Quality wise I'd give it a 5 star rating. It took three days with the break-in spray to get the gun fit nice. For me ... it's snug enough to feel secure, but loose enough for a smooth draw without excessive pulling. The security strap, however, is taking more time, The stretch on it needs to be a bit more than the diameter of the snap ... this is the same issue I'm dealing with on my earlier leather holster.

Too all the potential buyers of Craft Holsters, my excellent rating of this paddle holster is only surpassed by my excellent rating of the Craft Holster company. They offer products to suit different weapons, which other companies haven't even considered offering. I bought this paddle holster, and am completely satisfied, and will also be ordering another one of their shoulder holster systems very soon for this particular weapon. Great Job, Craft Holsters!
