Description

The isn't just a holster; it's part of American history.

With the original snap-off design we invented over 50 years ago, it revolutionized the way we carry. This holster is the reason we became America's top choice in leather holsters, favored by legends like John Wayne and featured in iconic films such as The Shootist, Gunsmoke, The Walking Dead, and Lone Ranger. When you think of the Old West, you think of the Snap-Off Belt Holster.

You can quickly snap this holster on or off you without having to remove your belt, keeping you ready for whatever the day throws your way. It hugs your side just right, while ensuring your firearm stays put, whether you're hopping on a horse or leaning over a fence. With our rugged, full-grain American steerhide leather, this holster doesn’t just hold up—it gets better with every adventure, resisting wear and protecting your firearm from the elements. For those chasing the classic cowboy style with unmatched comfort, this is the holster for you.

The Hunter Difference

100% American Steerhide Leather

100% American Steerhide Leather

Our holsters are crafted from 100% full grain northern U.S. steerhide, chosen by hand and vegetable-tanned. Unlike competitors' stretch-prone, oily Indian Water Buffalo leather, ours is thick and durable thanks to the rigorous northern climates that strengthen our cattle.

It's not just any leather; it's the finest holster material money can buy.

Built to Last Generations

Built to Last Generations

From our hands to yours since 1952, our holsters are built to last generations. The unbeatable thickness and strength of our U.S. Steerhide ensures each holster doesn’t just last—it matures, developing a unique, handsome patina that captures stories and memories as enduring as the leather itself.

This is more than craftsmanship; it’s a legacy, meant to be passed down from generation to generation.

20% Thicker Leather: A Difference You Can Feel

20% Thicker Leather: A Difference You Can Feel

Our 9-10 oz leather cut is 20% thicker than the 6-7 oz industry norm, offering a difference you can truly feel. This added thickness means it's more durable, lasts longer, and simply feels better in your hands. We don’t compromise with thinner leather; our holsters are built to stand the test of time and elevate your daily experience.

Glove-Like Fit, Every Time

Glove-Like Fit, Every Time

This multi-fit holster is wet-molded and block-formed, arriving ready to accept your firearm – unlike the flat, unready ones from competitors. Honing our traditional pressure-forming technique for over 70 years, we guarantee holsters that keep their shape and effectiveness. Our use of 20-66 tons of pressure to form holsters means we can attain a level of precision and quality of fit that our competitors' vacuum forming process simply cannot match.

The Old-Fashioned Way of Holster Making

The Old-Fashioned Way of Holster Making

We craft our holsters the old-fashioned way— by hand, using techniques that outfitted legends like John Wayne. In an era dominated by mass manufacturing machinery, our handcrafted approach distinguishes every holster as a masterpiece of leatherwork. With decades of experience, our craftsmen can ensure a level of detail and durability that machines can't match. 

Made in America Since 1952

Rooted in over 70 years of tradition, The Hunter Company continues to produce the finest leather holsters right the heart of Westminster, Colorado. Our commitment to American craftsmanship and agriculture isn't just about national pride—it guarantees a holster made with care and precision that's only possible from generations of expertise.
