This holster is the Bianchi "Askins Avenger", designed by Bruce Nelson who was a federal narc and a gunsmith and instructor at Cooper's GunSite. I never met him, but having seen the holsters I made, he told a client of mine that I was "the fourth or fifth best holster maker in America".I got this holster from a friend (unfortunately now deceased) who bought it on the mistaken advice of some gunshop clerk. She was trying to use it for her 1911A1, but about half the slide stuck out the bottom. I traded her one of my own high-rides for it, and, as you can see, it really was meant for the H&K.
It also works fairly well with my Kahr K9.
