- A custom leather holster should be durable, i.e. it should go on for a long time, should be secure i.e. it should have proper opening and closing, should be easy to use, i.e. it should not be difficult to handle and should feel easy.
- Additionally, it should also be able to fit properly, i.e. it should not be very tight and not very movable thereby, you should be able to put in and remove your gun easily without the rifle falling here and there in the holster and without it getting stuck.
- The quality of the custom leather holster should be excellent, do not settle for anything less than that.
- It should be strong and flexible and should be capable of enduring wear and tear.
- The custom leather holster should be checked for its retention which means that it should not lose its shape once the gun is removed from it.
- Next comes the comfort level that you experience while trying it. If it is something that makes you uncomfortable or causes a difficulty of some kind then please check another holster which is more comfortable.
- The custom leather holster should be able to conceal under the clothes. After all, why would it be considered custom if it cannot be hidden?
- In order to check the concealment ability, stand in front of the mirror and try various positions, tilt yourself, make side poses, sit and stand and check the holster then.
- Do not choose any other material other than leather itself.
- The holster should fit your firearm.
- Make sure you are able to access it easily for whatever location you choose it for. If it is difficult to access then you should probably change it.
