Who do you think makes the best leather holsters?
This is not about what is best for a specific gun. This asks, which manufacture of leather holsters do you think are the best and last the longest?
For me it’s been Galco.
I have a Galco pancake holster for a Charter arms Bulldog that’s going on 30 years of age. It was a daily carry gun/holster for over 20 years. The holster looks like it’s been dragged behind a car for several miles but the strength of the holster still holds the gun well without straps.
This goes the same for a shoulder rig for a 1911 that is over 25 years of age.
At the same time which manufactures do you think are crap.
Thanks for your input.
