milq Posted February 12, 2014 at 01:29 AM Posted February 12, 2014 at 01:29 AM I saw this holster maker bragged about over on the CZ forums, but I have no personal experience with the product. The OWB holster on the home page really looks nice though, I am in love with the stamping (I usually dislike frills). http://northstarholsters.com/default.html
Tim4k5 Posted March 5, 2014 at 06:59 PM Posted March 5, 2014 at 06:59 PM (edited) If you are looking for something more towards the exotic leather side of things I highly recommend Rob Biancheri at www.Biancheriusa.com Rob is a great guy to deal with and his turnaround on a complete custom build is measured in weeks, not months. Workmanship and materials are top notch. I absolutely love the set he made for me in cognac safari elephant and black stingray!http://i58.tinypic.com/v7w8lx.jpg Edited March 5, 2014 at 07:01 PM by Tim4k5
Pecker Posted March 10, 2014 at 08:13 PM Posted March 10, 2014 at 08:13 PM If you scroll way down to the bottom of the list you'll see Zlogonje of Cleveland, OH. The owner Dan, is one of my best friends I've made out in Ohio since I've moved from Illinois. He does amazing work and while I'm more partial to kydex holsters, some of his designs are absolutely beautiful and top notch work. He made me the best belt I've ever owned (Double layer cowhide, double stitched.)
shikahgho Posted April 1, 2014 at 10:11 PM Posted April 1, 2014 at 10:11 PM I've recently purchased a universal IWB/SOB holster. Perfect for my 9mm. Not really familiar on how I should wear it. But I've been trying different ways to wear it. I'm new to carrying.
gstrom99 Posted April 16, 2014 at 07:56 PM Posted April 16, 2014 at 07:56 PM (edited) I didn't see Alien Gear Holsters on your list. They are a Kydex/leather hybrid. I just bought two, one for a SR9c and one for a Shield 9mm. 3 week delivery, black/natural leather and belt loop options: http://aliengearholsters.com/ Real nice and a good value!

SiliconSorcerer Posted April 17, 2014 at 09:10 PM Posted April 17, 2014 at 09:10 PM I just found this one, looks kind of interesting because of the allowed depth of the shirt "tuck" is that however good or bad or both? CTAC Holster (there's more there)http://www.comp-tac.com/

EDC Posted January 26, 2015 at 12:04 AM Posted January 26, 2015 at 12:04 AM (edited) Could we please have Black Center Tactical added to the list? I have been very happy with two holsters and one carrier he built for me. I do not know this veteran personally and I do not gain anything by giving him a big plug. I just think that good work deserves recognition. Like many here I have bought and tried many holsters and I will be glad to give my personal reasons to anyone interested as to why both my IWB and OWB holsters from Black Center have become my favorites.CheersEDC Black Center TacticalOwner: Johnny Bonnet (Ret.

Chief Illiniwek Posted December 28, 2016 at 02:09 PM Posted December 28, 2016 at 02:09 PM Here's another holster maker to check out: http://www.jrcholsters.com/index.php I ran across Jim on another forum, took a look at his web site and ended up ordering a holster. All of his holsters are horsehide. Since they're all made to order, you can discuss what you would like with him and he'll make it (within reason) the way you want it.
DoYouFeelLucky Posted December 28, 2016 at 04:09 PM Posted December 28, 2016 at 04:09 PM Please add Cover 6 Gear http://coversixgear.com/ One of my favorite IWB holsters.
Jeckler Posted May 11, 2017 at 08:08 PM Posted May 11, 2017 at 08:08 PM I'm looking for suggestions and recommendations in/around the Chicago area. I installed suppressor height sights onto my XDm and my current holsters no longer fit. Would like to find someone "local" who can custom mold kydex to accommodate my new set up.

cbunt32 Posted May 12, 2017 at 02:43 AM Posted May 12, 2017 at 02:43 AM Not sure where you are located. Black Rhino Concealment in Gilberts could probably get you what you need.
Beard Posted July 6, 2018 at 11:56 AM Posted July 6, 2018 at 11:56 AM I'd like to add Craft Holsters - https://www.craftholsters.com/custom made leather holsters & gear.
luckydawg13 Posted July 6, 2018 at 12:10 PM Posted July 6, 2018 at 12:10 PM I would like to add http://www.ttgunleather.com/
Trevis Posted July 7, 2018 at 04:36 AM Posted July 7, 2018 at 04:36 AM Just got a full kydex single clip holster that I really like from We The People holsters. Definitely one for the list.
fxdpntc Posted July 7, 2018 at 01:19 PM Posted July 7, 2018 at 01:19 PM https://tuckergunleather.com/ Pricey but good quality. Tough thick leather. There is break in period. I went with the leather lined holster. Fits my Kahr P9 like a glove with good retention.
scodag77 Posted June 16, 2023 at 12:08 AM Posted June 16, 2023 at 12:08 AM Thanks for the information!
soundguy Posted June 16, 2023 at 01:10 PM Posted June 16, 2023 at 01:10 PM We each have our favorites. I am quite happy with several leather holsters from Privateer Leather. I have IWB and OWB holsters for the Browning High Power and Sig P238. Each is made to order at reasonable prices, with many options available, and should last a lifetime. Top notch work and Wes is great to deal with. https://www.privateerleather.com/ Cheers, Tim
Yeti Posted June 16, 2023 at 01:41 PM Posted June 16, 2023 at 01:41 PM I have no experience or tie to this but thought it was a good idea when a Chicago-area suburban gun shop also began to offer custom kydex: https://www.maxonshooters.com/services/maxon-custom-kydex-holsters Maxon claims a quick turnaround as well but again, I have not purchased there.
thepointbeing Posted June 16, 2023 at 05:01 PM Posted June 16, 2023 at 05:01 PM Terrific spreadsheet, thanks! Recommended addition ... M&W Leather https://mandwleather.com/ tel. 910.590.8315 mandwleather@gmail.com 188 Jim Sauls Rd., Warsaw, NC 28398 Small shop. Excellent custom leather holsters (w/ pigskin lining available), including for less common gun makes/models. Beautiful craftsmanship. Turnaround time usually 3-4 weeks. Very good service and value.
thepointbeing Posted June 17, 2023 at 08:01 PM Posted June 17, 2023 at 08:01 PM (edited) Masc Holster https://www.mascholster.com/ makes surprisingly good leather holsters. Their shoulder rigs are every bit as good as Galco's, at about half the price. Turnaround time is usually about one week. You can order thru eBay or Amazon. Masc is made in Turkey but they use supple, strong Italian leather. They offer a very wide selection of OWB, IWB, shoulder, and ankle holsters for a wide variety of handgun makes/models. Free shipping too. Edited June 17, 2023 at 08:04 PM by thepointbeing
SiliconSorcerer Posted August 5, 2023 at 12:29 PM Posted August 5, 2023 at 12:29 PM Should add Azula https://azulagunholsters.com/ I have the seated crossdraw perfect for what I wanted.

bladesandbezels Posted June 18, 2024 at 03:06 PM Posted June 18, 2024 at 03:06 PM Wondering if you all know of a shop specializing in revolver holsters?
