At first I was disappointed with the product and bashed them on a review. Upon further study I realized the holster worked fine with the 1911 style pistol in the cocked position. My bad. So give them a try but study the pics closer!

I purchased Craft Holsters OWB Leather Pancake Holster w 2 Carry Positions. This is the best leather holster I ever purchased. Thier instruction videos on how to break-in the leather and how to care and treat the holster are excellent. I puchase it in black and I will be purchasing the same holster in tan. I highly recommend Craft Holsters.

I ordered a holster on 10/25/25 - it shipped out on 11/19/25 and I received it on 11/24/25 - when I placed the order I wasn't aware that it was coming from Europe but they did say it would take approx 30 days - the holster is made well and actually fits my pistol/light combo correctly - being hand-tooled leather it was VERY stiff and required significant break-in - after a week of conditioning the leather and sliding the weapon in and out numerous times, it's getting better - I'm happy with my purchase!

I received my holster today, and I am extremely impressed. I have been searching for a long time to find the right holster for this firearm, which holds great sentimental value as it was my grandfather’s favorite piece—a 1970s Colt Python. Until now, I had never been able to find a proper fit. I opened it just a few minutes ago and was amazed at how perfect the fit is. It required no break-in period and looks outstanding. The way it slides in and out is flawless, and the precision right out of the box really exceeded my expectations. I especially appreciate being able to personalize it with my grandfather’s initials. That meant a great deal to me. Truly above and beyond. Thank you again for your craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Craft holsters makes great quality holsters for a reasonable price. Just all around a great company with awesome products!

Very good quality and great customer service

I just received this item... Really impressed with the quality leather, great color, stitching is top notch, I was so upset the mags didn't seem to fit when I first tried to push them in the holder. Tight... That's expected so I spritzed the inside with the break in fluid. Re inserted the ill-fitting mags and left it overnight. That seemed to free things up but the mag on one side would hang while the other pulled out snug but not a problem. Here's the fix for my S&W M&P Shield single stack mags need to be inserted with the flat side of the heel in centered and the round side to the outside, this puts the hooks in the mag that grab the inside gun on the outside where the leather folds and is slightly shaped so to not hang. Retention screws will let you adjust the hold to avoid the mag slipping out. Once I got this resolved I just fidgeted with the mags in and out to where now everything fits snug not too tight and are easy to purposely remove and insert.

Very professional, great fit and realiable a must have.
