My opinion western holsters should be firm and permit easy draw and reholstering. Soft holsters tend to slow draw and reholstering and can be a safety issue. I notice there is a hammer thong that can be used when not in use. Soft holsters for cowboy action or concealed carry should be stiff. JMHO
 
	Very nice rig, just need a L. H. holster to finish it off.
