Guns are meant to be carried with gun Leather. Different things work for different folks, but only a good piece of hide works for old-school gun owners. If you are an old-school soul, there are a number of classic Gun Leather Pieces that are meant for you. At Black Hills Leather, we have some must-have gun leather pieces for you to consider.

1. Leather Gun Belts

A gun belt is a must-have, and it is best that it is in leather. It is the basic component of the carry system and essential for anyone who carries. When you carry anything bigger than a micro pistol, you should use a gun belt. Your leather gun belt should provide support to both the pistol and the Holster.

2. Leather Avenger Holsters

These holsters combine all the features you desire into a practical leather belt holster. Some of the key features of this old-school design are as follows:

• Access to full firing grip, which provides instant shooting grip
• Molded sight rail that makes draws smooth and quick
• Reinforced holster opening offers a convenient single-handed return to the holster
• Quick wrist-locked draw stroke due to vertical orientation

The ideal design rides high on your belt and features a tunnel on the rear along with a trailing loop.

3. Threepersons Holster

This holster exposes all the trigger guard, grip frame, and hammer. It is a rather plain scabbard sitting high on the belt and at a steep angle. It is a classic OWB and is also referred to as Threepersons Rig. It became the standard to pack a pistol and was a favorite with law enforcement. The design is pretty simple.

• The holster rides low, giving you a good grip and an open top
• The trigger guard is left exposed, which was convenient for the time
• A strap goes over the top and the outside of the holster

The Threepersons Holster may not be considered the best OWB in some ways, but it does make an excellent general carry holster.

4. Summer Special Holster

The Summer Special holster is the precursor to the modern IWB. This old-school leather holster is designed to conceal a pistol with ease and comfort. Some of the main features of this holster are as follows:

• This is a minimalist inside-the-waistband holster
• Its mouth is reinforced to simplify re-holstering and is attached to the belt by a couple of snap loops
• It gets its retention from the tension between the belt and the body

Some designs feature a sweat guard. This gun holster has been widely popular with law enforcement.
