JP Leather Works 1911 Holster

Mr. Joe Price from JP Leather Works recently sent us one of his 1911 holsters to test and evaluate. Joe began making leather goods earlier this year and we were excited to get our hands on one of his holsters. Joe's proud of his work and takes pride in the quality of his products.  They are hand cut from the hide and feature Joe's own custom patterns. He molds the leather to fit the firearm and each holster is hand sewn with double stitching. The leather is waxed and polished for ultimate protection.


Right out of the box I was super impressed with the overall quality and softness of the leather. It felt as if it had been fully broken in. We had opted for the Spartan design. The spartan pattern was stamped in the leather and burned to add color and character. The leather was beautiful and had a realistic wood grain look to it. So far so good, moving on...

The gun that would be calling the Spartan Holster it's new home was an Auto Ordnance 1911. The AO 1911 slid right into the holster with ease yet still very snug. It held the gun securely. To really test out how well the gun was secured I went for a little jog. The gun never moved and was very comfortable. Next was the vehicle test. Getting in and out of the truck the holster held the 1911 up tight to my body and didn't get caught up on anything. While driving I couldn't even tell I had a gun on my side. Joe really nailed the ergonomic aspect of this holster. Even though it's an outside the waist band holster it can easily be concealed with a jacket or longer shirt. The way the holster hugs your body reduces any bulk or bulging.

The last area that was tested was drawing the firearm from the holster. The design of this holster puts the firearm right where you want it and your hand goes right to it in a natural motion. The 1911 releases with ease and you are ready to rock.

In conclusion, I am extremely happy with the 1911 Spartan holster from JP Leather Works. It looks great and functions extremely well. It has become my new "go to" holster for the 1911.
