This leather holster is designed for the 1911 model and is made in the United States. It features a snap retention system and is intended for right-handed shooters. The holster attaches to a belt using the back skirted loop and can be positioned at 3 o'clock.
The darker tan color and neutral cant make it suitable for field and hunting activities. This holster is compatible with Colt 1911 models and all other 1911 pistols without a rail and comes from the Holsters category under Sporting Goods.
Actual holster is shown. 8 ounce thickness American leather, polyester thread. No exposed metal inside. Small natural surface scar on the front just under the loop as shown in the photos. This is a natural barbed wire scar because this leather came from a real cow!
IF PURCHASED NEW, HOLSTERS THAT HAVE BEEN USED, MARKED UP, SWEATED ON, USED AGAINST SKIN, ARE NOW YOURS. NEW ITEMS PURCHASED HAVE TO BE RETURNED UNUSED NEW. Returns cost my family in shipping both ways; please see below and contact me FIRST if there are any issues before initiating the return system; I have the option to deduct heavily from certain returns in certain cases. Please refer to the different sections of this listing BEFORE you purchase to understand how my policies may be different from other sellers. ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE PURCHASE. We are Not responsible for negligence. Most items I sell do not support tall sights or red dot sights. Verify HANDNESS of the holster you are buying. If too many returns or overly picky issues arise, we take that into consideration for future sales with you. If you are testing out various holster shapes and returning them, please do so with a bigger company which can absorb those return costs. I am a one-person store with my family.

Most holsters I sell are molded from the exact model mold which makes errors nonexistent. If you are buying a new or good condition all LEATHER holster from me, it will need breaking in. Different brands require more break in than others. Breaking in a good leather holster is mandatory for it to function; when it is new you may not be able to draw the firearm from it as quickly as you might need it. After you have checked the holster for suitability and broken it in correctly, it will hold the gun securely, protect the gun from inadvertent access, and allow you to get the gun quickly when you need it. There are plenty of articles online for breaking in a leather holster. I get many messages about the thumb snap (if applicable). If applicable, the thumb snap is difficult to get snapped on many holsters when you first get it. You have to work leather. Bottom line, if you get it and it is not fitting the high percentage of time is that you have not seated it fully or worked it fully. One method I enjoy is wrapping the pistol, unloaded, in a plastic wrap or bag and stuffing that into the holster overnight or for a few days.
If you are purchasing a holster, please make sure you have a proper gun belt. All holsters should be worn with a proper gun belt. Also, all holsters should be worn with the belt fully tightened, but not uncomfortable. Never wear your holster loose, sagging pants, or without a proper gun belt.
