=========
What size did you order and why did you pick that size ?

I think we have two considerations with holster fitment...
Stiffness rigidity and shape, and overall size.

I have some soft leather holsters that really serve more as
a pouch than a specifically boned and formed holster. These
holsters basically fit all my medium and full sized guns. It
is just that some of the guns fit deeper into them.

As regards highly formed leather and plastic or kydex holsters
for instance, shape very much matters.

I have a precision molded plastic holster for
1911 Govt models that when I try to slide my 4506 into,
only the barrel will insert. The trigger guard on 4506 and
1006 pistols are much wider than 1911 Govt models and
the trigger guards will prevent any further insertion.
