrel. I've double checked my order just now. I had pretty high expectations after reading so many positive things on their website and in this forum. Frankly it is the least impressive leather holster I've ever gotten.
Positives
1. Decent finish.
2. The cross draw slot is perfectly placed for me.
3. The gun rides high in the normal slot like it should. Slot placement is perfect.
Negatives
1. The holster is too long! With the gun shoved (and I do mean shoved) in as far as it can go their is still 1.5 inches of holster remaining. I thought these were made to order?
2. The holster is too stiff. I expected a stiff holster since it is designed to retain the gun without any straps (a design I prefer) but this is nothing short of ridiculous.
All the leather holsters I've had over the decades have been for various 1911's, Taurus revolvers, and Glocks. I've never run into one that was so excessively oversized in length while being so excessively tight. I'm wondering if this is normal with this maker and if I should even waste my time returning it. Money isn't an issue. I want a holster that works the way it should. On a totally positive note the cartridge slide I ordered is perfect.
