Liberal Democrat Gun Nut's Review of 1791 Gunleather ThumbBreak Belt Holster
I ordered one of these for a 1911 and the leather is thick and stiff with a very secure hold which I wanted in a OWB holster.
However the hold was TOO stiff even after the recommended break-in of holstering the gun with plastic bags wrapped around the firearm. The unfinished cowhide interior shedded bits of leather on every edge whenever "clearing leather".
This was alleviated by applying a lanolin/silicone mixture to the interior and gently heating the holstered firearm wrapped in a plastic bag, working back and forth until the interior was waxed and broken in.
Now it draws great - but there was labor involved getting it there, hence 4/5 stars
