Best Leather Holsters of 2025

“I always hunt for bargains, and I was thrilled to find this Blackhawk holster for just $6, which usually costs around $40-50. It fits multiple guns perfectly, including sizes 18 and 34, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.”

“I stumbled upon this holster at an incredible price, and I was pleasantly surprised. It fits my Springfield Armory Hellcat 9mm perfectly, and I love that I can easily conceal it. I had to replace the leather strap, but overall, it's a great quality product.”

“While I appreciate the craftsmanship of this holster, I encountered some issues. The belt loop wouldn't stay snapped, which was somewhat disappointing. Additionally, the holster rides quite high, which might not suit everyone's concealment needs.”

"I purchased this for my 1911, and the fit is great. It was a bit hard to snap at first, but I think it will loosen up with use. The leather is nice and thick, and it looks fantastic. I may look into more products in the future."

"When I got this for my Gold Cup, I found it needed a little break-in, but it fits perfectly. The thumb break makes it easy to unholster, although re-holstering can be a bit tougher. Overall, it's a good value."

"I bought this for my Rock Island 1911 10 mm after struggling to find a fitting holster. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it fits, with great retention and an easy draw. I would definitely recommend this product!"

"This is the most comfortable holster I have found for my SAR9. As a larger guy, most CCW holsters are painful, but not this one. I appreciate the attractive leather and its simplicity. However, I encountered a problem when carrying it behind my hip; it released the magazine while drawing my EDC. Although I'm disappointed, I feel it might be due to how I wear it."

"I haven't yet used this holster. I originally bought it for a S&W carry gun, but it's way too big for that purpose. It would be great if they offered a smaller size."

"I've tried countless holsters, but this one has stopped my search for a concealed carry option for my protection devices. I have it upside down for my new M&P 30 SuperCarry, and it stays flat and concealed. Thank you for making such a great product!"

"I have been carrying a handgun for 30 years, and this holster is the best I've ever owned. It fits my Springfield Armory Trophy Match perfectly, requiring no break-in time. The leather is thick and provides excellent comfort. At around $50, it's a fantastic deal considering the quality compared to other flimsy options on the market. I can't wait for 1791 to make a holster for my S&W 44 magnum!"

"I ordered this holster for my Commander and it fits like it was custom made. While it did require a little break-in, it's a well-made holster at a great price, under $70! I appreciate that I can reholster with one hand, and the design is very handsome. I’m definitely returning for more 1791 holsters!"

"I’m really impressed with the sturdy construction of this holster. Following the break-in instructions has led to an amazing fit and retention. I believe this is the last holster I’ll ever need to buy!"

"I've used various holsters, but this one is comfortable, effective, and attractive. At just $25, it's a steal! I plan to buy one for each of my 20+ pistols. I recently purchased a more expensive holster, but I prefer this one hands down. The tightening screw ensures a snug fit, and the leather is soft against my body, making it ideal for concealed carry. I highly recommend it!"

"I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to for this holster. I ordered the full/compact size for my CZ P10C, and it fits perfectly. It's much more comfortable for IWB carry compared to my previous kydex holster. The robust belt clip and thick leather quality are impressive, especially at this price. I even ordered a subcompact size for my smaller pistols!"

"I chose this holster based on positive reviews about its craftsmanship and materials, and I can confirm they were right. The quality is exceptional, and I'm fully satisfied. However, for my S&W MP9 2.0, the retention didn't work as expected, no matter how I adjusted it. I hope the brand considers designing a specific holster for my gun in the future."

"I chose the Relentless Tactical Ultimate Leather Gun Holster because of its strong customer ratings and my research on the company. As an American-made product, it was an easy decision to purchase the holster, mag holder, and gun belt. The gun belt is incredibly comfortable and high quality. The holster fit my 1911 perfectly after just 24 hours, forming snugly around it without slowing my draw. The mag holder is equally well-made, and I’m planning to order another one."

"The leather holster looks great and was easy to break in, providing a snug fit for my full-sized 1911. I've been using it daily with no issues whatsoever."

"I needed an outside the waistband holster for my new 1911 and decided on the Relentless Tactical 3 slot Pancake Holster. It arrived quickly and was well-packaged, complete with a sticker and break-in instructions. It fit almost perfectly from the start and became even better after 24 hours. The three slots allow for versatile carry options, and I can wear it comfortably with just a flannel shirt over it. Their customer service is prompt and attentive, making me feel confident about my purchase."

"I was very pleased with this holster's thick leather and rigid molding, which keeps its shape and offers good value."

"I found that it fits my G2C and G3C 9 mm and 40 cal perfectly, holding the weapon securely. I will definitely be buying more soon, as my job requires rugged products and this holster will last."

"After getting this holster, I realized it was quite tight for my Shield EZ .380, so I did the baggie trick and left it overnight, and it fit great after that. However, I could not get my Hanks belt through the slots, which were oddly shaped. I ended up using a Rotozip bit in my Dremel to modify it, but other than that, I really like the matte black finish and construction."

"The leather is soft and the fit is secure. I love the adjustable paddle mounting system, it's heavy-duty, so I don't have to worry about it staying in place."

"I got this holster for my husband, a retired police officer. He really likes it! It fits a Smith and Wesson 40 cal, and the leather feels high-quality. We both recommend it."

"I've tried many holsters, but this one is my favorite. It’s comfortable and allows me to carry a variety of different firearms."

"I find this in-waistband holster to be amazing for the price. It fits my Glock 43X perfectly and the leather thickness is impressive for such an inexpensive product. I can wear it comfortably for long hours at work, and it retains its shape after drawing. While I’ve heard it might soften over time, that’s not a concern for me since I typically pull the holster out as a unit. For daily carry, I really enjoy it and would highly recommend it to others with a Glock 43X!"

"The leather and stitching quality is really good. It’s slim and comfortable for concealed carry. My Glock 43X fits snugly in it, and the clip is sturdy and secure. I would definitely recommend this holster!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by this holster! It’s comfortable for concealed carry and works well with various firearms as mentioned in the description."

"I found it perfect; it holds tightly to my belt and is very comfortable. It fits my P80 G19 without any issues. 10/10!"

"This holster works exactly as I hoped. I can draw my gun easily and holster it with one hand. The leather and stitching are robust, providing years of service. It exceeded my expectations, especially for the price!"

"It fits my wife's security 380 perfectly and has held up well to regular use."
