Kelley Gun Leather
Here are a few quick pictures of the awesome holsters from Kelley Gun Leather. Steven is a great guy to deal with and an excellent craftsman. He was very patient in helpful and very accommodating with all the phone calls and changes I kept making. The C-Flex holster and mag carrier are both in natural oil finish horsehide and also have black straps that Steven included so I can use them when I have a black belt on and the Swift is in black horsehide.

Steven made the Swift so I can use it with the regular .45 ACP barrel in place or the Clark .460 Rowland conversion barrel installed with a 1.5 inch comp hanging on the end

Steven does great work, I've had my C-flex on since 8am this morning with a full size all steel rail 1911.

I'm going to get my bids in now on a new Kelley Holster, before all these glowing reports push his backlog into Sparks territory!!!

I owe my decision to go with Kelley and A&G on all of you who posted such glowing reviews and so far y'all have been right!

Here's two of my latest holsters from Steve. I've ordered half a dozen from him and will go back to him again without hesitation.

SWEET! Horse or bovine? I may have to get the next one with the shark skin trimming. I have shown the holsters to all my gun shooting buddies and several have said their next holsters will come from Kelley's. I have had a lot of different holsters from well known makers and small custom shops and I would put Steven's up against any of them. His customer service and workmanship are second to none. He will definitely be my holster maker from now on. Can you tell I like them.........A LOT?

Those really look great! I'm torn between the Swift and Outlaw myself. How do you like the snap setupu on the Swift?

ETA, oops, never mind. I wasn't paying attention, didint realize the one was IWB. OK, do how do you like the Outlaw?

I like the outlaw. Right up until I ordered the C-FLEX, its been the only holster I ordered from Steve (I think I own six or seven now). They ride high, secure the weapon very well, and pull the pistol right into your side. They start out TIGHT, but mold to your body and break in quickly.

I have a Swift OWB that snaps on like the Alessi holster. So far it works well and is easy to get on and off without taking your belt off.

Good ol' cow. I've been so happy with the quality and durability of the cow thus far, I haven't seen the need to move up to the horse.

After all the great reviews and pictures of the product I dropped Steven a line last night. What a great guy to deal with! I ordered a Swift with the full size sweat guard, black cowhide with sharkskin trim.

LoneOak,

Those Chicago's Screws are right down your alley. Of all the belts you have, and I know you have many, you need to change all of the out.

LoneOak,

I tried to correct my post but it would not take. Just forget my comment. It's dinner time and two glasses of wine - stay off the computer.

Stay safe, my friend.
