Analog\nwatches, classic cars\u2026and well-crafted gunleather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My latest\nsuch indulgence is a carry set \u2013 belt, holster, magazine pouch \u2013 from Master\u2019s\nHolsters in Richmond, VA. The quality of the leather the molding, the \u201cedging\u201d:\nall very, very good. What the company calls their Heavy Duty Bullhide Gunbelt\nis rigid and fits perfectly in the semi-pancake belt loops of the open top\nholster. The rigid belt and complimentary fitting of the holster\u2019s belt slots\nand their unique magazine pouch keep everything rigidly in the <em>exact <\/em>same spot where I put them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/MastersHolster_01-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6297\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/MastersHolster_01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/MastersHolster_01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/MastersHolster_01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/MastersHolster_01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption>Notice the niche for the bottom edge of attachment clip: ingenious and useful.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That\nmagazine pouch bears mention. It attaches with a clip, a particularly strong\none, with a protrusion at the bottom that fits into a special niche cut into\nthe back of the leather body of the pouch. Seems to hold rock solid.&nbsp; Fit is just right, for both pistol and\nmagazine. It will hold the magazine bullet noses forward (as most of us who are\nserious about it prefer), or to the rear. That\u2019s not just for contrarians: it\nallows you to reverse the pouch and carry it <em>between <\/em>belt and pants. That makes an already very concealable\nmagazine pouch hug tighter to the body for even more discretion, without the\ndiscomfort of it being inside the waistband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was\nvirtually no break-in required: after a just a couple of practice draws, the\nholster and I were old friends.&nbsp; It\u2019s\nalternately carrying a couple of my favorite Beretta 92 9mms with light-railed\nframes: a full size LTT from Ernest Langdon at Langdon Tactical Technologies,\nand a compact 92F done by Bill Wilson\u2019s team at Wilson Combat.&nbsp; (Yes, that classic traditional goodness\nagain.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Master\u2019s Holsters are surprisingly low priced for their quality, and delivery was very quick.
