I had one made LH by Andy's Leather several years ago. Looks to be about as close to the original Milt Sparks as you could get. All of the above statements are true. Andy's Leather no longer lists one either, probably for the same reason. They look cool but beyond that, not the best. Don't wish to ding up my custom 1911 or custom BHP and sure don't wish to drop them on the floor!
