Nope, Doug, take another look! I was revisiting this post today, just now, and as I re-examined the pic with the holster, I began to wonder why there would be so much extra room inside, below the trigger guard when the gun is in there. Not needed for the pistol's shape/volume--why not more of a trim fit? Then I noticed that the mag pouch on the holster's face sort of dictates the lower, left contour of the holster's edge--and that what needs protection from the inside of the clasp is the mags one would insert!
