Looking for a new leather holster for my government model 1911. Preferably a belt holster, but I'd still like to hear about others.
Thanks

I love finding deals in the Hide PX. Ive gotten some quality gear at bargain prices. Looks like nice leather.
I got one of these from Tucker, Mines less fancy just plain leather...

His belts will tow a Mack tractor if there is a need to do that. Edit - I forst stated there would be a wait for Tucker stuff. I waited about 8 months but it looks like the wait times have been scaled back.

Sumbitch, I was familiar with most of the big names mentioned so far, but had never heard of Tucker. I love that the only service branch Concho he offers is the EGA.
As broke as I am I may ask for one of his holsters for my bday. Now to decide which of my pistols deserves something this pretty. Gonna have to be a 1911, what else.
Its a serious hunk of hide. Mine is about 6 years old and still is pretty stiff like a boot sole. It is my secondary carry holster though, I find the Garret Industry Kydex just so comfortable.
Yes its appreciated that he deigns the USMC worthy of a concho. I may have to get one for a Model 27 Smith sporting that feature.
I think the Tuckers make a great open carry holster for special occasions just don't let your love handles get too far over your belt line though because if they are on a Tucker or Beltman belt the holster wont give your body will have to retreat.
I'd say that's dark brown. The one I bought is same except no concho.
The black cherry has a more red color and it goes from dark almost black at the edges to light red in the center.
Thanks, and my mistake, I thought that was a picture of one you owned. There's a bit of a color shift from pic to pic on the site.
I do own one almost exact to the USMC item, No concho and no thumb strap. I stuff a 1911 Commander in mine and it is a tight rig. If you want to use the strap as a hammer safety fine but the guns are fit tight in the holster. They are not just popping out.
The medium brown is like the color of a nice chestnut horse. The USMC holster is medium brown and a pretty good representation of what mine looks like.
Dark brown is more like a chocolate Hersey bar. The first picture with the gun in it appears to be a dark brown.
I dont think I have any pictures of mine but Ill get some if it will be helpful to you.

Well those are sexy, is there a model (or several) you like?
I own a Gochenour High Ride. Used it for several years in TREs when my "cunt was off the couch," as Larry might say. Rusty's stuff is all horsehide. This one is an OWB, minimalist rig that holds high and tight but gives a pretty fast draw. You can't go wrong with his stuff.
