Some belts and holsters showed up on my door last month.
Here's some pics and comments.

The VMll is a very good looking holster and just looks high quality.
It will also hold the gun if you turn it upside down.
I have also timed the draw with this holster and it is a little quicker than the Andrews Leather McDaniel ll which I have been using for almost two years. The McDaniel ll rides a little lower and seems to grip the gun a little tighter,{but will not hold the gun when turned upside down} while with the VMll the gun kinda "pops out" once it releases the gun.
I really haven't got the chance to try the N frame holster out, but was a little dissapointed with the way the revolver fits in it. The holster is not fitted to the gun, as in molded the way most good holsters are. The fit is not loose, but it is not tight either, which is what you would probably want in a new holster.
The 13/4" belt was not as heavy and stiff as I was expecting. It's ok but I was hoping it for it to be a little heavier. On the Sparks website it says the 13/4" belt is only available with tapered ends, I was happy mine showed up full width.
The 11/4" belt seems perfect, I don't know why but it is stiffer and tougher feeling than the larger belt. Now that I have it, I think I could of ordered a 11/2" though.Patrick
