they were in germany last night after a long two day drive in fed ex truck from the other side of austria 
showed up this afternoon and now doing the stretch mode
the xd holster is snug and fit really good right out of the box, it wont take much to break in
the 1911 holster is tight on the safety strap, but after a few minutes i worked it loose enough to fasten, letting it sit for 24 hrs as well
i was unsure if it had to be holstered with the hammer back ...yes it does , i need to stretch it a bit around the safety 
they are very nicely made 
not as dark and shiny as my vega, but they will tarnish a bit soon enough
they smell like cow to
