About Me
Hi, I am Jim Ryan and I run J.R. Customs Holsters.
JRC is a custom, one man shop. All of our Horsehide holsters are individually crafted one at a time, to order. I literally do all operations, including sewing by hand. Special individual care is given to each holster, being sure to provide the customer with not only a supremely functional holster, but an individual work of art.
My professional background has always been related to firearms. Starting out as a Small Arms Repairman in the Army, I went on to pistolsmithing and custom rifle building as a young man. Later in life, I was involved in the manufacture of Class 3 weapons, such as Suppressors, Machineguns, etc. All the while I played around with holsters more as a hobby. That said, I mostly carried my pistols in leather from Ken Null and Bruce Nelson.
I finally decided to take the plunge a while back and take my leatherwork more seriously and started doing rigs for myself and friends. Of course, you know how things go from there.
