I'm thinking of buying a Kramer Horsehide, Vertical Scabbard for my 1911, 5in..

I've used this style of holster in the past and I like the versatility and speed of draw.

Again, one holster can't do everything for all stuations or suit all people's needs at all times.

I'm not jumping on any band wagon so to speak, it's just that I puchased a cowhide straight drop holster like Kramer's Vertical scabbared from an excellent holster maker and it's lost a bit of it's tension.

I've been told that the quality of cowhide is not as'good' as it has been in the past, second to cattle being slaughtered earlier in life.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I purchased a 'used' Kramer horsehide, crossdraw and it's stiff and holds the pistol VERY firmly. And thats with one of my dehorned 1911's.

Again, any advice would be helpful.
