I am very impressed with this holster. Yes, a bit of wet forming is required to get a good fit for my Colt New Service but apart from that this is a really fine copy of the M1909 Holster. My only suggestion would be to stitch the holster with a tan or light brown thread as were originals of the period.

Most prompt, beautiful work, fits well. Once treated with pure needsfoot oil, it actually appears original.

Heavy Duty 9-10 ounce leather, very strong construction, top notch all the way!

Quality reproduction. I received my holster and took it straight to the sink and filled it with hot water and ran water until the leather was soft, dried it with a towel, and wrapped my 1909 Colt in a plastic bag and forced it in the holster. when the leather dried out the revolver fits perfect. The leather is now taking on a very nice russet tone. I have bought several WPG reproduction leather products, and have never been disappointed,

My review of this product may vary somewhat from the experiences shared by others. I purchased this holster from WPG the same day that I also purchased one of their M1916 holsters. Both were received within about a week of placing my order, which was great and impressive considering they were shipped from the Middle East. Of the two holsters, the 1916 holster is the better product. Unlike some customers here, I found that the M1917 S&W revolver fit better in the WPG 1917 holster than the Colt. I did not soak the holster, but instead applied a coat of neetsfoot oil and a small amount of olive oil (to darken) and after about a day of the pistol being in the holster I find it fits just fine. The biggest issue I find with both of the holsters is the type of leather used by the manufacturer. While very thick, it does appear to have been finished and comes with an odd sort of pebbling texture (like finished upholstery). The holster, when received, was rather pink, as opposed to un-dyed. This is where the olive oil comes in handy. If evenly applied, olive oil is a good substance for darkening or browning up a holster like this. The neetsfoot oil would simply not accomplish that on it's own. Examining the two holsters I got from WPG side-by-side, the 1916 holster turned out better and required less work. Still, for the price, this is a decent holster.

Needs to be stretched a bit for my 1909 colt but will be a good form fit after soaking.

Thick leather makes for a very super authentic looking 1909 holster. Is a very tight fit for a 1917 S&W pistol, but I would guess a brand new original would be also! Great job WPG.

Quality leather makes this a great reproduction of the US Army holster for Model 1909 Colt New Service Revolver (45 Long Colt). Fits the 5 1/2 inch barreled revolver perfectly.

Great doing business with them!

Holster is a good reproduction, seems well made, found it to be a little tight and needed fitting. I would buy again.

Dead-on reproduction, excellently made. Fit my Colt M1909 like a glove. Good job, guys!

A side by side comparison of WPG''s M1909 holster and an original shows WPG has taken steps to produce an very good reproduction. The only problem is the holster is too small for the intended revolvers. When I first got the holster putting the revolver in it was like trying to put 10 pounds of stuff into a two pound bag. You need to "wet" the holster and stretch it so the revolver will fit the holster properly. With the techincal information on this holster out there (I got it you you want it) an EXACT M1909 holster CAN be made and should be made!

Mike - USA

This piece of equipment is the best! I have two other versions made by other reputable companies and this is absolutely the tops of all three!

Compares spot on with an original! Best reproduction of this holster out there.

The holster is very well made and I am very happy with this purchase. A good oiling darkened the leather. Can't wait until my 1917 Colt arrives and finds a home in this fantastic holster. Thanks WPG!
