Sorry folks, I was too busy to pay attention to this thread.
First, few facts; I was the one that that brought the issue of bad holster here, pointing what's wrong with it, what to look for when buying one. Nylon holsters are not very common for revolvers in, at that time, Toronto area. The one I found was in another town, about two hours away and I phoned the store. I made mistake ordering this holster without seeing it, and now I am telling to others what kind of product to avoid. Some of you already know about this particular product, so no point of reminding you. However, there are some other folks that are not aware of this issue and if I warned just one shooter, I will be happy.
And what was reaction from some of you? WHAT-DID-YOU-EXPECT-FOR-TWENTY-BUCKS-HOLSTER!? I just (rightfully) expect that damn thing stays in a single piece if I put it on the belt and slip in it 48 oz revolver! I don't buy attitude that it's normal when even $20 holster falling apart after sitting in a drawer several years. Look at these long gun slings from my father's gun cabinet:
Those two on right side must be at least 60 years old. They cannot be cheaper made, yet, they served well for at least 35 years. And still in a single piece.
Another reason I am not big fan of leather holsters is that in the field, getting through dense bush, they get scratched. Here is one I use for 44 Bisley, and will use it until replaced with nylon one, new, or if I fix broken one:
TacticalJanitor and some others are right! This is not THR level! Personally, I couldn't care less. But, what kind of message we are sending to new members, or those who would like to join this, probably the best forum on internet? And maybe more important, what were are telling to manufacturers? That it's OK to sell mediocre product, like that holster, and put blame on unaware customers!?
Also. as for those giving lessons to others, yep, I am 100% sure they never, ever made mistake buying something, just to learn later on that they wasted hard earned buck, some time hundreds. FYI, been there, done that! But, instead of keeping quiet, pretending that I am smart and know everything, I passed my experience to others, especially youngers, so they wouldn't make my mistake.
