Source for a new snap replacement on leather holster..?

[Gunsquirrel]

Looking to get a snap replacement on a holster for my model 57..anyone know of a source that does this?

Most snaps can be replaced at a local shoe repair or saddle/tack shop.
Or the simple tool and snaps can be ordered from a source like Tandy Leather.

Hobby Lobby carries snaps.

Shoe Repair , Saddle Shop and try a search on Purse Repair .

I just did a search on Purse Repair and got 10 different Shoe and Leather Repair shops near me .
Also search the term ... Leather Repair .
My Mom had leather purses that needed repair / snaps / fasteners now and then ... the Shoe Repair and Saddle Shop could fix her up ... they could replace snaps and straps if needed !

I didn't think to do a search on the term ... Holster Repair ...
you might get a hit on that term also !

Gunsquirrel,I just went through this a few months back with a 70s vintage holster for a 3 in model 36.I first tried to send the holster back to the original maker after calling them up getting their ok and sending it to them.Unfortunately after they got it they said they were unable to repair it to their standards and sent it back to me.I then brought it to a local shoemaker who had it repaired with a new snap very quickly.The holster was missing some leather around the snap and I think that's why the original maker wouldn't touch it but the shoemaker replaced the snap despite the missing leather and it functions fine.
