Stock Holsters for Springfield EMP

Overall the pistol fits just a small amount of play when carrying cock and lock. In time it will adjust. Great holster. My 3rd one.

Very good quality just was not ready to have to break it in, wasn't hard just took a day but after that works great

Working off of the promise of a custom fit for my particular pistol (a 1911A1) as well as a money-back guarantee, I purchased a leather holster for my Springfield Armory EMP 9mm. $97 and about three weeks later, the holster arrived. The holster fit the pistol very nicely, the leather seems to be of quality grade with decent stitching, and it provided a comfortable cant from the two belt loops. It would have been nice to have the interior lined with a softer material, but the fit is satisfactory and it wears very comfortably on my belt. The problem came with the cut of the thumb strap. Every time I closed the thumb strap around the top of the pistol, the tag end of the strap crushed the safety lever to the off position. This is a serious safety issue with a 1911 design. Nothing prevented this, no matter how carefully I put the snap on. I contacted the seller, who told me I should have stated the cut of the thumb strap was for a cocked-and-locked 1911 when I ordered the holster. When I tried to close the strap over the hammer in the down position, it didn't even come close to snapping shut, so I call bull on this excuse. A holster promising a custom fit to the pistol for this kind of money should not be offering any excuses, never mind trying to tell me something that's not true. I pointed this out and they offered to take the holster back...for a 25% "re-stocking fee". So much for their money-back guarantee. They also wanted a bunch of photos of the pistol in and out of the holster. My final fix? I trimmed the excess leather from around the snap at the tag end of the thumb strap myself and it now snaps shut without touching the safety lever on the pistol. All they had to do was offer to fix it with another holster or just refund 100% of my money and I would have been satisfied with their customer service at least. I like the holster but despite their advertising claims, what I got wasn't a truly custom fit and the money-back guarantee isn't 100%. Minus one star for the poor fit on the thumb strap, minus one more for the song and dance I got from customer service. Otherwise, a nice holster.
