I just received my 101 Holster setup. I actually should've received it over 2 weeks ago, but thanks to the amazing employees at Canada Post, I'd never received a notice from the post office to let me know the package was sitting at my local office collecting dust.

First thoughts:

Great construction, the finish is good. Would have been nice to have adjustable tension on both the mag carrier as well as the pistol holster, but it's not a deal breaker.

I got the quad 1911 mag carrier, and one of the pouches is a bit loose. I'll have to heat it up to tighten it.

Also, the holster's curvature is not as tight as I would like. The forward edge of the holster sticks outwards from my hip bone. I'll have to bend that forward edge in a bit more to get a closer hug.

The pistol holster was a perfect fit for my setup (some airsoft pistols are not exact 1:1 spec, which it has to be for fitted kydex). However, once the pistol was locked in to the kydex holster, it was LOCKED IN. TIGHT. I would blame this on the fact that a real Kimber has round edges, whereas airsoft replicas typically have hard machined edges that catch and hold tight. After wrestling with multiple insertions and draws (I could see a lot of material being removed at the forward edge of the ejection port, thus, it's concluded that this is one of the main retention points), it's become much easier to draw. Essentially, the holster just needed a bit of "working in."

Overall, the product was very nice. Worth the money? Hell yes. My order consisted of the quad mag carrier, plus a 101 Holster for a Kimber Warrior with TLR-2 attached. J Tr didn't have a TLR-2 on hand, so I sent him mine, along with an airsoft magazine so that the thermo moulding could be properly fitted to the magazine's extended lips. Once fully formed, he sent everything to me in one box.

Overall, the service and communications was TOP NOTCH. Bar none, I could not hold 101 Holsters in any higher regard. He was there beside me every step of the way, and answered ALL of my emails. I give him SIX THUMBS UP: two for service, and two for product quality, and two for price.
