Mike,
Well I'm the lucky purchaser of this great holster. My wife took a "Woman on Target" class in Victorville and the lady's involved talked her into going to the Friends of the NRA dinner in Victorville, Well I saw and liked the holster and bid and was the low and only bidder that night. The funny thing was I thought it was for a Colt SA and figured I was going to have to buy a piece to match the holster (darn a reason to buy a new gun). Well when I got home the Ruger wheel gun just fit but something was wrong and then I read this post and it all made sense. Well it seems to fit my Colt 1911 US Navy Gov issue to a tee. Now I'm going to have to talk with you about some projects for some other tools in the safe. The wife didn't like the holster at first but she says it's growing on her. Perhaps it's because everyone that has seen it tells us how cool it looks. Really I don't care her thought about it as I'm the person wearing it.
Maybe we can talk some time. We live in Loma Linda and I go into the Mojave-Victimville/Phelan/Barstow area now and again for work. Come winter I've also been known to take long walks for chukar's in that neck of the world. Ralph
