We were tired of the same old pancake-style leather holsters offering little retention and causing holster wear on our guns. After trying dozens of leather holsters, we couldn't find any that we loved, so we created our own. Enter the Independence, our premium leather holster, specifically molded for the Springfield 1911 5" With Rail Only.Designed by a master leather craftsman, 20 year Navy veteran, and IDPA competitive shooter, our premium leather holsters are hand-crafted in the USA using the highest quality vegetable-tanned leather from patriotic cows. Each leather holster is custom-tailored to your specific handgun for perfect fit and strong retention. The Independence uses a proprietary design to maximize retention, comfort, and ease of use.Featuring a double-layer shell, The Independence offers unparalleled rigidity, retention and protection against holster wear on your firearm. The inside layer is grain-side to protect your gun from the wear and tear caused by normal leather holsters. Other leather holsters use a flimsy single-layer shell with less rigidity and flesh-side interior that causes unnecessary holster wear on your beloved firearm.In addition, the OWB holster features a "tail fin" that pushes the firearm against your body to reduce printing. Featuring a proprietary belt-loop design, The Independence can be easily taken on or off in a jiffy. The rear belt-loop is made of a reinforced pvc-coated ballistic nylon and easily snaps open for quick deployment.At We The People Holsters, we love guns, and The Independence was designed with your handgun in mind. No other leather holster can even come close to the quality and features of The Independence. So throw away your crappy old leather holster, and give The Independence a try today!FeaturesProprietary design8 oz of full grain premium leatherHand-crafted for a perfect fit2 Layers of full grain premium leather for maximum durabilityInner layer offers protection against wear on your firearm3 retention points for maximum securityRear "tail fin" that pulls the gun tight against the bodySpecially designed reinforced belt loopWorks with any standard 1.5" belt
