Well I screwed up and ordered the wrong holster. XDM ELITE 3.8 10 MM Thought I clicked the light bearing option but I did not. It's an excellent HOLSTER so I will just keep it. It fits my old Ruger P95 just fine.

I couldn’t be happier with this purchase so far! Received 8 days after purchase as promised. I have several other leather holsters that I’ve bought over the years and paid a lot more for them and this exact same design. This is a quality holster. The fit was tight as expected but I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that they have pre formed the holster to the curvature of the body! The same holster from a different manufacturer came flat and took a lot of time to break in. I also purchased the break in solution and it works great. Following instructions for break in and the next day the holster fits perfectly. Still a bit tight but it takes a bit to fully break in. Compared to the other holster I have of the same design this has a slightly more forward cant to it which I absolutely love! I’m not a skinny guy and this holster doesn’t dig into my love handles. With the ride height and the perfect cant it’s really easy to draw, more up and forward than my other one that I have to go further up before the forward. Definitely quality work!

The holster itself fits perfectly a bit stiff at first but nothing that a couple days of working the leather didn’t solve. My only real complaint is that when I was asked what size do I want the magazine carrier to be I responded capable of holding 15 round mags unfortunately what I got was fit for the 11 rounders too short by 1/4 inch for the 15s.
