It use to be a top of the line product when they used natural leather (pre 1990)to make them. Now they make their safarilam platiccrap & most do not hold up very well to everyday use. Where on a natural leather holster, if you scuff it, you can usually touch it up. On the platiccrap, you have a scuff on it for its life. I don't know if their IWB are still made from suede leather or not. I buy Bianchi or any other brands (G&G, Tex Shoemaker,Desantis,Aker) that are made of all natural leather. A good quality natural leather holster will last a lifetime of use. Hope this info helps.
