Freighttain; I have severl holsters from Andrews. First He's a true gentleman and a great guy to do business with. I have one of his OWB for my 1911 and it's an outstanding field/range holster.
Then I purchased his MacDaniels and I have a word of caution for you. I purchased mine for a j frame (airweight). I've noticed two things, first, the lip is heavily reinforced and that feature means you can reholster one handed but it makes it very noticeably thicker.
Secondly, since there is only one anchor point, the gun wants to slip down and pull on the belt. Don't get me wrong, it's a great holster and perfectly made and would work well if your belt is below the reinforcing band BUT, if I had to do all over again, I'd recommend and IWB with 2 anchor points, one on each side of the weapon. I'm also convinced that for personal CCW, you don't need one handed reholstering and that it's better to have the whole package being thinner. Even 1/4" makes some difference.
What gun are you going to be using it for? I do think this holster will actually work better with a larger weapon like a 1911 where your belt is actually holding the weapon and the one anchor point is just for added security, not really to hold the weapon up so to speak.
For a great price, good service, etc. I would recommend you consider one of the IWB holsters from K&D Holsters. He makes an IWB that looks very thin and you can get it with the kydes clips or regular straps. The price is good and his customer service is OUTSTANDING.
I recently purchased an OWB holster with shark skin with snaps and after receiving it, I found out I didn't prefer the snaps becasue of how they worked with my suit coat, etc...anyway, I wrote him and asked if he'd swap it for the same holster but with belt slots, he didn't even hesitate but immediately said to send back the first one and he'd happily swap it!!!!
I'm impressed with that level of customer service. I also bought a pocket defender holster from him for my P3AT and it's also excellent.
Andrews makes great holsters and you won't have to worry about the sweat with his rigs and I'll buy from him again but still think the two anchor points is actually more important than I used to think unless, as I said, it's a big 1911 where the belts is holding the weapon.
Hope this helps a bit.
God Bless
