1911 Leather Holster with Hammer Strap Retention

Purpose-built leather carry for 1911-style pistols

In everyday belt carry, stability and predictable handling matter more than complicated features. This holster is designed for 1911-style pistols and can be built for many semi-automatic handguns based on the order selections. A hammer strap retention system helps keep the pistol secured during movement, while the leather construction maintains a traditional look suitable for range use, property carry, and general outdoor wear.

How it carries in real use

• Belt-worn design: built for OWB-style belt carry with a traditional leather profile.

• Secure retention: the hammer strap adds an extra retention step for users who prefer added security on the belt.

• Refined interior feel: listed as fully leather lined, with a lining option shown on the product page (lined or unlined, depending on your selection).

Materials, finishes, and customization options

This holster is crafted from quality leather and offered with build options to match your carry preferences:

• Finish options: Plain, Basket Weave, or Hand-Carved Design (as offered in your finish selector)
• Color options: Black, Russet, Dark Chestnut
• Interior options: Smooth leather lined or unlined (per your options list)
• Belt loop width selection: choose the belt width you actually wear for better stability.

Expert insights

• Retention straps are often preferred for active wear because they add a deliberate retention step when bending, walking, or working outdoors.
• Lined interiors are commonly chosen for a smoother draw feel and a more finished interior surface.
• Matching belt width to the holster’s belt loops is one of the biggest comfort factors—a poor match can cause shifting and instability.
• If leather gets wet, air-drying is the safest approach; direct heat can damage leather over time.
• Occasional light conditioning helps leather stay serviceable, but over-conditioning can soften retention and change the fit.
