It has arrived! Gotta love it when a grown man starts waiting by the door for a package.
It looks fantastic. The color is a perfect, deep brown that is exactly what I was looking for. I got an extra set of loops in black, as well, so that I can blend it in with any belt/pant combo. The fit is good. The pistol rides at a good height with enough of the slide below the belt to stabilize the unit.
It should be a very comfortable set up It is as slim as this type of holster can be, without the reinforced opening. Obviously, this is how I asked for it to be made and I was pleased to have the option. I really do not see it being an issue and welcome the little bit of savings in width.
The real test of the comfort of the non-reinforced style and the overall TT gunleather design will come once it has been worn in. Right now, it is as stiff as it will ever be, so I can't honestly give it a true review yet. But, from what I can tell so far, this is a great holster and the highest quality leather build I have ever owned. I have tried (never owned) a VMII and have owned various all leather holsters in many different styles, so I do have a basis for comparison.
ANyways, I'll do another review in six months, or so. Until then, here are some pictures:
