It's a holster that does what it should do. Retains your pistol securely & safely. The speed cut does facilitate an easier presentation & reholstering of the pistol without compromising structural integrity. The belt loop is comfortable; I don't use the paddle attachment. Fits Colt 1911 type as designed but NOT the Para-Ordnance high capacity type. My Para-Ordnance does not quite fit in the trigger guard area. The grip is wider going into the opening. An excellent & very functional holster for the single-stack 1911.
