Here is the Wade Egan KotCS style holster, thirty minutes out of the mail box:

For reference, it is pictured next to a Tony Novak CS jacket, an Adventurebuilt CS, an original MkVII ( H&S 1942 ), a roo hide whip, and Wade's CS weapon rig.
The wet form is fairly well represented in the picture: not quite as deep as some of the old police holsters you may have seen from the sixties through the early eighties, but fairly detailed nonetheless. In the pictures I took, I stuffed the holster with butcher paper ( I have an Indy-esque pistol, but I don't want to spoil the detail of the WG - I ought to have a resin coming...).
The color, etc.. looks quite SA, and the way that the leather is dyed seems to give something of a predistressed look. A bit on the stiff side out of the package, I'll probably get after it with some leather lotion ( Kiwi is my brand ) after the thrill subsides a little. By looking at it, I'd say the leather is not as thick as Jake's, thus, I'd not likely carry a real Webley in it. However, an advantage to this is, when worn as a prop, it's lighter and more comfortable ( read; flexible, and so forgiving on the mid-thigh ). Actually, I'm sure it'd do fine with a real weapon, I'm just imagining, you know, war-time... Suffice it to say, it's not as heavy duty as the old police holsters I mentioned before. Maybe the cows are more high-tech now: lighter, but more dense...
.In any event, a solid addition to the get up, and well crafted ( thick stitching, pattern smoothly cut, nice hardware that's covered behind the flap to protect your "investment"...) Another advantage to the relative thinness will be the reduced break-in period. I like this holster a good deal, and Wade gives as much attention to customer service as he does to details. Thanks!!!

) with a good 9 or so inches of surplus. Every so often I get my toys and check 'em out, and I'm still very satisfied with the stuff Wade made for me. Jake Johnson's holster does look awfully nice. I dunno what I'd do with two, but I'm oddly tempted, none-the-less. Currently, though, I'm anxious to see how the WG kit fills out this holster. I'll put up some more links as soon as I get it.](./images/smilies/Indy_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
I ordered one earlier in the week. Racking my brain!! 
I also echo Tundrarider, Wade is a great guy to boot!
