Having already purchased two holsters from Craft Holsters, a shoulder rig for a Walther P99c 9MM and a second for an H.K. USP in 40 cal, I was well aware of the phenomenal quality of both materials and craftsmanship that Craf Holsters puts into their products. Everything from form to function had been flawless. Having been so impressed with my previous previous purchases I knew right where to go when I needed a holster for my latest addition. I wanted a Kydex OWD right hand draw for Colt Python 4.25 barrel. It would need to (A) hold the weapon securely with out a retention strap, (B) have adjustable hight and cant, and (C) be suitable for not only carry in the three o'clock position but be able to switch to a cross draw position quickly. I knew exactly where to look. To be honest I did check out other websites but found them lacking. With zero hesitation I placed my order with Craft Holsters and waited for my order to arrive. Once I received my order I immediately checked the fit and function and was throughly impressed and pleased with every aspect of my new holster. If / when I need another holster I will not hesitate to order from Craft Holsters again. Quality matters.
