Hi everyone. I would like to ask for some help with a Lou Alessi CQC-S Holster I ordered last year and received it in October 2012. I called in the order for my SIG P250C .45ACP 2ng Gen (with Rail). When I finally received the holster after a 12 week wait, they made it for the 1st Gen P250C (without the rail). After several email communications and phone calls, they asked me to send it back at my expense (which I am still pissed about) so they could correct the problem. After waiting a few more weeks they send me the holster back. I put my gun in the holster and it fit, but very tightly. I know that leather needs to be broken in so I wore the holster with the gun for several days unloaded.
When I tried to remove the gun from the holster, it was nearly impossible. You could literally pick me up off the floor with the gun holstered. I called the shop (Alessi) and they told me to put a few baggies around the gun and insert it into the holster. I did that for a few days with no success. They keep claiming that the holster is correct, but here I am in April of 2013 and I cannot use the holster. I have tried everything I know of and I own a few leather holsters and have never had this problem.
I am not sure if this is a good comparison, but I own a Bladetech OWB Eclipse Holster and you can see a difference in the dimensions of the Alessi and the Bladetech. Again I know leather is a much tighter fit.
Any advice is really appreciated. Is there anything I am missing?
This is my first experience with Alessi and my last.
