I never had the chance to get an original Lobo holster. But I did order one for my new 640. I had heard good things. But the experience was great. Good communication from the company, quick too. Made sure I got exactly what it was I wanted. The fit and finish is fantastic. I really like the coloring (the wife did too!) No need for break in. Fit my 640 perfectly. This is one of the first times I have ordered a holster that's not my normal brand that I actually liked. Good, simple holster for AIWB for my new j frame. I am very, very pleased.
