I just got mine today and am quite satisfied with it. This thing is ridiculously sturdy. The leather is thick and the sheath is bulky but it is surprisingly comfortable to wear despite its size. My large 21 fits perfectly with clip and lanyard. I have never handled the newer style sheath, but I went with the older one because of the larger belt loop. It also simply looks tougher and I wanted one that will survive a year in Afghanistan. For anyone looking for these I would definitely recommend it. Pictures coming soon
