Palmetto Leather Works

Palmetto Leather Works is the most popular custom holster shop in the southern United States. Founded in 2014 by brothers Eric and Matt Humphries in Columbia, South Carolina, the shop builds every holster by hand—no mass production, no shortcuts. Each piece that leaves the workshop is made in the USA.

Whether you're carrying a Beretta, Browning, Colt, Glock, Heckler & Koch, Kahr, Kel-Tec, Ruger, SCCY, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Springfield, Staccato 2011, Taurus, Walther, or Wilson Combat, Palmetto Leather Works has a holster that fits. The shop is the official holster maker for Wilson Combat.

The catalog runs deep across multiple carry positions and use cases:

• •Concealed Carry: Appendix, Lo Pro Elite, Pocket, Single Clip, Single Shoulder, Undercover Professional
• •Range & Training: Range Tac, Pinnacle
• •Duty & Tactical: Chest Rig, Double Shoulder, Savanna
• •Competition: Model 1, Model 2, Model 3, Model 4

Most styles are built for multiple firearms. For example, the Range Tac style runs $157.30 and is available for Beretta, Browning, Colt, Glock, H&K, Kahr, Kel-Tec, Ruger, SCCY, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Springfield, Staccato 2011, and Wilson Combat platforms.

"Our old school service and top quality merchandise sets us apart from other holster shops. We work closely with our customers to ensure we create exactly what they need, using comfort and craftsmanship when designing holsters."

Every holster is a custom order. There's no inventory sitting on shelves—you're getting something built for your exact specifications. The shop also offers holster accessories and tactical apparel to complement the core leather offerings.

While this is custom work, Palmetto Leather Works positions itself around competitive pricing. Range Tac styles start at $157.30. The "Ready To Ship" section offers options for faster delivery than typical made-to-order timelines.

Based in Columbia, South Carolina, Palmetto Leather Works operates online at palmettoleather.com. The shop handles shipping, refunds, and customer service through the website. Custom leather work means lead times vary—check the site for current turnaround.

In a market flooded with offshore-made holsters and cookie-cutter designs, Palmetto Leather Works differentiates on American handcraftsmanship, brand coverage (16+ manufacturers), and fit precision. The founders work directly with customers to nail the details—retention, draw angle, comfort—that separate a good holster from one that actually gets carried.
