Tequila Rig Model TQ02

The Tequila Cross Draw Rig is beautiful, well made and fits perfectly! I'm very happy with it. Kirkpatrick Leather Company is now my favorite vendor for gun leather.

Ordered a TSS for a specific firearm

Ordered a TSS for a specific firearm and put all dimensions in notes. They missed those notes and holster came out of specs. I contacted them and they gave me two choices. I keep holster as it fit another firearm. They said, they would rush second holster. They did not. It also was not very well fit. I would not use them again. The holsters are decent. But prices are to high.

Absolutely gorgeous holster

Absolutely gorgeous holster. I was a little hesitant to try a leather holster without a thumb break, but the fit is superb. I wanted something special for a Hamilton Bowen tuned 45 Colt Ruger Redhawk 4.2", and the model 2020 Revolver Holster fit the bill...VERY PLEASED!

Service, Product - Everything was great...

Service was great...
Fast delivery...
Holster is first rate in every way... the OWB holster #2020, order #42859.
Holster worth every penny of the cost!
PERFECT FIT out of the package...
I do not know how it could have been any better!
This very positive experience & product is especially significant to me... my former leather company, El Paso Saddlery, seems to be in complete disarray: they will not answer the phone or emails regarding undelivered merchandise that cost me over $500! Cannot contact them, their messages say they are too busy to answer the phone or answer emails!
KIRKPATRICK LEATHER has replaced EL PASO SADDLERY as my preferred leather maker for sure!!!

Just imagine: Over $500 paid to EL PASO for product not delivered... and they cannot be contacted to discuss it - this is painful!

My custom initial gun rig !

Just received my new custom leather gun holster and belt setup, and I’m seriously impressed!
This is a high-end, fully hand-tooled piece cut specifically to my waist measurements. The quality is outstanding — beautiful leather, perfect fit, and built to last.
Huge shoutout to the company for their excellent customer service. They responded quickly, followed up right away, and even helped me fix a couple of ordering mistakes I made. In the end, they delivered exactly what I wanted.
Extremely happy with the final product. If you’re looking for top-tier custom leather gear, I highly recommend them!

This is the first time I've ordered a…

This is the first time I've ordered a custom holster and belt (think it was called a Mexican loop). Researched a lot and settle on Kirkpatrick as a very fine company. The order process - in take was confusing. But, I had my measurements and called the company. I wanted a very nice holster/belt and this was going to cost ~$700. The woman I spoke with advised me on the belt size and I listed my firearm, i.e. a Freedom Arms 83. The belt was too small and the firearm did not fit properly. Spoke with a higher level up and they said they would have recommended a longer belt (not good now) and sent pics of the firearm getting hung up on the sights. He argued it fit when it was about a 1/2" shy of seating properly. Sad but terrible experience. They did refund the entire purchase after a fight (where I would have called my credit card company). But the ordering process was simply terrible for a new customer.

Good holster. Needs break in period

Great quality holster and seems exactly what was ordered. Fits newer model pistol. Downside is that the holster does not release the firearm very easily. And is very hard to draw pistol from the holster. Have wrapped the pistol to try and expand the holster to see if that helps or not and also doing multiple draws. But as holster releases very hard may take awhile.

The holster fit.

The holster construction and quality of the leather is very good, however, the fit for the weapon is not. It is beyond snug, to the point that the gun barely fits into the holster without having to force it in. At this point, the holster is unusable, and to me, doubtful that it would open up enough to be useful in the future.

I have been aware of Kirkpatrick's…

I have been aware of Kirkpatrick's Leather Company for at least 20 years. When I wanted a quality, custom holster and belt rig for my Ruger Blackhawk 357 magnum I researched for several months online, looking at dozens of leather work companies. My search kept bringing me back to Kirkpatrick's. I was not disappointed in their product's quality when it came in the mail just short of three weeks after ordering it. It is perfectly sized to my waist and fits my pistol like a glove. It is a beautiful work of art which I will someday pass on to one of my children. I would order from them again.
