I love leather holsters. I do not go inside the waistband. To me that is cruel and unusual punishment. Yes, I am a FUDD, but leather lasts. With a 1911, it just seems fitting to use a leather holster. I mostly carry a G19 these days but like it on my hip where I have worn all my guns. I do have a Tagua. It has taken a beating, still works 100%. I live on a ranch in South Texas. This is rough country and the plastic holsters? They do not last. Leather get scratched, hit, etc., no problem. Some Bick4 leather conditioner twice a year and it should last longer than I will. Leather requires conditioning and cleaning. Saddle soap, wipe, let it dry, then conditioner. Great for your work boots, holsters, scabbards for carbines and rifles, saddles, tack, ball gloves, luggage, even your wife's purse. Take care of your leather.

I'd love to get a ole school Miami vice style shoulder rig for my 1911

Excellent video; I am again impressed with Tauga, both their quality and their design ingenuousness.

Nice looking holsters, but the 1911 looks so good that it makes most holsters look good!

I appreciate that the holster shown can accommodate an optic. Unusual for a 1911 holster. KnifeMaker

Nice shoulder rig. As a bigger guy with love handles, shoulder rigs are the most comfortable way to conceal carry for me. Thanks for the video HR!

I have that last holster in your video and used it originally for my G19X before getting my Vedder. Then when I transitioned to carrying a 1911, I used it for my 1911 quite effectively for a while.

Tagua - Absolutely magnificent customer service and very good and long-lasting products made of top quality materials with much attention to details!

I have 4 Tagua holsters and they work great. They hold up well and they are very reasonably priced. I just ordered one for my Sig V-Tac and it should be here in a few days.

I'll try one of these now that I see how they it a real person. Thanks HR.

Tagua manufactures a number of different holsters for a number of different guns, all at popular prices. I am carrying my G-45 in one right now!

Those holsters look great H.R., I will check them out!

You had me at the shoulder rigs again, Chief.

I've used nearly every conceivable type of holster and have a crate full of them now gathering dust. Here's my take. I don't like IWB holsters because I find them uncomfortable. I don't like belt clips because they either rub me or provide less stability than belt loop types. I tried using a soft holster that wrapped around the body and was secured by Velcro, but it lacked a thumb-break, so the pistol fell out when I stomped too hard. For discreet carry I prefer pocket holsters (often slow to use) and belt holsters with thumb-breaks (bulky and require a vest or jacket to hide them). For hunting or extended field carry I find flap holsters are the most comfortable and protective. If I'm carrying a long gun, a cross-draw holster works best because it does not interfere with the long gun. I own some cowboy rigs, but I see no practical use for them and some rigs are quite heavy. I've always found shoulder holsters uncomfortable over time, so I've stopped using them.

Love the leather, alot more comfortable and personal.

There’s nothing like a well made leather holster thanks HR !

Excellent Review and Video! 🙂 I have quite a few Tagua Holsters and like them! 🙂

GREAT video, VERY informative !! - Thanks Again for you generosity to share your vast experiences. I REALLY enjoy watching.

I have a 1791 holster that is very similar in size to the 4-1010, just doesn’t have all the OWB options. I wear my Kimber Stainless Pro II appendix style with the 1791. All the holsters you showed looked like they would work very nicely.

Very nice holsters , I may have to order a couple , thanks

These are nice holsters and I was looking at a Tagua holster for my pistol with a red dot. Actually the one you had your Hellcat in that I was looking at. Thanks for the video and have a great day.

Another great and informative video. I hadn't heard of this holster brand until now. I'll have to check them out. Thanks for the videos.

Thanks HR, very good looking holsters!

Solid review HR. Thanks.

I am very interested in the holster that Officer Funk had a 1911 in. That ambidextrous model. He had something similar with his Steyer M9 (I've wanted a Steyer M9 ever since Skyfall, everybody is sleeping on those Steyers) on a previous video. That last holster reminds me a lot of a couple 1791 holsters I use for my own Hellcat. That same 1791 holster that's made to fit my Hellcat also fits my PX4 duty sized and sub-compact. Just a great holster design. Lots of options. Thanks for making me aware of this company sir.

I just received my tagua holster for my 5 inch 1911. I think it is absolutely nice and a great value for the money. I got the model with the clips for both iwb and owb. Why isnt this channel bigger!? Very informative.

Good stuff. Those do seem to be very reasonably priced for quality leather. I’m set on holsters for my carry rotation though. I might have to buy another pistol to justify buying a new holster. 🤔

Excellent professional presentation as always. Semper Fi, Jarhead!

Nice rig ! Thanks

I've got no use for a 1911 holster. But I will still enjoy watching your video and giving a thumbs up!

Thanks HR.

I love the iwb holster

I wish these companies would make the holster long enough. I really hate that the slide sticks out the bottom of the holster

Kool video, Great leather holsters. Very Well done, Thanks 👍

If it ever gets loose, soak it in water, shove your gun in it & let it dry in the sun. Of course oil your gun good. That is what I do on the holsters I make & people are always commenting about how the retention is on them.

Just checked "the Box" and found I have two of their holsters. One is a sort of minimal belt slide for my 1911 and it has been just outstanding!!!! The other is for several models of single stack guns and it has a, in my opinion, fatal flaw. The rear of the holster is cut so that blow or a hard press can and does come into contact with the magazine release button on some of the guns it is listed to fit. In other words, it is cut so that pressure applied to the rear of the holster can easily result in popping out your mag just enough to turn your gun into a single shot. This has caused me to not use that holster at all. Too bad, looks good and feels comfortable, but...

Picked one up for my colt and a second for my beretta 👍🏼

Nice, easy to follow video.

What are your comments on thumb breaks? I like them, seem to make sense from a retention as well as safety standpoint.

Got too many holsters over the years lol.. nowdays? I use the old WW2 tanker for out in the boonies

I have a Tagua for my 1911 only gripe is I’m getting horrible holster wear they should line the inse with a felt or something

In over 35 years carrying a handgun professionally, I have found that any holster that is make to be used it different ways was never a good option. ( Jack of all trades master of none). I’ve found that a dedicated holster that’s only made to wear in a single position conceals the handgun much better and in all reality it’s best to carry in the same position ( muscle memory) you don’t want to have to remember where you carry you gun in a SHTF situation.

I also don’t like that holsters angle the pistol grip forward very uncomfortable for fast draw I like mine straight or angled back

👍👍some very nice holsters. That last one you showed using your hellcat it also said it fit a s&w shield 9mm ez which is my carry gun. My question is can that hook on the outside be removed since I would never carry IWB. Thanks for the video .

Hey Chief that inside the waistband model. The removable clips can they be put on backside of holster to use for outside waistband? It's nice to have the option if you need to grab and go in a hurry for whatever reason. The same also goes for the last one with the single clip.

I really appreciate your videos hrfunk. They are of great quality and detail. Thank you HR!!

I've only had a couple of "Tagua" holsters, but wasn't happy with them. I think "Galco" is good, but NOT as good as they seem to think "Price Wise". "I" like "Triple K", "DeSantis", "Bianchi" and "Azula".(Azula has a great "Seated Cross Draw" holster)

👍

Do you think that 4010 would work as a crossdraw for the Kimber Micro-9?

HR, I got a message the other day that I had won a Tagua holster. Is that for real, or is it a scam? Thanks. Zeke

Would any of these holsters accomodate the Tisas 1911A1 ?

I've had 2 of this brand holsters, threw them both in trash, total junk.

Now that you passed the 50K sub mark you get to be trolled. And your visibility is up. Only downside is the toob sees that too. Officer Greg got demonetized and said other firearm content has also. It appears that self censoring will need to continue a bit longer. Congrats on your rise to fame and fortune. Maybe on the fortune part.

I don't like anything you've shown
