IWB
Pancake
  • My IWB holsters are patterned using influences from the Watch 6 holster designed by Tony Kanaley of Milt Sparks and the Alessi version of the same name, as well as the beautiful ISP-LP by Matt Del Fatti. They utilize an offset loop with wings on each side of the pouch to help distribute the weight of the gun evenly across the belt and pull the butt of the gun in tight. This helps prevent sag and makes for a more comfortable and effective holster.

  • The pancake style holsters I make are an interpretation of the original design by Roy Baker. They have a normal 10-15° forward cant, and are cut for 1.5" gun belts as a standard. This is probably the most widely offered holster, and can be used effectively for concealment, as well as range/duty use. The pancake holster is really the de facto standard when it comes to comfort and weapon accessibility.

HEAVY STITCHED

I stitch each and every one of these holsters with premium 45 lb. test, 277 bonded nylon mil-spec thread, in your choice of black, brown or white. The result is a superbly crafted stitch that holds tight and can take a beating. In high-stress areas, I provide a double row of stitching where necessary. All pancake styles are double stitched on both sides when possible.

WET MOLDED

Each holster gets hand-boned during the wet mold process. The lines of the pistol are firmly molded into the leather by hand, resulting in firm retention and good looks. This is a critical step for safety and is what determines how well the holster will function and how long it will do it's job.

MADE TO ORDER AND TO SPEC

I don't make generic "fits most pistols" models. Each holster is designed around the pistol it's meant for and is made to order. You choose the leather color and the thread color. It's all custom. Have a special request? Make a note of it in the 'Notes' field in the order form or contact me direct to see if I can help. Any holster I make that doesn't yet have an owner will appear for sale at the bottom of this page.

PREMIUM MATERIALS

No corner is cut, and that starts with using premium US grown and tanned cowhide from Wickett & Craig and Hermann Oak leather. These tanneries produce the very best leather available which is 100% grown and tanned right here in the USA. You'll feel the difference when you hold your holster in your hands - it's solid, looks great, and is ready for any situation. Each holster is finished inside and out with a water resistant, flexible, gloss acrylic topcoat for protection.

PRICED RIGHT

Most of my holsters start at $65-$70 + $3 shipping (US). Since I'm a custom maker, I can make the holster to your specs. Some alterations or custom features may increase the base price of your holster, which is something that we'll work out before I start cutting leather. I require payment through Paypal, credit card, or Postal money order as soon as your rig is ready to ship; not any time before that.

GUARANTEED

If you don't feel that you got a great deal on a hand-made custom holster, you can return it unused for a full refund, less the price of shipping. I won't send it to you unless I'd use it to protect my family and myself. I stand by my work. In the unlikely event that you would require warranty work due to a defect in my craftsmanship, your gear will be fixed or replaced at no cost.

Testimonials

This is the best holster that I have ever had in my 20 years of law enforcement. Great quality great price. - Mark, Washington DC.

This was my first custom leather holster and I could not be more pleased with the fit, finish and price. - Charles Spradley, Clanton, AL

I wore my holster around the house doing chores just to try it out, and I kept reaching back to confirm my gun was still in the holster because I really didn't notice I was wearing it after a couple minutes. It also rides close enough, that I think it is as concealable as my IWB holster while being significantly more comfortable. - J.C., Reno, NV

Outstanding quality and workmanship and made in the USA .Have had my holster over a year and still looks new and and holds it shape. - Richard P., El Pas, Texas

When I opened the package I just stood in awe. It was much better in hand than the pictures. I would recommend Chris to anyone. - Denny, Omaha, NE

I strongly suggest considering a US Gunleather holster. I have been completely satisfied with mine. It is a very high quality holster; of considerable value in relation to affordability for such a fine product. - KCB, Jackson, MS

I have had my holster and mag pouch, for a Radom P64, for several years now and it is still giving excellent service. US Gunleather get's my recommendation for it's quality, service, turn-around time, and pricing. This is a case where one gets more than they pay for... - Kilogulf59, Wisconsin

Chris is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, a real craftsman, and a pro at what he does. US Gunleather makes a very quality product, and the holsters he has made for me are perfect for their use, very well constructed, and comfortable. As a law enforcement officer, this is very important. - Mike, New York, NY

Can't beat the quality work put into these holsters at any price!! - Leo N., Allen Park, MI

Purchased an IWB for my P-64, retention is great, it's not going anywhere unless I get crazy. It's small, compact, feels good, eventually, once it wears in a bit, don't even feel it. Everything a good holster should be. - A.V., Salina, KS

From product build to delivery it was top notch for the price. I have a few holsters from nearly all the big names and these guys rank right up there but were way better priced. - Jarrett Francis, Rowlett, TX

Chris does superb work. He stands behind his holsters and if any problems arise, he takes the time to satisfy his customers issues. I have purchased several of his high quality handmade holsters and I would recommend his work to friends, family and individuals who need high end holsters. - MSgt (ret) Bruce Pawulak USAF CATM
