At this point, this holster has a failing grade and is going to need to be returned. I contacted Cherries and explained the issue and showed them these images. They believe the error is an isolated issue - meaning they somehow made my one holster without regard to the extractor, but all other G43 Medina holsters have been made properly to account for it... The offered to replace it if I pay to send it back to them. No offer of a freight prepaid call tag...
I mulled it over for a week trying to decide if I wanted a replacement or a refund. I fit the holster on my person to get an idea of how it wore. One thing I noticed is that it felt bulky, which is should not with such a small gun. At the widest point, my gun measures 1.02". The width of this holster measures in at 1.84"! Nothing like adding an inch to the width of your carry piece...! This is due to two reasons. 1) They mold in a raised area for the hardware to attach the clip. And being an ambidextrous holster, this raised area is on the front and back of the holster. These combined add ~ .500-.600" to the holster's overall thickness. If they could figure out a 'slimmer' way to attached the clip and/or ditch the idea of making it ambidextrous, it would really slim down the design and make this a more comfortable holster. And 2), They use rubber spacers between the clip and the holster body. This again, adds thickness and simulates bulkiness. I assume the reason for these spacers is to make reholstering easier. Nevertheless, it comes at some expense to comfortability.
