Kirkpatrick will always be me go to for new holsters

I've bought a lot of holsters. Kirkpatrick holsters are always quality made and more importantly, fit the firearm that they are made for. Kirkpatrick made me a holster for a firearm that I was unable to find a holster for from any other source,

Communication was foggy

Communication was foggy, told exactly how to measure for size, did it including photographs with tape measure. The belt sent would not even fit using largest punched hole. Had to pay return shipping, restocking fee and another shipping charge. None of this error was related to me. Now belt fits on the very last hole, very loose but will work. Belt buckle cheap looking, no quality. Also two tension screws fell out.
Actual quality of leather very nice.

Great Experience from Beginning to End

Great experience from beginning to end. Rachel patiently helped me through the process of designing and ordering a custom rig for a 1967 J.P. Sauer & Sohn Western Six Shooter my dad recently passed along to me. The quality of the end product is exceptional, as I expected based on other reviews. The production time exceeded all expectations. Many thanks to all members of the Kirkpatrick team!

I have 2 Gunbelts

I have 2 Gunbelts, a paddle holster and a rifle stock shell holder and will be ordering a couple more holsters.. I spend a lot of money on my firearms and want nothing but the best to accompany them. These guys do it right. Rachel is fantastic to work with when customizing what you want and the quality of the work from their craftsmen is top notch. If you want something to hand down to your grandkids.. you’ve found it.

A work of art

A classy, well made holster made in my home state of Texas. The craftsmanship is admirable with sturdy, well placed stitching and smoothed edges all around. A perfect fit for the pistol it was designed to hold and sits well on the belt. Another truly satisfied and impressed customer-keep up the good work.
