Never run a bluff with a six-gun. —Bat Masterson
There’s something about a leather gun holster that can’t be matched by any other material. It’s entrenched in our psyches as Americans with its roots in the gunslinger traditions of the old west. Today’s leather gun holsters, like the old time gunslinger holsters, are rugged, strong, durable, and have a great look and feel. The best modern leather gun holsters are handmade using old-time tradition mixed with new world craftsmanship.
The addition of modern hardware adds increased secure retention and comfort without the sacrifice of ready access. Years of design and redesign have resulted in lower-profile leather gun holsters that are especially suited to concealed carry.
For concealed carry, a leather concealed carry holster is often the best choice. Inside the waist leather concealed carry holsters conceal better than outside the waist leather gun holsters, but you may sacrifice some comfort as a tradeoff. Leather concealed carry holsters are more comfortable for deeper concealment than plastic injection molding holsters, but one-handed reholstering may not work with every leather concealed carry holster.
Leather gun holsters come in a variety of styles and finishes, including front and back pocket holsters, open top holsters, quick draw belt holsters, thumb break holsters, leather concealed carry holsters, middle of the back holsters, belt snap holsters, paddle holsters, inside the pants holsters, shoulder holsters, and inside the waist holsters, as well as mag carriers. Each one earns its own character as it ages.
A good leather gun holster can last a lifetime. Sometimes longer. If you doubt the durability of leather holsters, look on eBay: You will see examples of leather gun holsters that are 50 or 100 years old, sometimes more.
A quality leather gun holster will allow you to carry comfortably and safely. And you can’t beat the history.
