Kramer Holsters

Kramer Handgun Leather is owned and operated by Greg Kramer out of Tacoma, WA. Kramer has an interesting company history as Greg first got interested in the holster business by Gene DeSantis of DeSantis Holsters. As a matter of fact, in 1978, Greg Kramer was the only full-time holster maker that DeSantis had on the payroll.

Eventually Kramer and DeSantis parted ways with Kramer moving to upstate Washington. In 1983 Kramer decided to get back into the holster business on a part-time basis and launched a line of holsters called PRO Line Handgun Leather. If you keep your eyes open, there are still some of the older Kramer-Proline holsters still floating around. In 1989, Kramer turned it into a full time business and eventually changed the name to Kramer Handgun Leather due to a trademark dispute.

Greg Kramer is one of the few holster makers, both custom and production, who specializes in horsehide. While Kramer can does offer a cowhide line as well, he built the business up with a reputation for premier horsehide holsters. Why horsehide? Greg has always felt that, although horsehide was more difficult to work with, it produced the highest quality and most durable holsters on the market.

While that point has been debated over the years, there's no denying that Kramer horsehide holsters are some of the toughest on the market today. I have an MSP paddle that bought from Kramer in 1989, and it has been through hell over the last 20 years. I could probably polish that holster up and sell it as "slightly used" on any shooting forum any day of the week. His horsehide stuff is that tough.

In terms of holster designs, Greg came out with some really unique designs in the mid-1980's, and those designs haven't changed that much over the years. Greg's approach to change has been simple: why change what works? While nearly everything that Kramer produces works well, the Kramer #2 IWB, #3 IWB, and MSP Paddle are probably the best sellers in his line.

During my plainclothes law enforcement career, I tried nearly every paddle holster on the market, but nothing came close to the comfort and functionality of the MSP Paddle. The design of the #3 IWB has been copied and cloned over the years since it was released, which is a testament to it's performance.
