John and Matt have been making our holsters for a decade and design it if it's not in the catalog . Sad Mr. Bianchi went to his reward but you won't find a finer more reliable holster on the market . I'm ordering another one next week . If you want a cheap holster try Academy . It's only your life at stake.

We are lucky to have this amazing store in the desert. John Bianchi is the legendary father of gunleather. His store creates beautiful work. I needed two custom holsters to accommodate handguns with laser sights. John designed exactly what I needed and his shop created two beautiful holsters in two days. Looked great and secured my handguns perfectly. I felt the cost was VERY reasonable given the very high-quality and custom design. If you carry a gun due to your profession or for personal protect, you know the importance of the right holster. You really can't find the proper holster on Amazon; Frontier Gunleather will craft exactly what you need. And as a great bonus you might wind up meeting John Bianchi in the process.

Amazing place! Everything in here is absolutely beautiful. These guys will measure you, measure your gun and build you a holster that is made special just for you! You can have the coolest holster in the desert made by these guys, they are legends here! I am so excited to pick up my order. Just imagine, John Bianchi made my holster! What a lucky girl I am!

I was very excited when I learned about this shop and waited until my Son was visiting to go since he has been looking for a custom holster. We both walked in with the thought of ordering 2 or 3 holsters each. We were greeted by a nice fellow who works there ( not John Bianchi). Fist off my Son explained what he was looking for and the guy says "that's gonna be really expensive" we say OK, how much? The guy says "$500" and my Son said, "I'm good with that" then the guy immediately says "well, actually it's going to over $1000, your talking about a weeks worth of work" Fine my Son says, he's been planning this a long time. Then the guy says "on second thought, we really don't have time, I don't want to take on a custom order. So the special trip would not be a complete waste of our time, and they apparently don't do anything custom or that you can't buy online here, I looked around for anything I could use. They have a table with a sign that says "show samples, great deals" or something close to that. I found one small IWB slide holster that was left handed, perfect. I ask the guy how much? He walked over, picked up a catalog looks and says $48. I look at it again and he says "actually it's $54" At this point, my Son and I both realized this gentleman just wanted us to leave so he could get back to whatever he was doing when we interrupted him. Oh well.

EDIT FOR OWNER RESPONSE: I DID BRING IT UP. I bought a sling first. "The Long Shot". I can see from the pics it is made of much better material now. It is really lame, especially for the cost. I called them. I was offered a gift certificate. So I made the mistake of ordering a second item. The "Shotshell Belt". I wound up paying for over 1/2 of the cost, so probably $100 bucks.

Great place as I dabble in the arts myself, I was overcome by the fine craftsmanship and smell of the leather products. One of the men that was in gave me a tour after we talked about what I do myself. He let me play around with the aluminum gun dummy's which I was obsessed with. He showed me all of the equipment and their leather stash of which I was extremely jealous. He shared with me their techniques of making the holsters and such and showed me the catalog after I asked him about how much a holster for my Dan Wesson 44 mag, which has a 10 inch barrel, making is hard to find holsters for it. Great place and I highly recommend

I am shocked that the other reviewers don't understand where they have visited. Walking into this store and running into John Bianchi to spec out your holster purchase is like accidentally running into Enzo Ferrari, Samuel Colt or John Browning. He's not only an artist, he is a bigger than life legend to cops and special forces. He could not have been nicer and more down to earth, despite his reverence from law enforcement of my day (1970s - 1980s). I am no fan of plastic guns and synthetic mass produced holsters. I want hand made sturdy leather holster wear like that I carried, under his name, on duty. Even if you have no idea what John Bianchi means to us, old guard, his holsters are still the finest anywhere. Just talking to him about firearms is like jamming with Paul McCartney. I own some very rare sidearms, for which I can't find any holsters from the factory manufacturers. I now am about to be able to own holsters for them that are as significant as the firearms themselves. Major General John Bianchi is an iconic link to my happiest days and I'll be ordering his custom holsters for all of my carry sidearms. UPDATE: I have ordered and received a half dozen holsters now and the craftsmanship is amazing. The leather is thick and each holster is handmade to fit some very rare sidearms. These holsters now are the only ones I wear for my carry pieces. They conceal well, draw well and protect the finish of my blue steel 3" Python.

Stopped in for a holster, left with two and a belt...all custom made! This is a real leather shop with actual skilled craftsmen. The Legend John Bianchi was in and guided me to the best holster for my needs. Placed my order and 2 days later I received a call to pick it up. Pricing was comparable to any other quality holster ordered online but you can't replace the overall experience.

I dropped in expecting to get a brush off for a custom phone case I wanted but Matt was able to make it better than I expected. His quality isn't anything like the crap you find at tourist traps in Mexico. I couldn't believe how high end the finished case looked! Matt didn't try to gouge me on the price either. I have since had 3 belts and a holster made by Matt. I can't recommend this place enough if you need some custom leather.
