Well, they intentionally form their belt slots that way. As a result, my Scabbard doesn't fit as close to my side as I would like or that I think it would if they left them flat. I called and told them I was unhappy and although they were nice about it, they would NOT except a return or an exchange. They were polite and did offer to look at the holster to see if it was defective and if it was, then they would take it back but I didn't sent it to them because it was obvious this is how they make it.

If they let the belt slots be totally flat like you'd imagine they would be, then it would probably make it necessary to break in the holster at first but I believe it would make the weapon be actually tight to the side that way.

I was quite disappointed on a $118.00 holster that they weren't more willing to ensure my satisfaction. I suspect that very few others have the same complaint but I would think they'd hear it alot. If you look real close on their web site you can almost see what I mean but not quite.

I wouldn't buy from them again unless I could be more sure of my satisfaction before I bought. Now if I'd made a big stink I might have gotten them to take it back but I won't do that and, again, the lady I dealt with was polite but very firm in her position. So just consider it before you buy.

It makes me sick that I have such a nice holster that is absolutely perfect in every way except this. I'm going to sell it when I get a chance.
God Bless
