Holster fits my Kimber 1911 perfectly, and the leather quality and workmanship is top notch! Fits close and rides high for good concealment, and works well in a cross-draw configuration. Only draw back is the holster is difficult to remove without removing your belt.

I bought a comparable holster for half the price but was never satisfied. I spent the money to get a top of the line holster and that it is. Very satisfied!!!You cannot go wrong with Galco and Optics Planet.

This is a great holster for my Sig P229 and the fit is perfect. This was a first time purchase from OpticsPlanet and would not hesitate to purchase from them again!

Galco quality but the retainning clip on the paddle makes it imposible to get on or off without taking your belt off. I have a safariland paddle holster that works great on a full size gun but they do not make one for a 3 inch auto.

Pros:  Beautiful and functional, Easy on and off.
Cons:  Paddle is a little short, a large gun will be a little top heavy. Belt holster will be more stable.
Would recommend:  yes

I use a Kimber 1911 Stainless Raptor 5" barrel with this holster. The gun fits perfect after a day or two of leaving gun in for break-in. The paddle is short witch I think may be what causes the rig to be a little top heavy. Its not as stable as I had thought. Not bad enough for me not to carry it but still, I like a large sturdy paddle. Overall the holster is good and I will wear it with dress clothes, not as an everyday rig.

Another quality product from Galco. Ideal for someone wanting to carry a concealed weapon. It easily installs on a belt without having to thread the belt through holster loops. The handgun felt secure and comfortable for the entire day.

Pros:  It's really two holsters in one. Adjusts to any belt width.
Cons:  A little tricky to remove
Would recommend:  yes

This is my first paddle style holster. I was looking for something that would work for a strong side, as well as a cross draw, and this fit the bill. I'm just not very comfortable with the cross draw technique, but this will do the job. It will also adjust to any belt width for a secure attachment.
