Letter Re: Holster Recommendations
Hi Jim:
I plan to open carry in my new county here in Colorado, and I'm looking
for a vendor that sells attractive leather shooter's belts and nice
leather holsters for M1911s
and Glocks.
Do you have any preferred vendors/manufacturers you can recommend?
I've only ever carried [pistols] on
[military] Load Bearing Equipment (LBE)
so this semi-casual leather belt open carry thing is very new to
me, as
is
the civilian
gun culture
:) - Eric
JWR Replies: We mainly carry Kydex Blade-Tech
brand holsters and mag pouches here at the Rawles
Ranch. And for the most part we use modestly-priced Uncle
Mike's black nylon/velcro
belts.
(they are "Plain Jane", but sturdy and functional.) We do have a couple
of leather holsters made by Milt
Sparks Holsters. Their
belts and holsters
are
highly
recommended.
I've been doing business with them for more than 20 years. They don't
skimp on quality. The Milt Sparks belts and holsters range in style
and price from utilitarian (like the rough-side out "Summer Special")
to some that are downright stylish. (And
priced accordingly.)
