Anyone know of a leather holster maker in the Alabama, Northern FL, Southern Mississippi areas? I'm looking for a holster that no one apparently normally makes. So, I guess I will have to have one made. I dont want to order off of a website. I would rather talk in person because what I want is kind of particular.

Have you tried to make/design one yourself? I am not a leather worker by any stretch of the imagination, but I have made 3 holsters for myself, including a western style buscadero holster. It's not hard, but time consuming. There are a bunch of easy to follow videos on youtube, and you can see where/how to modify your particular design.

That has been my most recent idea. There is a local festival called "Pioneer Days" that is this weekend. There is a vendor that sells skins and leather there. Gonna go take a look.

I know that I can make the holster. It is the harness that I am worried about. At the very least, I can make a crossdraw waist holster. But i want a crossdraw under arm holster that is not vertical. I bought an Uncle Mikes that is vertical and I hate it. I cant draw the pistol.

There used to be a guy that would show up to the Foggy Hollow bluegrass gathering up close to gadsden alabama. But they haven't had that little festival in the last year or two. I had a custom banjo strap made while I jammed out to bluegrass music.
He made custom holsters for pistols

I had never heard of them. I like the looks of what they do, but I kinda wanted someone semi-local.

But I've gone and done it now.... I went last weekend and bought a whole double shoulder hide and a bunch of leather working tools.... Uh OH!!! :yes:
Officially dangerous now...

Check with Oak Ridge Gun Range in Midway( Gulf Breeze /Navarree area...across from the zoo hwy.98). Their is a guy from, Crestview or DeFuniak Springs that makes the leather holsters they carry in the retail store...... sweet looking and reasonably priced.

I ended up buying a half cow hide and about $200 in leather working supplies. Gonna make my own. I already made an outside the waistband "open carry" for my derringer. It worked out well for a learning experiment.
