Steven D.
Excellent quality and pricing. This is my second holster From Craft And I Will definitely be buying more Holsters from them in the near future.
Ed J.
This holster was delivered too tight, and not even close to proper size. Used denatured alcohol and placed gun in plastic, as stated in inclosed paperwork and plastic tore every time I tried to insert in holster, I also ordered belt which was supposed to be a matching belt as far as color matching to the holster, and this matching was very very poor as I do not match at all
Jack
Extremely beautiful and well-crafted holster. Fits quite well, and easily adjustable. Shipping was shockingly quick, and the delivery date was an “underpromise and overdeliver” situation. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great shoulder holster. Well-worth the price
