Mike and his team at Diamond D Custom Leather are awesome! Their Alaskan guide holster is my favorite holster of all time, way better than my old Galco set up. The leather is very thick, and as far as I know Diamond D holsters are the only holsters that are lined on the inside. I also like the option for barrel length on the holster as snub nose sizes are hard to find and I did not want to settle for a holster designed for a 4 inch.
The Guide setup is very well thought out. The mid torso/cross draw is excellent, it feels natural sort of like unsheathing a sword. It is comfortable for all day wear and fits my pistol flawlessly. The fit is described like a mitt due to the leather being double sided, and slides out but when holstered is firmly secured. Excellent design and materials, workmanship is top notch.
The wait time may seem long due to the long line since each holster is hand made, but mine came in 8 weeks or so instead of 12 due to Mike and his team helping me out. The team is excellent and will work with you if you needed it faster, also there are many options to select from such as a GI style flap, ammo pouches and speed holsters.
By far my best holster purchase! Worth every cent and the wait is worth it once you get your holster in your hands! Happy customer here! read more
