Pursuant to the FedGov’s rules regarding product reviews, I should mention that Luke at Craft Holsters sent me a very nice holster to review. I’ll also mention that I had been interested in a nice leather holster for a 1911 and had even contacted another holster company who, after hearing about what I wanted, offered to discuss it with me and build a custom holster for my Dan Wesson 1911 Guardian (which is a Commander size pistol).
I don’t like Kydex holsters as readers know. I like leather and Cordura, and have enough tactical stuff to last a very long time. I needed something nice.
Luke worked with me to select the right one for my pistol, and it’s absolutely beautiful. The leather is exquisite, the stitching precise, it’s a two-cant position holster, and it’s specifically molded to fit the gun. Oh, by the way, I like having a retention strap. I wouldn’t have a holster without a retention device.
Based on what I’ve seen I can highly recommend Craft Holsters. I have a drawer full of mediocre holsters. This one is a keeper. Sort of like a neighbor said to me once concerning jeeps and 4WD trucks. Jeep drivers have 4WD. As a truck owner, you have a “Gentleman’s 4WD.”
This is a “Gentleman’s holster.”
