Leather is of heavy weight and finish similar to the clothing market. Easy to slip on and off. Good adjustability for both platform and mags. Shipping came as promised. Upon receiving the box, I gathered my plastic wrap, sheep wool and alcohol. Upon sizing the holster, the platform glided in with absolute perfection. Unbelievable! This rig carries a Shadow 2 compact on a daily basis and is worth every penny. Good job!
