Kirkpatrick Leather Co. Reviews 67

I purchased a quick ship rig, it is beautifully done and shipped fast. When I needed a custom rig for red dot, I did not hesitate to order another. They said 6-8 weeks, I got it in 5, it is beautifully done, well worth waiting for, and I am happy to support their business.

UPDATE: received products. NICE!
Other than seeing "Kirkpatrick" charge on my credit card statement I heard nothing from them for over 3 weeks.
The only communication I ever received from Kirkpatrick was a single email (caught by Microsoft Quarantine) just before items arrived.

Been sitting and waiting on an order that was placed and paid for in Oct 2020. Where is it? This company will not respond to emails and does not answer their phone. If you leave a voice mail, they do not call you back. Never again. Will probably have to do a CC take back request.

Waiting now over 9 weeks for my belt holster. Did not respond to my last inquiry concerning this order. Maybe their product is superior, but their service is D minus at best!

I purchased my Kirkpatrick Leather Co. rig consisting of; OWB Undercover (2010) holster, double magazine pouch (D62) and a 1-1/2” fully lined gunbelt (B55), for my third generation, Smith & Wesson 4006 in the summer of 2018. My weapon, an all stainless steel semiautomatic with a four inch barrel, chambered in .40S&W is heavy and I needed significant gunleather to carry it properly.
When looking for gunleather, there are a couple of priorities I look to address. First is comfort. If the gear is not comfortable, I won't wear it and that defeats the purpose. My firearm can only save lives if it is on my hip when danger presents itself. What I've heard called “program compliance". My Kirkpatrick Leather Co. rig is so comfortable I wear it nearly every day as my EDC firearm choice. The rig distributes the weight so well, it seems to all but disappear.
My next priority is security of the weapon. The depth of the holster pocket that the weapon sits into, in my Undercover model 2010, and the quality craftsmanship that goes into the molding of the holster, allows the firearm to be held securely without the need of a tensioning screw. In my opinion, these are the top priorities but my Kirkpatrick gunleather also looks great and does a wonderful job protecting the finish of my firearm.
The double magazine pouch I selected (D62), holds onto my spare magazines like the handshake of a dear friend. Additionally, the 1-1/2” fully lined gunbelt I chose for my rig, was customized by the craftsmen at Kirkpatrick, by stamping my family motto, in Latin, into the back. It's this kind of personalization that is very hard to come by, without incurring a heavy financial penalty. The good people at Kirkpatrick Leather Co. provided this six word moto (spelled correctly) at a very modest expense, that I was thrilled with.
Lastly, expense must be considered. I have no doubt that you will be as pleased as I was at the pricing of the products at Kirkpatrick. You can easily spend, what I spent on my entire quality leather rig, on a holster alone, and perhaps not equal the Kirkpatrick quality.
I fully expect to get many more years of valuable service from my Kirkpatrick Leather Co. gear. I have used it daily for over a year and you can see from the photos that it looks nearly as good as the day I received it. Now that’s what I call durability. Add all these things up, and that is how I determine quality. I think it would be well worth your time to check out Kirkpatrick Leather Co. the next time you are in the market for quality gunleather.
