For what it's worth, that holster doesn't fit that gun. Are you looking for one where your gun sticks through the bottom like that?
In any case, that is a basic Bruce Nelson #1 Professional/Avenger style holster. They are made by nearly every holster maker.
Some of the better known makers...
Milt Sparks 55BN http://www.miltsparks.com/products-55-bn.php
Kramer Vertical Scabbard http://www.kramerleather.com/productDetail.cfm?productID=13&categoryID=24
Alessi ACP http://www.alessigunholsters.com/acp-1/
Wild Bill's Concealment Classic Speed Scabbard http://www.wildbillsconcealment.com/classic_speed_scabbard.htm
Davis Leather Liberty http://davisleathercompany.com/concealedcarry/
Edit: I think the pictured holster is a Rafter S holster. They went out of business a few years ago.

Looks like a 5" gun with a comp in a standard 5" holster. As long as the front sight is on the slide and not the comp, it should draw fine.

I'd venture to say the bottom is cut to accommodate 4"+ 1911s, but the holster certainly fits the gun. Albeit little detail molding, there is nice and tight stitching. The wrapped reinforced mouth reminds me of Milt Sparks, but I don't see the craftsmanship.
If the exposed barrel renders the holster 'unfit', then I think you have a bone to pick with slide holsters
You could always call Saljo’s in Pantego, Tx and ask Sal Kolic himself

It's a 5" gun with a comp in a 5" holster. If you look closely you can see the cuts in the comp.

The holster is a Bruce Nelson #1 Professional clone (zero cant). If it is angled on the belt, it is a Bianchi Askins Avenger clone. The holsters ride high and close to the body, and hide well under a loose shirt.
That particular holster could have been made by anyone, as most holster makers offer one or the other or both.
Here are a few I own, but I need to update the pic.
Asking Avengers are in the first two columns. An original #1 Professional is the first holster in column four.
