This is my second holster from JLW. The first served me well for a XDS and got many compliments. The leather does not add bulk(minimalist), is SUPER HIGH quality, and will literally last forever. Back in the day, things were made with love. This just brings you back to those days. Once you try one of Johns holsters, you will instantly feel quality craftsmanship, expertise(to reduce bulk and in design), and durability! –Matt K., Battleboro, NC
