Gear Handcrafted Leather by Stirn Holsters Recoil Staff November 27, 2015 Join the Conversation At RECOIL, we review every product fairly and without bias. Making a purchase through one of our links may earn us a small commission, and helps support independent gun reviews. Read our affiliate policy. Find out more about how we test products. Don't believe that Kydex is king, or just looking for something different? Here's a handcrafted artisanal option to consider: Stirn Holsters. Eric Stirnkorb (certainly ‘Stirn' rolls off the tongue easier) details the origins on his webpage: After purchasing a couple of mid-priced holsters for my own use, I realized they were uncomfortable, plastic, and not a good fit for my weapon. I wanted a custom holster made of real leather! So I made one that was exactly what I wanted. Soon I began making them for friends and family and now they are available to you. We still purchase only the highest grade leather. It is beautiful, takes color easily, is durable and comfortable. We offer two styles – inside and outside the waistband. Each holster is hand made to custom fit your gun. Please inquire about custom-made artwork and exotic leathers. And not all of these are your standard leather holsters either. Custom designs can be fashioned directly into the leather. To purchase, or for more information, visit the Stirn Holster homepage here, or given them a follow on Facebook or Instagram. #thingstolustfor #holidayplunder #holidaybuyersguide Why you can trust RECOIL Since our founding in 2012, RECOIL remains the premier firearms lifestyle publication for the modern shooting enthusiast.
