"Bilge Rat" Economy Holsters
I realize that not everyone desires (or is able) to spend a lot of money on a high-end holster. This is where the Bilge Rat line comes in!
​
These holsters don't have all the features of my regular offerings, but they're still solid, functional holsters, at a more accessible price.

Here's what's different with the Bilge Rat line:
-
The patterns have been simplified to ease production
-
No body shields
-
No reinforcement panels
-
Although there is some basic molding for proper retention, there is no detail boning
​
What hasn't changed:
-
They're still made out of premium Hermann Oak leather, tanned in the USA
-
They're still built with borderline-OCD attention to detail
-
The edges are still beveled and burnished (a step ignored on almost all low-end, and many mid-range holsters)
So, what's the catch?
They're strictly an in-stock item. What you see is what's available.
These are built in my spare time. I will list them on this page when they're available, but I will not be accepting Bilge Rat orders.
​
As with all in-stock items, shipping is on me (USPS to the lower 48 states). For shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or internationally, please contact me.
