As the definition of a “perfect” gun holster is relative to the end user, most people end up going through a trial and error process trying to find the best holster option for their individual needs. It’s important to understand that what works for one persona as a great CCW holster, may not not work at all for you.Don Hume Clip-on IWB Holster

Hopefully, some of the information that we plan to share here will help you avoid the “box” of holsters dilemma by making educated choices about the holsters that you buy. Some of the topics that we plan to cover include:

  • The different types of gun holsters
  • Common gun holster terminology
  • IWB holsters versus OWB holsters
  • Offbody carry

    I ordered a holster week before last and received it in two days and then I ordered a mag carrier last week and received it in two days. They were both good quality and fit perfectly.
    You guys must know somebody at the post office.
    Keep up the good work.

        I ordered a custom-built holster from you for my Commander 1911. I was gladly surprised when it came: it is a work of art and a perfect, smooth fit. It looks like someone really cared about both of these items, and may even have a Commander: it looks like every detail of it was thought-out before it was made. I’m coming back for more: I have a whole corral of 1911s that need this sort of attention!

    This comment is not about a product, but about the customer service that I received from both Gunners Alley and the Don Hume Company. I had a problem with a holster purchased in January 2017. I was calling to see if they could sell me a new clip. On a Wednesday, I spoke to Brad and he offered to contact Don Hume holster company for me. On Friday, I received a prepaid label from Shniece at Don Hume Company and I sent the holster to them. Within a week I received the holster back repaired and with no charge to me. Thank you Brad ,for your exceptional customer service. I plan on thanking Shniece as well.

    With the price of kydex holsters getting ridiculous….came across this MTR leather holster on Gunners Alley. Got it fast and it’s a handsome piece of leather that fits DB9 great and wears really comfortably. Will definitely make this my 1st stop for holsters in the future!

    I have purchased at least a hundred holsters over the last 30 years trying to find one I truly loved for the many pistols I have owned. This one took a little time to show up with all that is going on, but I can honestly say this product is hands down my favorite holster ever. I had a really hard time finding a small of the back holster for my Sig P365 with a Lima laser.
    This MTR custom holster is well constructed and sits perfectly on my body to be able to sit comfortably while wearing my gun. You will be my first choice from here on out when I need a new holster. Well done Gunner’s Alley!

    I just rec’d my second GA gunbelt. My first belt was still good after several years of use, just a bit scratched from wearing it every day, everywhere I went, even when I wasn’t in CCW mode. I think having a good gunbelt is essential to CCW wear- it can mean the difference between whether you do or don’t “pack” on the way out the door. GA work is A+. Do yourself a favor and invest in your safety by getting a good belt, and you won’t find a better deal than the GA belts.

    I purchased a Don Hume IWB in black that was supposed to be in stock, but they couldn’t find it when they went to pick it. Rather than leaving me hanging while it was backordered for who knows how long, the folks at Gunner’s Alley reached out to me to let me know what the issue was, told me they had a brown one in stock that they could send or I could just cancel. I had them send the brown one (it’s IWB, who cares!). I received it days later and could not be happier with it. Thank you Gunner’s Alley, excellent customer service is what separates the good companies from the pack.
