What separates the best holster craftsman from the rest?

[BabaBlueJay]

sadly or fortunately my late father did custom leatherwork... I prefer those that he made for me, or that came with his gun that I inherited... I do own "name brand makers" for things that I have accumulated since he passed, but his are my favorites... everything he made was fitted to the gun & the person... something name brands can't do...

Your father sounds like an amazing guy. I am sure he is proud of you and is still watching out for you every time you carry his holsters. That is an incredible legacy, and I could not agree more with those being the very best for you.

What separates the best leather holster craftsmen? Tall, slender, excellent taste, irresistible to women, and a truly outstanding sense of humor. The rest just seems to come naturally.

Andrews, Grizzle, Sparks, Ritchie. Leather gear that will last for generations. Kirkpatrick, Palmetto…quickly approaching the excellence of the aforementioned makers.
Funny…people will spend big, big money for grips, optics, gizmos? And all kind of other jetsam for their sidearms, yet are so often willing to cut corners on the one item that keeps it secure and ready for use in a bad situation. Go figure…..
I refuse to compromise on my choice of holsters. All are bespoke and fitted to only the firearm it is meant to carry.

Still working on that. It is on the schedule right after humility and modesty. I may get there eventually.

I'll say it again because it seems all have missed the point of my post: replies posted are focusing on brand because you have to -- until you KNOW what separates a great design, elegantly styled, sturdily constructed.

These days it depends on which designer of old they copied! All innovation in gunleather ceased in 1985. What we have today is workmanship only .
