I was looking for a holster for my new Colt Defender that would fit the pistol properly and would be easy to put on or take off in my situation changed. I fought it when I bought this tunnel holster from Craftholsters.com. I love leather holsters and this one is exactly what I wanted. The quality and fit are perfect. It shipped very quickly and arrived in perfect condition. This is my third holster from Craftholsters and it won’t be my last.
