its all aplication my friend.
In a belt mounted CCW holster i will take leather anyday. Horsehide is nice and i own several hundred dollars worth of horsehide now but time has taught me that cowhide works just fine and is a lot cheaper.
For IWB or tactical uses Kydex has its advantages due to being sweat proof rugged and slick to insert in the pants.
Shoulder holsters are more practical made of leather IMHO.
Camping, hunting and wilderness carry it is hard to beat the much distained ballistic nylon holsters made popular by Uncle Mikes and similar companies. Just be sure they have an opening at the bottom to let out trash and water or have a flap over the top.
