buying holster replicas

Hello, I originally ordered one from Numrich that I promptly sent back. No way would the pistol ever fit inside the holster, the same for mags in the pouch. Of course the stock did not fit either, looked to be made of old crate wood. Did get my money back promptly. I then had heard about the CMR holsters being sold in the U.K. and was leary about dealing overseas in case of dissatisfaction. I E-mailed Mr. Roscoe and asked if he could actually test fit the holster and pouch he would send me as well as the stock.. He was very agreeable.. the holster and pouch arrived re-wrapped with ink marks on the wrap "FITTED" with initials. The stock however looked originally wrapped and wouldn't even begin to fit my LP08. I would have sent the stock back if CMR were in CONUS. The leather however was well worth the $99 price . Natural russet finish, well made with a perfect fit. It does have the belt loop and metal tag on the strap that the "EXPERTS" call a PAKI repro benchmark. I would highly recommend this holster, but not the stock if you want it to actually fit your pistol. The stock looks very good however. Best Regards!! JOE
