Does Todd's Costumes make a good holster?

Hello!
I'm looking to purchase a Raiders-style holster and the option best for my budget seems to be Todd's Costumes. I was wondering if there's anyone who has experience with these holsters. I've also looked at the What Price Glory holster, and would be interested to know people's experiences with that holster as well.

Great to know! I'd not seen any online reviews or videos of any Todd's holsters, so the info is very much appreciated!!

I have one as well. No complaints here either.

I have the WPG holster. It's well made and it takes distressing and wet molding like a champ. Be advised, however, that it's very orange in color. I tried a few different methods to darken it before finally applying a mix of leather paint to mine and distressing it over again. Sounds sloppy, but the end result came out better than I expected, which I believe is a testament to the holster's solid construction/quality material.

This is when my Todd's holster was new in 2009. It can come across as a bit orange compared to the browns/tans of the rest of the gear. Since this picture I have wet formed it and distressed it some.

Thanks for the reply! Glad to know the WPG holster is a nice well made option as well. I got a gun belt from WPG, and it was quite orange as well. Luckily, I’ve been able to darken it and it looks better now.

Thanks for the picture! That holster looks great, good to see it in the real world rather than just the product images on the website.
