Great holster
Rachel did a follow-up to make sure my belt would fit. I had ordered a cheaper holster from another company. It was wrong order so I sent it back I wasn't impressed with their product. The belt and holster From Kirkpatrick is very well made and will last a long time. "You get what you pay for". It is worth every penny. Very satisfied!
Great Investment for my new Pistol
Quality, fit, and appearance of the holster I purchased are all top quality workmanship. Definitely a good product and worth the price.
I love my holster
I love my holster. It fits, my gun fits and it didn't take long to get. I ordered one for my son.
Great holster
Great holster. Very tight at first, but there are ways to loosen it up.
Best service / Best product
Outstanding customer service and great communication. Went out of their way to ensure I received my order quickly so i could have it before I was traveling. Great shoulder holster. Highest quality possible. Better than any competitor.
Kirkpatrick 2020
Received the Kirkpatrick holster for the new S&W Lipsey 686-7.
Fantastic!
Kirkpatrick scores a perfect 10.
Fantastic product.
Fantastic product.
The company is great.
I am very happy with my item. Rachel was very helpful lady.
Perfect Fit
The Model 4100 OWB Holster fit's my 1911 like a glove and seems to have required very little break in (like only a few days of carry).
I like how it carries close to the body and high up too.
Happy customer here.......

IWB holster for Body Guard 2.0
The holster that I received for my S&W Body Guard 2.0 fit the Gun perfectly. I do wish the holster mouth was reinforced to make re-holstering easier and that the belt clip was black though.

This company knows its business.
The holster I just purchased is the 4th one I have purchased from Kirkpatrick. The thing that I appreciate is that with the exception of their quick shipping models the holster is not made until you order it. and pay for it. While this adds some time to receiving the item, you can be reassured that what you ordered is what you get. The quality is outstanding, the guidelines in breaking the holster in work like a charm. I've never been dissappointed.

Disappointed
Shortly after ordering my product I was told that they were on vacation and that my my order would be delayed. I was not given any option to opt out. I waited and when I received it I was impressed with the level of detail of the work but was disappointed in the flimsy nature of the leather. It was very thin and I'm afraid it will not hold up.

Horrible fit
Holster I ordered was for a revolver with 1.87 inch barrel. The one I received was for a revolver with a 3.5 inch barrel. Needless to say, it was a horrible fit. Customer service will not respond. Challenged the charge on my Mastercard. Buyer beware!
Absolutely pitiful customer service
So, did an online order back before Christmas:
Kirkpatrick Hidden Defense IWB Holster
Quantity: 1 0
Color: hand-dyed-brown
Configuration: right-handed
Gun Manufacturer: Glock
Gun Model: G27
Notes: with Trijicon RMR
Also ordered a B-55 Belt - 1.5 Straight - Model B55. Total was just under 300 bucks.
Called today ( five weeks after) to check status. The rep on the phone tells me they cut the leather for the belt, so it shouldn't be much longer. I asked what about the holster, and I swear she says "What holster?" she starts digging, and finally finds the order. Then says, "We don't make that model for red dot sight equipped weapons." I then wanted to know why I was only finding this out after they had had my money for over five weeks? "Oh, sorry, I can refund what you paid for the holster." Nope, refund it all, immediately, or I will just dispute the charge. Which they did. I then received an email saying:
"In regards to the shipping time frame, apologies for the oversight in reaching out to you regarding the availability of the item you ordered. Your order was received while we were closed for the Christmas and New Years holidays and upon or return when sending out notifications on changes needed to be made to orders, your order was somehow overlooked. While we are usually very good about catching notes such as yours, human error does occur."
Think twice about purchasing from this outfit. I sure won't ever again.
Poor customer service
Well, I placed a review yesterday. I deleted it because I felt that maybe they were going to stand by their product and their organization issued a refund to a bank account that I closed a while back. I tried to explain this to this organization, but the stick by policy that is unfair and I may have to wait an additional 10 days from my bank to receive these funds. I called them today. They see nothing has come in yet $260 to out the window. In my opinion I review the other day somebody said they can’t think of a better leather holster company Than this one I don’t believe it Galco is so much better. I was stupid too put any kind of faith in a different company after purchasing several quality holes from Galco. I’m going back to them and getting something I like Kirkpatrick leather is not the place I thought there was a certain code for Texans , but I guess Kirkpatrick has their own code wished I had never done business with them
Scam holster company
Ordered a holster back on Jan 18, 2024 and paid $250. Eight weeks out I requested for a modification to the holster. Twelve weeks out I finally receive an email from Alexandra saying there is a $12 upcharge for the modification and that they would have it done in 2 more weeks. It's been 14+ weeks and not a word from them. Tried calling them. No answer! I think they are a big scam. I've since disputed both charges and received a credit from my CC company. My recommendation is stay away from them. I've ordered holsters from Craft and Falco. While they are not even located in the US, I received the items in a timely fashion as promised and the holsters are great!
Communication is terrible. Good Luck with your order and pray that it arrives in eight weeks with all the right pieces.
Communication is terrible and the only thing that got the 2nd star was the general quality of the product when it finally arrived, except it also arrived without the proper trigger guard. Be aware that when you place the order you get a message telling you it can be between 6 to 15 weeks before you see anything. But just try and communicate to cancel.
I waited weeks for a product while experiencing incredibly whimsical communication. (1 email, pause weeks, nonresponsive email, said "what?", no response, said "just cancel it," heard weeks later, looks like it might ship...can't tell you when but..... more weeks, shipping notice). I emailed a week ago to get the missing piece and I've heard nothing. I am sure it will take another six months. The way they run this is just a real shame, because the product is worthwhile.
Outstanding workmanship
Outstanding workmanship, great customer service and pricing much better than the other premium holster makers. I ordered this OSB with a few upgrades including full leather lining. The fit based upon my firearm was perfect. I have many holsters in both leather and Kydex and none compare in quality to the Kirpatrick. I highly recommend Kirkpatric Leather.
Personally I think they are crap
Personally I think they are crap. Absolutely nothing on them fits. Mags won't fit in the pouch, cartridges don't fit in the loops. Belt won't even fasten properly because EVERYTHING is the wrong damn size. WTH? Do they even size them or test them at all? Total waste of money.
