Ready-to-Stitch Leather Holster Kits for 1911 Handguns
Shop holster kits for the 1911 in pre-cut leather, with one sized to each barrel length of 3.00in, 4.00in, 4.25in and 5.00in. Styles range from the low-profile Pancake and slim Mini Slide to the strap-secured Thumb Break and Snap Retention, and the cowhide comes in Black or Espresso.
The 1911 kits in DIY Leather Holster Kits are named by barrel length, and the shorter barrels offer more styles to pick from. At 3.00in every style is available, the 4.00in kit offers Mini Slide, Pancake and Thumb Break, and the 4.25in and 5.00in kits come as a Mini Slide or Thumb Break. Left-hand carry is offered on the Thumb Break for the 4.00in and 4.25in barrels, and every other combination builds a right-hand holster.
The Mini Slide is the compact, minimalist choice, a slim open-top belt slide that sits close to your body, and the Pancake sandwiches the pistol between a pair of leather panels held snug by belt tension. The two strap styles differ in how they open, since the Thumb Break strap over the back of the pistol releases with your thumb and the Snap Retention strap frees with an upward pull. Each USA-made kit packs waxed thread and threading needles with the cut 8-9 oz panels, so you can start stitching as soon as it arrives.
