Rankin Western Holsters
Welcome, Visitor!
You've probably noticed that western holsters are among my most popular items. I dedicated two pages just for this category. There are quite a few photos on this page, so please be patient and give them time to load if you have a dial-up connection.
Holsters are available unlined or with an optional lining. For lining, I use 2-1/2 to 3 ounce tooling leather with the smooth side up. This is far superior to the felt or split leather lining that some makers use which collects oil, dirt and dust resulting in an abrasive surface against your handgun. I make all my cartridge belts fully lined with pulled bullet loops versus the sew on bullet loops that have a tendency to come loose over time. This is a little extra work but I have found the durability worth the effort. All holster illustrated here were custom made to each individual order. No two are exactly alike unless ordered together as a pair. My tooled holsters are made with a border tooled skirt or half skirt style. If you are not sure of what your exact needs are, feel free to
contact me for a consultation to determine what would work best for you and your handgun.
The prices illustrated here reflect the price of the item as shown. Costs can vary according to what each individual orders for barrel length, silver conchos, specialty carving, hand dying, lining, etc. Shipping is additional.
I strongly urge you to read the Consumer Safety page prior to ordering and using any of my holsters and gun belts.
