Quality holsters

[God's Country]

I know it's a long shot, but here it is.

I live in Mckean County, I'm used to having to travel to do anything.
Does anybody know where quality leather holsters (Desantis,Galco, etc),
can be purchased in this area(an hour or less). Everything around here is junk or plastic. I'm the type that puts as much thought into holster choise as caliber choise. Some people have a tie rack I have holster rack(seriously). After my socks are on my gun and holster choise of the day is front and center.
Come on! I know somebody out there lives around here that's in the know.

Actually no clue who would sell such stuff nowadays in this area. My choice is whatever fits the particular pistol I have the best and rides well and will hide well too. How close are you to Williamsport?

I'm a good two hours + from Williamsport. I know there's a couple of shops out there but have never visited. I'm a bit closer to Grice's in Clearfield.
Their holster selection is pitiful considering they boast being the largest gun shop in Pa. They have two aisles of holsters one side is all Uncle Mikes (which I dislike)and the other side looked like the wolves picked it clean. I'll take whatever you have though for when I passing through.

Let us know if you find any brick and mortar store with a good holster selection. Usually, it's just as you say: a lot of Uncle Mikes and Fobus and maybe a handful of Galco or Desantis. Even a place as big as Cabela's has a limited selection (based on their website) -- mostly cowboy stuff.

Sadly, holsters are an Internet-based item.

ETA: you could work this from the other direction. Go to the websites of the larger holster makers, and use the "Dealer Locator" feature. I know Galco at least has such a feature. Then call those dealers and see what they stock.

Already been down that route. There is nothing less then 2 hours. I would make the trip if they had dependable stock. To make matters worse I'm left handed.
I accept the fact that nobody carries lefty stuff. I can't hardly even find righty stuff just to see how it fits. I could live with that. I was in the Pocono's a few weeks back and was in a gun shop that had a really large Galco collection. Lots of lefty stuff. The store owner's a lefty. I struck gold. Still bought nothing. He had about 4K in leather hanging there and had the same old stuff. I just don't see how you can sell a gun and not a compatable holster. It's almost like buying a 9mm and having to go to Walmart because he doesn't sell ammo. It's stupid. Everyone want's holsters, yet no one stocks them. You can't have everything, but if you can't find a holster for a G27 or a j frame why the hell are you in business.

Hey God's Country have you ever tried that Guns & Ammo store down in St. Marys?

G.C., I agree. I am right handed, and even down where I used to live near Berwick, Columbia Co. there were a few gun shops and their selections were horrible too. I have a Llama MAX I L/F 5" .45 A.C.P. and I got an Uncle Mike's Shoulder holster {new} and a Bianchi Shoulder holster {used} and an "El Cheapo" I.W.B. rig {new} and I like the cheapie one best. The tag is worn off the cheap holster from who made it, but it worked and I never had a problem with it. I even have an Eagle Leg Holster I got as a gift, right hand / leg.

Bradford Does exist. It's news to me. All I can think of is Elk County sports.
Different? If so good holsters?

Just looked it up. Yes it's where I thought. It's been a couple of years maybe I'll take another look.

[7Rugers]

Yup, Bradford is still here. I am quite sure it is Elk County Sports. Never been there but am hankering to go down and spend some $ on bullets, powder, and cases.
