I can't give the holster a "5" only because I don't have many others to which I can make a comparison. I'm impressed with the quality and the holster broke in quite nicely, very easily. I like the brass hardware over the steel of more "modern" holsters.

Outstanding holster. Leather is in excellent health, and it fit my 1911 like a glove.
However, as I already have this holster in dyed brown rather than natural, I bought the holster to carry an M9 (or Baretta 92 FS). I removed the spacer from inside the holster (the stiching is excellent, and the spacer turned out to be a well formed wooden shank. Very nice) and the holster broke in exceptionally well for the Baretta.
This is an absolutely great buy. I have bought two other holsters of the same type and this is by far the best.
