Alessi CQC

Awhile back I was going through my gun stuff and to my surpise I didn't have a really nice leather holster. I had previously had a real nice Alessi/Burns ACP. I had ended up selling it because I didn't care for the angle and where you wore it at. So I got ahold of Lou and we discussed my likes and dislikes about holsters and we decided on the CQC and a belt.
It took awhile to get here but it was well worth the wait. Many of you know Lou and his work so let me just say everything that has been said in the pass is true, 100%. Lou's work is outstanding. I wore the holster around all day yesterday, it was the most comfortable hoslter I have ever had on, I don't remember ever having to adjust it.
Do your self a favor and order one today, everything else will end up in the old holster box!!

Alessi leather is the bomb, and the CQC is a serious holster.

I had a CQC/s, same basic holster but with snaps instead of belt loops. It gave me the easy on/off of a paddle but the concealment of a pancake holster.

Great rigs!

I have a CQC-S for my 1911's, both S and I models for my HK Compact USP's (the I is the only holster that makes IWB with these things tolerable for me), and an I for my HK P7M8's.

The CQC's are wonderful. I have yet to find something more comfortable or versatile. Very good for concealment, a tiny bit slower than my DOJ with my 1911's but a lot easier to conceal.

The DOJ is a wonderful range holster, and very fast.

I like my hard shell Talon for IWB with 5" 1911's, but I need to get a CQC-I for that too.

It bears mentioning that Lou's single mag pouches are just about perfect. His belts are also a work of art.

Luigi's holsters are one of those products you will wait a while for and then forget the wait the first time you put it on.

Beware, I think he puts something addictive in the leather...

With that said I have a second-hand shark and horse Sparks TK60 for the 1911 which is excellent too (though a bit squeaky.).

Alessi's CQC-S is my favorite OWB holster in the world, bar none!
