Who's Your Favorite Holster Maker?
Well we've had I don't know how many threads we've have on favorite guns etc.
So who's your favorite holster maker? I know it will be near impossible to list them all so if you do choose other, please provide info. Poll is multiple choice. 16 options, that's just too few.  I don't have any "one" favorite, so don't ask.  |

I have a pretty limited scope. I've owned Blackhawk!, Galco, Specter, and Milt Sparks. Only the Galco and Sparks were leather. The galco is nice, but definitely has a "factory" fit and finish to it. The Sparks was absolutely beautiful. Fit like a glove, great finish, great quality and stitching, great design...I could go on.
I would however like to eventually try an HBE or UBG. The only thing I wasn't sure if I liked about the Canute was that it didn't have a mouth support (or whatever it is you call the strip that keeps the holster open with no gun).

You can get a reinforced mouth on a Canute.

I have to say that of all the holstermakers listed, I like Uncle Lou the best. He is an icon in holstermaking and a great guy to boot. I happen to have lucked out that I live about an hour away from him, so I've had a chance to watch the master at work and pick his brains a little. His design for the PCH is one of the most innovative designs I've seen.
Another name not mentioned that I have to say is an amazing holster make is Nossar in South America. The most incredibly thin holsters w/ exquisite details in craftsmanship. Anyone looking for a new holster should consider his work. You won't regret it. |

Names not listed
I agree w/ the Nossar comment. I have seen nothing but wonderful rigs from his shop. I have not had the honor of holding/using one but I may have to treat myself and find one for something that is homeless at this time.

Mine is CrossBreed. I also have a BlackHawk, Fobus, and a DeSantis and the CrossBreed caused me to stop my holster collection early.

I did notice the absence of Gary Bromeland and I very much enjoy his contribution to the CCW holster industry!

I love my Dakota Defender. I also have 2 more on order. Kevin is a pleasure to work with.

My experience is limited in that I've only ever owned one holster, the crossbreed supertuck. I've handled a few others, but the crossbreed simply fits me and my needs to the letter!
