Cheap chrome tanned leather will stretch and get floppy. If you saw the pics of the gun rig I posted the edges of the holsters folded in and flopped. It took both hands to holster the guns. It also stretched as you can see the muzzle of the pistol poking thru the bottom. That made it a very tight fit and you either had to use both hands to draw the pistols or use leg ties. If you're just going to use them now and then you can get by with cheap leather as long as you don't oil it. Oiling hastens its demise. I have a couple of slim jims from Cabela's and they're still firm but I never use them. If you're going to use it a lot get good leather to start with.
