one handed reholstering has not been a problem for me using the nm holsters ( I actually own 3). Granted, I would not advise wearing the holster for extended periods minus the gun. It might cause the mouth to collapse some. However, there is also a trade off of sorts. Reinforced mouth with additional layer of metal or plastic plus leather / trim = thicker for IWB carry. I don't need anything that adds even the slightest amount of extra girth. When I ordered the wait was 24 weeks. Obviously well past that now. IF I had known about the wait factor and lack of customer service I would have ordered the Milt Sparks VM II. To wait over a year for a carry holster at this price point? Naw. Maybe a specialty rig with customized carving or unique custom design.

I ordered a Brigade M-11 in March. Still nothing. I ordered a #1 for a 1911 Commander from nm-holsters.com and got it in about 2 1/2 weeks. I'm very happy with the nm#1. Made in Texas and very comfy. I haven't cancelled the Brigade order because I want to see for myself if waiting over 9 months (and still waiting) is really worth the wait. I'm not real happy with the lack of communication or any type of periodic email update on order progress. I don't care how "nice" (or not) the Brigade ends up being, I will never order anything else from them. As a side note: I have 2 friends that ordered VM II's from Milt Sparks and got them in about 5+ months. Hind sight is 20/20.
