Default Azula Holsters and M&P45 2.0

I purchased an Azula holster for an M&P45 2.0 recently, but received a holster for what I believe is a Springfield XDM, from the stamp. The the barrel extends past the leather, although the leather imprint showed it should cover the pistol it was made for. The pistol fits, but I expected it to fit much tighter.

I sent multiple emails to the company and left a voicemail message over the past couple of weeks, but haven’t heard anything back.

Has anyone purchased a M&P45 2.0 holster from them and received a correctly fitted holster?

TIA

I ordered a pancake holster from them for a CZ83, but have not received it yet. My first time with Azula, so I'll anxiously be waiting to see if it fits or not. It has only been three days since I ordered and it shipped.

I looked at Azula on their website, but was turned off by several negative comments found on other sites. Most negatives were based on very poor customer service (no response, or irrelative response). Quality seemed to be hit or miss for some guns and South African manufacture doesn't fit with returns.

I am still interested but I'm waiting for 1 vendor to contact me as I want to know why the long delivery, and my guess is nothing in stock so the vendor orders from South Africa once you order, then we all wait...

I'm thinking another few days and I'll pop for Galco (always good luck for me) or Bianchi (haven't owned a new one .. made in Mexico nowdays).

Not really bashing Azula...………….yet.

Not relevant to the M&P, but I have an Azula pocket holster for the J frame; good quality and fits perfectly. I would recc that particular holster to anybody.

I have an OWB pancake for both my K frame and J frame smiths.

My larger holster was purchased new, and my experience was decidedly different than above. The day after I ordered a fella from North Carolina (as i recall) called me from their warehouse to ensure he was sending the right holster. It got shipped that day. Was incredibly impressed with that.

The owner of Azula lives in Charlotte, NC, and does a lot of gun shows.
He's a decent guy, originally from S. Africa, and has the holsters made there. (crsides and I had tables adjoining his for a few years at the Greensboro show.)
He sells mostly magazines at the shows; always has a big end cap display.

Hopefully I'll hear back soon and find resolution. Thanks for the responses/updates. As far as the holster itself. It's a decent holster and for the price a good deal, in my opinion. Just not a fit LOL.

I ordered from them 4/25 and got a reply my holster shipped, by USPS, on 4/27. It was sitting in Indian Trails, NC on 4/27 pending waiting for processing. It is still sitting there! I emailed them last week, but still have no answer. Might be good people, a great holster, but this is my first, if I ever receive it, and last. There is no excuse for poor service and communication.
