Anyway, here's the front and back views. The holster is horsehide, and there is a leather reinforcement at the mouth with a full quill ostrich decoration for the struttin' factor. He also personalized it by putting my initials on the back of the holster.

And here's a picture with my ostrich boots.....not a perfect match, but not bad either (ignore the poor composition, I was in a hurry to show off):

Total for the holster and magazine carrier was $135 shipped, and I placed it on June 27, so it took about 6 weeks to get it. He told me 5-8 weeks, so he was on the early side of things. Eric Hopp is a really nice guy and we had a couple of great conversations, both online and by phone. I would highly recommend his products. The gun fit perfectly into the holster. Unfortunately, Eric sent me a right handed magazine carrier. He warned me that it was coming and that it was an accident. I'll be returning it to him and he'll replace it right away with a left handed one, but I included it here so that you all could see the quality of his work. I was VERY impressed, and I would definitely buy from him again.
Hat tip to BritOnTour who turned me on to this supplier and who uses his products also.
