Let customers speak for us
Great pattern and easy to follow instructions.
This pattern, like the other 5-6 I’ve purchased from them are excellent. The final product fits perfect with my holster allowing me to carry extra items. I have been using this maker for the past 6 months. They always answer my questions quickly and have the technical expertise when it comes to the gun I’m working on.
I’m new to holster-making. In fact, I have not made one before. I have, however, been making leather items for the past 10yrs, sometimes with a pattern. The Sig P365 pattern is excellent, true to fit and always for some modifications (lining). The end-user, NH Sheriffs dept, loves the style and fit, as the holster does not grab at the body. I used a 9oz veg-tan leather with Fiebings black dye and finished with resolene (to avoid bleed-off) and 3 coats of Smith’s wax.
I was a little pushy about the amount of time it took to get my holster but finally realized that true craftsmanship takes more time! I’m thoroughly impressed with the quality and fit, that’s to Tim at Snake River!
A little tight but with some break in procedures it fits. Good quality cheap price.
Excellent quality, great customer service, well built!! Would recommend any of Tim’s leather products to anyone!! He did handmade items for me upon request!! Great prices as well !!!

Thank you, look forward to using.
very cool design
Love this design for holsters and knife sheaths.
Best pattern for the fit! Love the holster.
First I like the holster because it’s a IWB holster which I prefer for security reasons and I don’t actually feel the weight of my firearm. Next I’m able to use it for my various pistols that are comparable in size and the design is nice.
