DG's Review of Galco Yaqui Paddle Holster for Colt 5" 1911
I had wanted this holster for a while now. I finally got it, (Optics Planet was the least expensive) and I was so excited, until I tried to draw. The paddle comes right out of the pants and the holster stayed on the gun, no matter how tight I could do my belt. So, this is no good for a concealed carry holster. If you need your gun, you will most likely get your holster too, then have to hold it and draw the gun.
I had to send it back, to try to find another leather paddle holster.
It is a design flaw with the paddle. The retention for in the pants is on the bottom of the paddle, inside the pants. There is nothing on the back side of the holster to catch the outside of the belt (like the serpa holsters/ which work great, but take the finish off parts of the slide and frame)
