Are you a fan of packing the hard hitting classic 1911 pistol?
Are you looking for classy leather to carry that great pistol and spare mags in too?
Well Craft Holsters has a great set that I got a chance to thoroughly review.

While getting ready to review a TISAS SSR 1911 Pistol I thought about what would be a proper holster to carry such a fine looking sidearm in. My friends at Craft Holsters had the perfect handmade leather holster and matching double spare magazine holder that I tested thoroughly along with the 1911 style .45 ACP. pistol.

Let’s take a look what this great looking handmade Opened Muzzle Leather Belt Holster is all about:
- Outside the Waistband (OWB), dominant side carry
- Designed for high-ride carry
- 4 o’clock carry position
- Custom, glove-like fit
- Premium Italian leather & high-quality German threads
- Durable double-stitching on the key parts of the holster
- Barrel partially covered
- Reinforced thumb-break strap for high security and retention
- Detachable thumb-break for some gun models
- Designed for 1.5’’ gun belts
- Available in mahogany and black color
- Available for both right and left-handed shooters
The Double Leather Mag Pouch will carry standard length 1911 style mags. Here are the other specs on that sharp looking leather:
- Outside the Waistband (OWB) carry
- Double magazine pouch
- Hand made product
- Premium Italian leather with lacquered finish
- Custom glove-like fit
- Closed-top design for increased security
- 2 belt loops for increased stability
- Easy access and high carry comfort
- Available in mahogany and black color

Housed inside the Leather Double Mag Pouch are two 8 round standard length 1911 .45 ACP. magazines. They have a nice firm fit inside of the mag pouch and are secured well and protected by the leather top straps that button down also securely. Never pack a handgun without spare ammunition.

Check out that heavy duty stitching and the molded fit of the high grade leather. A lot of work went into this holster.

The thumb strap is adjustable by Velcro and a loop that holds everything in place after adjustment securely.

Here is the back view of both the Leather Double Mag Pouch and the Opened Muzzle Leather Belt Holster. The quality of the construction is quite easy to observe.

So how well does it do when in use? Well these up close images tell it all. The holster fits the pistol like a glove. The thumb strap is easy to release for a quick and very smooth draw.
