I use that holster for my Stock 2 and love it. I second ordering directly from DA. You really need to make sure you pass the 50mm rule with it though. You need to adjust it properly otherwise gun will be past legal distance from body.

Yeah that's an awesome idea. As much as possible everyone should order directly from the manufacturer and international distributors. That way we will ensure that we will eventually have no dealers in Canada. Simpler that way.
I order most of my gear from Murray but I have dealt with many of the fine people who are listed across the top of this page; who also happen to sponsor many of the shooting events held across Canada.
But, that's just me.......

If you want something specific and no retailer has it what's wrong with buying directly from the manufacturer?

Nothing. If no one has it in stock then that makes perfect sense.
I always check with all the dealers who handle the brand or product I am looking for before I buy from non-Canadian sources.
I support those who support Us.

I've had this holster since the summer and have used it for IDPA and IPSC. I like that it's quite easy to adjust on the fly. Finger adjustable holster tension is great too. Draws are quick and smooth. I've been using it with the DAA competition double belt and DAA mag pouches. As the holster isn't lined, it has left marks on my cz shadow.
However, as CBABES referred to, the problem with this holster is that the ball mechanism for adjustability takes up a lot of room and pushes the pistol farther from your body. For IPSC, this means that there's very little adjustability, as only one position meets the rule requiring the max distance of handgun from torso of 50mm. Only position that really works is to have the butt of the pistol fully canted in towards body. This kinda defeats the purpose of the adjustability. However, if you're not shooting IPSC, then this is a non-issue.
For IDPA, just have to remove the drop/offset, and mount directly to belt. However, if you're mostly interested in IDPA, then this holster likely isn't ideal as the drop and offset, which facilitates great adjustability, goes to waste.
At the end of the day, I'll probably eventually switch back to the tried & true bladetech DOH.

I was very surprised how much dicking around it took to get the center of my gun 50mm from my body. that being said, I think its the best holster I have ever used. almost unlimited adjustment. the pdr pro is lightyears ahead of the original pdr. it has an awesome hanger too. I ordered mine from DA in nederlands.
I have one and many others so I can have some comparison. Final finish is great, however I would prefer Bladetech for one simple reason. When drawing the pistol from the holster there is to much plastic in a way of a middle finger. I had to remove lots of material to make it comfortable for my draw.
