  • hey I like all leather holsters

  • @GunWebsites Though, you can buy leather from a craft shop and build a pretty sturdy holster for any handgun. Its good to save for a rainy day

  • I was reading reviews that compared nylon and leather. I'm not a big fan of leather. It eventually wears out faster than nylon, it's more expensive and it just isn't comfortable for me. I went out and purchased 2 iwb holsters, one was nylon and the other wasn't. The nylon is by far more comfortable and concealed my firearm 10x better than my other holster and the leather holster I tried. I don't know why people are spending over 30 and 40 bucks on holsters. I'm beyond satisfied with mine.

  • You should never use a holster that wasn’t specifically molded for the carried weapon. A universal holster is fine to use within the range of intended use but a holster that is molded to carry a certain weapon should never be used to carry a different platformed weapon. Just my 2 cents.

  • how long would you say a leather holster will last with daily use. maybe 4 draws per day

  • Also, just something to think about; I use kydex as well as leather, and have had 3 different reputable kydex holsters crack on me (1 at the sight track and 2 at the belt attachment) two of which cracked during IDPA matches. Luckily it happened in places that weren't too embarrassing or inconvenient. Not trying to bash kydex, but my CCW will always ride in leather.

  • I understand you are trying to do an "unbiased" review,but quite frankly, the holsters you've showcased here are pure crap. No QUALITY leather holster will become a mushy flapjack like the holsters you've shown, unless they are abused (including being drenched with oil). I understand you might be a fan of kydex. I think kydex has it's uses as well as it's limitations, but to do a fair representation of quality leather, you really need to upgrade.

  • @stealinator Have you ever seen one made this way? I think your asking about a holster on Small of Back that is right side up rather than upside down.

  • Would you recommend the m1916 holster?

  • I have a Taurus .357 Magnum 7-shot revolver, 2" barrel. I need a belt holster, outside the belt. Any suggestions?
