I lost the letter years ago, and have not seen this pattern of holster since...I don't know if it's because I live in a closet and don't get out much, or the mfg decided to buy the rights to kill the competition with their model...

This is for a Colt Commander; I buy Commander holsters for my Gov't Model/Gold Cups because I like the way the bottom 3/4" of the slide sticks out of the Commander holster...
