Old West Gun HolsterFrontier Gunleather is the premiere creator of hand crafted leather products. Their old west gun holster is made just like it was back in the late 1800's with the same techniques and tools. Their founder, John Bianchi, spent forty years perfecting his craft and making a name for himself as the expert in his field. Prior to him starting his company the traditions and styles of the old west gun holster had been relegated to cheap copies, created by well meaning, but misinformed saddle makers. Early in the twentieth century the popularity of western movies and eventually television lead to a demand for more stylish designs. The gun holster went from just being a gun holder to a piece of art. The individual beauty of Frontier Gunleather's old west gun holster is something that can not be appreciated unless you know what you are talking about. Each one is hand crafted just like it was over a hundred years ago using the finest quality cowhide. John Bianchi began his trade in his garage in the early 1950's recreating holsters and gun belts like they were meant to be made. Each piece is made of premium quality full grain cowhide, fully leather lined and saddle stitched with the biggest quality custom made hardware and finished with the finest oils, waxes, and leather dressing. His designs for the old west gun holster and gun belt were something that had not been seen in the industry. He created totally new concepts that were way ahead of their time and completely revolutionized the way handguns are carried. In his career he has hand crafted millions of old west gun holsters and belts for movies, television, private collectors, western enthusiasts, and historical re-enactors. Prior to his retirement he even lead the design team that created the M-12 military holster that is now the official holster for all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Each old west gun holster is hand crafted using the old world techniques of twenty six highly skilled hand operations, seventeen precision hand tools, and three machine operations.
