Chamois lined or plain?
The other question is chamois lined or plain? I wonder if the chamois lining degrades over time, gets stiff or comes loose. I had a bad experience lately when I bought a beautiful old Safariland for my Detective Special, slipped my belt through the loop, put my gun in, and leaned on the butt a little only to have the holster stitching rip completely apart, leaving me holding the gun and holster in my hand while the loop section was still on my belt. It had dry rotted or something. So I'm wary of putting vintage holsters to everyday use.
Anyone have any problems with the chamois lining?
