This Holster was designed for the official service pistol of Rhodesia and South Africa — the 9mm Star Model BM. Unlike modern Kydex holsters, this stiff canvas holster fits more than that now-niche Spanish pistol. Even in Rhodesia it was sometimes used for Browning Hi-Powers (photo #3), M1911s, CZ-75s, as well as captured Makarovs, and Tokarevs. As you can see in the photos, goofy or not, it even fits a M&P shield (rough use such as jumping around is probably not recommended for subcompact pistols due to possible retention problems). With the appropriate pistols, this holster is just as safe as other level one canvas or leather holsters. The canvas above the trigger housing is even double thick for extra trigger security.
