Description
This US Officer’s Holster is made to fit the classic 1911 style handgun, a sidearm long carried by military officers. Crafted from thick top-grain leather, the surface carries a warm satin finish that softens over time, developing a patina that reflects the wearer’s journeys and battles. The holster is stitched with waxed linen thread, selected for its strength and ability to resist moisture, ensuring the seams stay strong through hard use. A leather leg-thong keeps it secured to the thigh, while the 2-1⁄4″ wide belt loops and belt hanger are sized to fit standard web belts, holding the holster steady during movement. Each holster bears the “US” stamp, marking it as official issue, and is made for right- or left-hand carry to suit the shooter’s preference. This piece is forged following traditional methods, echoing the craftsmanship of past centuries. Fun fact: The 1911 style holster was originally designed to hold a pistol with a long barrel and a heavy frame, influencing its deep pocket and sturdy construction to protect the firearm in harsh conditions.
