Scott,

I got the holster yesterday and MAN is this thing nice.  I think it's even better quality than the ** I had for my P239.  I also appreciate the extra loops you included, though they weren't necessary; the originals work just fine.  Good to know I have back-ups, however.  It took a while longer than expected, but it was very much worth it.  Don't be surprised if I hand your email off to a couple more people wanting a good holster.  BTW, nice touch with the M&M cookies!

Scott!
The holster is AMAZING! I'm going to get some really good pictures with it and spam it ALL over the net!

Scott,

 

I got the holster yesterday.  I got it right before I left for my shift so I didn’t get to check it out until this morning.  It is an amazing piece of work.  I love it.

 

I’m going to make a post about it on the forum later today.

 

If any potential customers have questions about your work or want feedback, point them my way and I’ll be glad to help.

It has been almost a year and a half since i got this holster delivered.

Wanted to post an update on it.

The quality is still top notch. There has been no stretching or loosening of the leather. The retention
 (which for an open top holster is amazing) is still the same as it was day one. The holster still maintains
 it's shape and is very firm yet very comfortable.

I wear this holster upwards of 18 hours a day on off days, and 8 to 10 hours a day on work days.
Since I ALWAYS carry a gun, even inside my own house, this holster is always on my hip and had
worn well.

There has been ZERO change in the quality since the day if first put it on.

I recently bought a mxxx sxxxxx holster on the forum for my duty weapon. Even though it was used I
still paid close to what Scott charges for a new holster. While the Mxxx Sxxxxx holster is a quality
holster, I do not find it nearly as comfortable as the one Scott made for me. If i could do it over again, I
would buy from Scott as opposed to the Sxxxxx holster. In fact, the only reason i bought the Sxxxxx
holster is that i needed it fast, and didn't have the luxury of waiting for what i believe is a superior
holster.

ONE SMALL thing i noticed with this particular holster, is that the rear belt loop came unscrewed at one point a few weeks ago. I simply screwed it in by not allowing the thing to swivel and it is just the same. With the amount i wear it, it was bound to happen and don't think it an issue at all, and it was most likely my error, as opposed to any design error.    EDIT by BRL *BRL recommends checking the 5/64 hex head screws occassionaly. DO NOT use LocTite or other adhesives. If you need to change loops or move them for any reason, you will likely strip the T Nut in-between the layers of leather*

I'm not affiliated with Scott, Big River Leather, or anyone else. I'm just a satisfied user who wants to
share my long term review of this product.

If anyone is on the fence regarding buying one of these holster, please do and try it out. I doubt you will
be disappointed.

Scott,
The holster and pouch are GREAT!  Form, fit, and function are excellent.  I will definitely avail myself of your services in the future and I'll definitely give your work positive feedback on the forum.  Feel free to use me as a reference for your work.  It is outstanding!
Thanks,
Gonzo
Hey Scott,
I love the holster.  Unfortunately, my wife beat me to the m&m cookies.  I tried both of the loops and really like the cross draw.  Now I can't wait for my tax day sale holsters.
Thanks!

The holsters are AWESOME!  I carried in the Beretta one over the weekend and it was great.  Workmanship on them is superb.  I love them.  Thanks for a great deal.

And a post on a gunforum from Memo -

First I will like to thank Scott for a superior job he has done on the holster. He has taken the concept and created something special. I don’t think I have to discuss the fit and finish quality. That part is given simply: Exceptional!
Here are my thoughts after 3 days of use. I have tried many different IWH holsters and settled with ****-*** **** and ***** ****** *******. Both are very comfortable no doubt specially the ****. However there is something to be said about quality custom leather. I had the chance to use the DLM holster both with wing snaps and tuckable clips. Mind you the holster is in break-in period. Holster is very comfortable with both wing snaps and tuckable clips. Absolutely no pressure points, hotspots or rubbing. The amount of offset with both wing snaps and tuckable clips are adjustable and perfect. Weapon pulls out and holsters very smooth. Don’t have to tilt the weapon to draw as with ****. Weight and thickness of the holster are very similar to ****
.
I am very pleased with this holster. Scott’s superior craftsmanship speaks for it self. I would recommend this holster to anyone who is looking for a custom holster with flexibility.
After all how can I not recommend this holster it is named after me. Big Grin

Cheers!

Scott, all I can say is WOW! The holster came today and is absolutely beautiful. It fits my Sig better than O.J.'s glove! It fits close to the body and rides nice and high, easy to hide under any shirt. The problem is, it looks to good to conceal. It is by far the nicest holster I have had, the photos do not do it justice. Many thanks for the great service and the matching mag carrier.

Scott,

Just wanted to let you know that the belt was delivered today, its a perfect fit.  I don't know much about high quality leather belts and have always just wore regular old belts from a department store but let me tell you this is one hell of a belt!  I love it, thanks again!

Josh

My wait was well worth it.
These holsters are - in my humble opinion a perfect example of craftsmanship and quality.
(and lousy photography on my part)
Thank you very much for 3 perfect holsters with matching mag carriers...only one shown because it steals the show. IMHO
Tracey is elated with her rigs fit and finish also....pardon me while I gloat on my own and gaff off a dissertation about how happy she was .....yea her's is perfect yada yada bla bla bla. BUT MINE I WAY MORE COOL!
Am sure you have numerous pictures of holsters but will send more of each rig once I get the opportunity for your archives.
Only draw back I see is my ogling over them is cutting into my time for chores.
Need to get the shine out of the pictures and find a better back ground...color is not as true in the pictures as I would like also.
Makes for a good screen saver at work too.

Thank you again for ....... perfection... -insert LARGE smile here- by the way quality is my job so know it when I see it.....and you nailed it.
