Dragon Leatherworks Talon Holster Review…

Dennis at Dragon Leatherworks worked with me on a Talon holster for my C&S 1911 and it came in last week. Let me say first off, the work is outstanding!!! All the seams are even, the stiching is excellent with no flaws, and the ‘scollop’ I wanted as a finger guide is in the right place, even though it was only discussed over the phone. Dennis’ attention to detail is excellent, as is the fit and finish. I am looking at this holster as a daily wear, so no fancy work was requested.

Wearing the pistol the last two days has confirmed that it is a bit tight (expected in a new holster), and it rides comfortably without poking me and it also doesn’t poke the seat in the truck (which I consider a plus)!

The draw is smooth (and should loosen up a bit after wearing in), one handed reholster is easy, without having to “hunt” for the holster. In other words, everything I asked for, I got!!!

Another thing I would like to compliment Dennis on is the inclusion of both warranty paperwork AND a safety and usage disclaimer; he takes the time to remind folks of things, like the 4 rules, testing with an UNLOADED gun, etc. Dennis is one of the new young guns on the holster scene, and based on the quality I see here, I’d strongly recommend him for holsters!!! And I tried a couple of pics with it on, but they were reversed/hand was in the picture… etc… sorry…

  1. NICE! I will have to get him to make me one for my Defender….. If it ever gets here! So they still make pistols at Colt or what!?!?!?!

  2. I loved mine and was beyond tickled to see my picture of it on his banner for the new website. That model? No, not me. . really, stunt double.

  3. There you go, give it some time to wear in, I’m sure you’ll find it’s a wonderful fit; just like any leather product, they get better with age. Looks like fine work indeed.

    BZ- Yep, I even have some ‘oil’ for it, but I think it will wear in fine!
