A good friend recently purchased a HK45 full sz holster from the Hk Webshop...
This:
http://us.hkwebshop.com/HKWebShop/show/byItemID/10047//105///////////true
He uses it extensively for work now, for at least 2 months. Today, we tried my Blackhawk P30 holster using his full size, which I use for my HK45 Compact. The IMI (or whatever) holster he got from Hk's Webshop did not fit as well as my P30 holster.
As a matter of fact, his HK45 full size fits my P30 holster better than my HK45C would fit my P30 Blackhawk holster. I would say my P30 holster for my HK45C fits about 95%. However, his HK45 full size, fits about 98%. The only thing is, his full size slide stuck out of the holster about 0.5 inches, whereas my compact does not stick out and the muzzle is somewhat recessed.
But...my biggest issue having seen a heavily used gun and holster combo is, that the IMI (or whatever) Hk Webshop holster DOES WEAR on the slide a bit more than my P30 blackhawk holster does. I would say the the webshop holster fits his HK45 f/s about ~83% comparatively. My friend's HK45 f/s primarily wears around the barrel chamber an breach area from the Hk Webshop holster, on both sides of the slide.
The Webshop holster's paddle is NOT as secure (or as LARGE), as the newer designed Blackhawk paddles for their CQC Serpa holsters.
But keep in mind, his HK45 f/s & holster combo, is used extensively. However, my HK45C and P30 holster also sees some useage as well....Operation of both moulded holsters is relatively the same. Material is different, with the Blkhawk being much more durable.
Here's a quick, cell phone pic of both our guns (no holster pics, sorry):
