Looking for good, serviceable gun leather that doesn't cost a mint.

 

Suggestuins?

Kydex

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).

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  

@Mrs. Peel I think still has some of her passed Father’s leather for sale. Pm her

Surely you don’t put those gorgeous revolvers in kydex holsters.  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.

I have DeSantis holsters I've been using since the 80s. 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.

Check out the Dillon catalog.  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
