Does anyone use this brand of holster? I got a cyber Monday email from them today. Holsters look OK, but also look like they might be made of thin leather, unlike El Paso Saddlery and Boise Leather holsters.

I have one for my Dan Wesson 44 magnum and it is pretty good. I was considering buying another holster from them for other guns.
i can try to measure the thickness of mine if that helps

They seem okay to me. Made in Turkey as I recall. Not American.

I’ve had one for my Glock 21 for a few years and it’s a very well made holster.
OP
Thanks for the answers. I have a Beretta 84 BB coming and was looking for a more inexpensive holster for carry. I'm a revolver guy, but thot it might be fun to carry an auto jammer occasionally.

Meh. I got one a few years ago for my new Colt King Cobra … I wouldn’t call it bad, but it lives permanently in the big ol’ cardboard holster box of misfit toys.

I am looking hard at their nylon variant of their cross draw as a travel holster for a couple of my pistols ...
I have one OWB Craft holster. I do not consider it thin, and it works well with my S&W 5906. IRRC, delivery took 8 weeks.
I actually like a thin - 6-7 ounce leather - holster for inside the waistband carry, because the thinner leather quickly molds itself to me providing a more comfortable carry. I like to carry just in front of my hip bone.
I like the Don Hume H715-M WCS holster for my S&W 3953 and 4053 CCWs. This single clip holster allows me multiple carry position options including cross-draw.
Hume makes holsters for your pistol too. They are located in Oklahoma.

I have three, one for a S&W M&P 22mag with optic cut out, one for a I frame 22/32 Kit gun, and the last a IWB tuckable for a Sig P365. Leather on seems to be as thick as others like El Paso Leather, Bianchi ect Snaps were extremely tight when new. I like the IWB as it has a leather belt loop with snap instead of a very stiff metal clip like others.
All were very tight, I wrapped guns well in some saran wrap then wet the holster and put gun in overnight and they fit nicely now, not too tight.
For the price and quality I would buy from them again.

I have a couple of Craft shoulder holsters. All well-made, well-designed.
I have an IWB holster but it came with only a single belt attachment (metal hook). Turns out, I don't care for it much.
Best holster for the $$$ these days is Bullard Leather. Just a top-tier holster for leather, sewing, etc but for about 1/2 the price of the big boys. Made in TX too. I have about 5-6 of their holsters by now.

I am not aware of Bullard Leather. I will try to look them up and see what they have.
They make your order when it's been placed. So that means they can offer a huge variety in holster designs. I always opted for the Bodyguard model, which has a leather flap between the gun & body when the gun is holstered. I also opted for the lining, makes the gun draw smoother.
These guys deliver above their price point & that's not common these days.

I bought one a few years ago for a 365XL. On the back its stamped "FALCO" hand made for CRAFT HOLSTERS.
I don't know anything more about Craft other than that. Like Bumpus mine is in a cardboard holster box. Maybe some day I'll use it. But I'm pretty old and running out of time. I regularly use a DeSantis for a J frame. Glock 42 and the standard size 365. Yeah I like the DeSantis. Worth the extra cost.
One goes back to my last few years on the job, late '90's. Still good today
