Sevenshot 98 Posted October 29, 2019 You can try etsy. Leather is one of those get what you pay for kind of deals. You can get good or get cheap or get extremely lucky (Black Friday maybe). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lakota 342 Posted October 29, 2019 Tandy leather if your not sure exactly what you need and need to experiment. Ebay has a few good sources for leather too .. but you need to know exactly what your looking for, type, oz, etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s just wrong Some of them I do - and there is no more finish wear (maybe less) than in a leather holster. Kydex for competition - which means those guns see hundreds of draw & reholster cycles, with negligible wear. I recently had a holster made that is the best of both worlds - leather lined Kydex. Tried this once with an AA holster and it sucked - leather in that one was suede and it hung onto the gun. Major tug to dislodge. Recently got a Garrett Industries holster with a smooth leather lining. Easy draw and positive reholstering. Not cheap, but good things seldom are. https://www.giholsters.com/ Adios, Pizza Bob 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are still reasonably priced. My favorite is the Speed Scabbard without the thumb break. A good leather holster will last your lifetime with minimal care.

That's where I got my very comfortable Mitch Rosen Kant-Forward OWB holster I wore all weekend when we worked together at the Rod of Iron Freedom Festival. That Officer's .45 ACP just molded right to my strong side ~R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
