I bought a neat little plastic retention holster off of Amazon a year ago for my Sig P365. I ended up really liking it and gave it 5 stars.
When I bought a new Gen 5 Glock G23, I wanted the same holster. I looked up the appropriate model and it said it fit all generations of Glock compact pistols (G19, G23, G32, etc).
I was skeptical since the new Gen 5 G23 has a much thicker slide than the Gen 4 G23 and Gen 5 G19 and asked the seller if they were sure it fit the new wider Gen 5 G23. They assured me it did. I didn't believe them, but, since I also had a Gen 5 G19 that needed another good holster, I ordered it anyway.
It arrived and didn't fit. Not even close. But, it fit my G19 perfectly. I left a review stating that the holster does not fit the new Gen 5 G23, included pics, and stated that the seller is either ignorant or lying about their product.
They sent me an email disputing my assertion, while using terminology that showed them to be ignorant of handguns...
Message from seller Holster Plus:
Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback on this G19 holster.
I'm sorry to see that you're having problem with the holster.
Yes, this holster fit all generations of G19/G23/G32/G45.
As you can see in the holster, there's a block located in the holster of the barrel part which you can put it out.
Have you tried that?
And according to what you said that you reached out to us, I checked the history and there's no record.
Please get in touch with us. We want to take care of it and make it right.
Just response this message if you see it, we hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,

The part they are referring to is in the trigger guard area and the holster comes with a part that adapts it to fit the earlier generation Glocks with different trigger guards.
Whatever. I replied with detailed photos of the differences in slide widths between the the Gen 5 G23 and Gen 5 G19, directed them to the Glock website that lists the slide widths, and asked them to change their description of the holster. I also contacted Amazon and disputed the description of the product.
We'll see what happens.
It's only a $20 holster and not a big deal; it works great for my G19. It just annoys me when people are not only ignorant of firearms and their product, but refuse to acknowledge that they are wrong and double-down on stupid.
Yes, probably too much effort over a stupid holster, but hopefully it prevents other new G23 owners from going through the hassle of ordering and returning a holster that won't work for them.
