Contact Snubbyfan here on the Forum. I hear he makes good reasonable holsters one at a time.

The absolute best holster, belt and ammo dump pouch I've ever had is the one made with Horsehide from Kramer Leather. Light, stiff, strong and tough. The rig below is around 12 years old now and other than a yearly coating of Kiwi Shoe Polish, I've done nothing to it. It gets worn about 2 -3 times a week for at least 8 hours or so - it's not a babied rig. The fact that it has NO straps, snaps, velcro, screws, etc. and still retains the gun perfectly while allowing an easy draw is of the utmost importance and it works as good today as when I received it. If you are serious about EDC - CCW you owe it to your self to look at their website.

Initially it seemed a little expensive, HOWEVER...... I've NEVER had a Rig last this long, work so well and look this good, sooooo I am going to say in retrospect it was actually a BARGAIN! Remember, EVERY piece that you get from them is CUSTOM MADE!

I believe the Holster was just over $100, the belt maybe about $120 and the dump pouch about $45 so the entire rig was around $265 12 years ago. I believe his prices have gone up slightly over the last 12 years but not substantially. So was that too much to spend on a rig that has performed perfectly for 12 years and will more than likely last me the rest of my life? Truthfully, I think it was a TRUE BARGAIN!

Back in the day when I was buying store brand Cowhide holsters and belts I went through them at the rate of a few per year looking for something that performed well and held up - I just kept looking and looking until I found Kramer's Horsehide. To me (and others who carry every day) Horsehide is the best thing since sliced bread. Cowhide belts start to get floppy and soft when worn for 8 hours a day, every day but the double thick Horsehide is as stiff as ever and this whole rig just wears like iron!

When I buy a holster to wear strictly at the Range as a convenient place to stick the gun when not in my hand, any old "el cheapo" piece of leather will do. When I want a rig for serious every day carry, perfect retention and without all the gimmicks, I would look no further than Kramer! If tomorrow I was to choose a different EDC-CCW I'd be on the phone again with Kramer in a heartbeat.

PS: I have absolutely NO affiliation with him or his Company and do not see one red cent from him so I am only passing this along strictly because it is the BEST I've ever had - period. I'm sure there are other Makers out there producing similar and excellent product lines, however I have never found any personally and after finding Kramer I stopped looking
