At first glance, they are pretty much identical, which is confirmed on closer inspection. They both have the same thickness leather and kydex, and are adjustable for retention, cant, and ride height. Now, the differences. First of all, Old Faithful has a larger selection of kydex colors, as I mentioned previously. But, since these holsters are meant for concealed carry, I don't really give a squirt of piss what color they are. As far as price, the Alien Gear wins. I paid $36.83 for it, while the Old Faithful cost me $51.47, and, it came fully assembled, while the OF was a "quick assemble kit." I had to change out the spacers on the AG, but that was no big deal. The OF came with an extra length of spacer material, so you can make different sized ones if none of the pre cut work for you. As far as shipping, AG wins. I ordered the OF on 6/10, and didn't receive it til 7/5. The AG was ordered on 6/18, and I had it in my mailbox on 6/24. Both companies make a nice holster, but I'm going to give Alien Gear the edge, simply based on price, shipping speed, and the fact that there was no assembly required. The next time I need a hybrid iwb holster, I will be ordering from Alien Gear. Hope this helps.
Edit to add: That is a nice piece of German engineering you picked up, I've been wanting to add an H&K to my collection for a long while now. I checked Alien Gear's website, and it appears they have a holster in stock for your pistol.

Thanks for the review! By the way, you can get Old Faithful for the same price with code "tom" that will give you 20% off. Then the only difference will b the emblem, assembly, and the extra wait
