content: I now own 3 of these Hunter made holsters. The 1090-50 crossdraw "only" fits Colt clones with barrels up to 7 1/2". The 1090-40 "two way, crossdraw or strong side use," fits Colt clones with barrels up to 6". I like a crossdraw that hangs more horizontal than vertical, the 1090-40 does that more so than the 1090-50. Also, the 1090-50 has a closed end while the 1090-40 has an open end. Very basic unlined but useful, to me, holsters.
