Leather Creek Holsters
[/one_half][one_half_last][/one_half_last]
When Ruger sent us a New Bearcat to review, we knew we needed gun leather. A revolver without a holster isn’t much fun. Even a diminutive rimfire revolver like the New Bearcat deserves to have its own rig. While it isn’t meant for fast-draw SASS matches, the Bearcat has its place. It would make a fine ranch gun, or backpacker’s gun, but there’s just something unsettling about sticking the naked barrel of a gun down your pants.

The fit and finish on the Bearcat holster is fantastic. The gun fit snugly, and was held in place by the leather cord. Though this sill loosen a bit with time, the holster should mold even more exactly to the revolver’s shape. It isn’t level one retention, but it isn’t likely to come free, either.

These are handmade holsters, which means you’ll see some imperfections. Big companies that make thousands of holsters can afford perfect stamps that crank out flawless basket-weave. The hand stamp process is much more cumbersome and requires a maker to stamp each individual section of the weave. This isn’t complicated, but it can be monotonous. I’ve yet to see a flawless piece of hand-stamped leather, and these human touches are often the sign that it isn’t mass produced.

The Bearcat holsters start at $65 and go up to $130 (which is the full floral holster with a skirt). If you are looking for that personal touch, take a look at Leather Creek.

Where can I contact Leather Creek Holsters ?
I want a holster for my ruger bearcat
Do you make a holster for a 3” barrel bearcat shopkeeper?
El Paso Saddlery will not do custom work, Kirkpatrick will. Send them a picture of what you want,address it to Jason.
I cannot completely agree with your comment “These are handmade holsters, which means you’ll see some imperfections. Big companies that make thousands of holsters can afford perfect stamps that crank out flawless basket-weave.

I’ve yet to see a flawless piece of hand-stamped leather, and these human touches are often the sign that it isn’t mass produced.” I have several items from El Paso Saddlery that, while handmade, are as close to “flawless” as I can see. I imagine that Leathercreek’s are equally fine. Just how closely do you look for imperfections?
I have a Heritage Rough Rider in 22lr and 22 wmr . What would it cost for the basket weave holster ??
Thank You
