Does anyone have any experience with Kirkpatrick Leather products? I'm in the market for a Bruce Nelson style holster for my 1911s. I've been using a Blade Tech paddle and have been very happy with it, but feel like I need something that is more in line with the new IDPA holster crieria. Kirkpatrick calls their holster the Texas Strong Side, it looks like it'll fit the bill.

I've had a TSS for almost 5 years carrying my Kimber ProCDP. No complaints at all. The holster has worn well, kept it's shape, and without a thumb break, retains the pistol as it did when new. Quality and workmanship are both present. My wife makes no secret of the fact that I'm hard to please, but I'm pleased with the TSS.

I have two of their rigs. They are both however, western setups. As far as quality though, they are both top notch.
