## About / Our Story

Source: https://www.craftholsters.com/about-us

A holster isn't just gear — it's part of your daily mission, whether you're protecting loved
ones, serving your community, or sharpening your skills at the range. Craft Holsters focuses on
craftsmanship built for what's ahead.

What we believe: Every responsible gun owner deserves a holster made just for them — built to
fit their firearm, their carry style, and their mission.

What we build: Craft Holsters partners with veteran leather artisans who combine old-world skill
with modern precision. Using top-tier materials, they craft holsters that are reliable,
comfortable, and built to endure. Every holster is custom made to order.

## Products overview

Source: https://www.craftholsters.com/holsters

- Custom-made leather and nylon holsters, magazine pouches, gun belts, and care accessories.
- Every holster is custom made to order, molded to fit a specific firearm model and configuration.
  Some items are available in stock (use the "in stock" filter in the Holster Finder for faster
  delivery).
- Coverage: 80+ brands and 2000+ gun models, plus 150+ carry-style categories, in right-hand and
  left-hand configurations.

How to find a holster (Holster Finder): Go to the full holster selection, select the manufacturer
and model of your gun from the drop-down menu, and click "Find Holsters". Filters are available
for carry style, material, attachments, manufacturer, color, "in stock" availability, and
"left handed" options.

### Custom holsters for lights, lasers and red dot optics (key strength)

Craft Holsters specializes in holsters custom made for firearms equipped with weapon-mounted
lights, lasers and red dot sights — molded for the specific gun + attachment combination rather
than relying on a generic open-front fit.

- 158 unique light/laser/optic attachment options are supported (for example, the Streamlight TLR-6).
- These cover 1,130 firearms equipped with such attachments.
- Every combination is offered in 2 hand configurations (right and left) and 2 colors.
