Over priced

Took a dow rod, hammer and a 9 year old to get weapon out when inserted the first time. Did not make that mistake twice. Took three soakings with weapon wrapped in plastic bag to get set to my Springfield 5". Front sight has groove cut into leather between slide strips. Slide alignment strips already leaving wear marks serious problem if you have a blued gun. Hope to take it to the range with me after two weeks of prep. Seems to hang well but need to get loaded up and see how it releases under fire.

Kimber Ultra

This is a great holster, but if I had it to do over again I would suffer through the long wait and get one for a 3" barrel.

not so happy

I purchased this product for a Kimber Crimson Trace Ultra Carry II. The weapon fits very snugly and looks like it would break-in very nicely. The problem I have with the holster is the snaps. When I tried it on I found it difficult to keep the snaps in place. Any movement downwards would make my belt ride up in the loops and pop the snaps open. All in all a very nice looking product. Just not happy with the snap idea. Im looking for a J hook design.
