The holster closes a bit when I draw but not completly, it is made from 3 layers of 1000D cordura. It is not to hard to put it back in after drawing. A quick draw is more important than a quick holster, right? I am by no way saying that this is the best thing out there, I have never owned a kydex or leather holster seeing as how I got the gun on saturday. I have heard that cloth holsters are not the way to go, but I just thought it would be good practice to design one and try it out untill I can get something better.
