@pantera-mike @andyc I think we have one of those holsters in the achieve somewhere, I just didn't know where it came from. I will contact them. Thank you for the info.

Hip holster is Safariland #103. I actually have two of them and they differ in several details, most notably the method of retention. Most have a strap that goes behind the trigger guard, while some have a strap that goes behind the slide, under the hammer, allowing for safe ‘cocked and locked’ carry:

 
 
ironically, one of mine is defective as it was made about a half inch too short! There is absolutely no way to carry a full-size Auto Mag and secure it with the strap. The issue isn’t that the strap is too short.  The bottom of the holster (the one without the leather thigh tie down) is visibly shorter than the other one. 

personally I would prefer a more modern design, one that uses a thumb break to retain the back of the slide and go between the back of the slide and face of the hammer, 1911-style.

@pantera-mike, I think i Might have a rare find.  Being a south paw I found a LH 101 and bought it in anticipation of getting a classic. Hopefully it fits!

@rodney-fox sorry for the slow reply. I keep forgetting to set up notifications so I will be emailed when someone posts. I just fixed that. According to Patrick, we should ship 30 to 40 this month. 60-80 in January and 100+ by February.

Sam Andrews at Andrew’s Custom Leather makes fantastic holsters.

He has made holsters for my wife and myself that are well made and beautiful.

Wow, very nice holsters. Are those python?    I love to look at Sams exotic catalog.  The stingray is fascinating.  

   My automag holster will be just plain oiled leather.
