United States – March 17, 2022 —
A franchise as iconic as James Bond deserves a tribute. And that’s exactly why Craft Holsters, a custom leather holster maker, decided to craft a truly unique Goldfinger holster. But what makes this design so unique is that it actually is a leather holster made of 24 carat gold.
When Craft Holsters’ CEO was asked why the holster was named after Auric Goldfinger, one of the most infamous James Bond villains, the response was that the company’s logo is “Custom Holsters For Everyone” and that “it doesn’t really matter if someone is a hero or villain, everyone deserves to carry a truly custom holster”. To avoid any confusion, the company’s CEO later adds that the custom leather holsters Craft Holsters offers “aren’t really meant for villains, but mainly for responsible gun owners”.
What’s even more interesting than who the holster is named after is what this 24K gold holster looks like. When looked at from the back, one might say it’s a standard pancake holster made of black leather. However, this perception changes when the holster is turned as its frontside is almost fully coated with 24 carat gold. It’s only the holster’s opening that lacks the coating.
The reason for this is that “the Goldfinger holster isn’t only meant to look shiny, it’s also meant to be functional. That’s why the holster’s opening is reinforced with an extra layer of leather rather than sparkled with gold. This way, the holster not only looks great, but it also presents a safe and reliable carry option”, explains the master craftsman who works at Craft Holsters’ Custom Shop.
But there’s more to the Goldfinger holster than just its unique appearance and reinforced opening. According to Luke, Craft Holsters’ quality inspector, “this holster delivers everything a decent leather OWB holster should”. The most important feature of the holster is a very high natural retention, which was achieved thanks to the crafting techniques Craft Holsters uses. “All of our leather holsters are always molded on the exact replica of the pistol they are made for”. Luke also mentions that the company currently makes custom leather holsters for more than 1.300 different semi automatic pistols and revolvers and that each of them “fits like a glove”.
Although the Goldfinger holster is a one-of-a-kind undertaking, it’s not the only rare holster on Craft Holsters’ offer. For example, the company’s Custom Shop also pays tribute to another legendary character – John Wayne. The Goldfinger holster as well as the rest of Craft Holsters hand-engraved creations can be seen on the company’s Custom Shop website.
