Kirkpatrick Leather??

[Acmemfg]

Figured I'm gonna take one for the team here. My philosophy is I cannot really judge what are GREAT leather products, comparing them to others that are not-so-great, or even pretty grim unless I actually acquire those other products.
Kirkpatrick Leather out of Texas got my attention. Been in business since the 50's and ....hey, they're in Texas! Must count for something
So, I bought a magazine pouch for my Beretta Nano, 8 week delivery (what else is new)?
Anyway...anyone out there have any first hand experience with these guys? Kind of curious as to what I should expect.

I looked at them when I was deciding what to get for my Ruger. I will be interested to get your perspective.

I have my down payment in to Ryan, I should see the holster in May.

No personal experience with them, but it looks like quality leather goods on their site. I noticed they feature holsters for Ruger SP 101s. I may have to contact them to see what they can offer for my .327 mag SP101 with its 4.2 inch barrel.

Arguably the longest 4 months you will experience......but it could be worse; Milt Sparks is around 5-6 months. Sam Andrews is at 9 months.

That is so crazy.

Kirkpatrick makes great products. You might also look at Tucker Gun Leather as well. www.tuckergunleather.com

I recently purchased one for my Sig P365 from www.braidsholsters.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html It appears to be nice quality!

I have a couple of these, and they came up on another forum recently.

They’ve gone up on their prices since I bought mine. First one I got was a 1911 and it’s fine. The Glock holster took six or eight months to get to me and I honestly forgot I ordered it. My 19MOS does fit in it, but my gen 3 23 still does not fit that even after trying to stretch it and work with it.

I don’t know if they’re rougher than other leathers on the interiors but they seem pretty rough to me. These are the only leather holsters I have. And they’re not anywhere close to my primary holsters. But the boning, stitching, and construction are fine. They stay open and hold their shape fine.

8 weeks? Just ordered some gear from The Southern Trapper. Looking at 4 to 5 weeks make time but 9 weeks to get it in the shop first so 13 to 14 weeks total. About the same lead time as my others...

That inside leather is no bueno.

This is more what I expect the inside of a proper holster to look like:
TOP-R. Grizzle Leather-unlined
MIDDLE-Ritchie Leather-unlined
BOTTOM-Sam Andrews Custom Leather-suede lined.

I'm a fan of the suede lining!
