Yeah .. they sure get copied a lot, but none have measured up to their quality IMO. The soft loops seen in my pics are so much slimmer but after a full year, still don't show any belt wear. Doug Holloway from ATEi, put my Trijicon HDs on for me. His shop is only 1/2 hr from my house. He also did the sear and trigger work on my Shield the very day that I bought it .. trigger is now 4lbs.
