Default Good quality leather holster

New pistol on the way. Kimber pro carry 2. 9mm. Looking for a good quality leather holster/maybe gun belt but want to support a local business or canadian Co if possible. Anyone know of a good maker?

Thanks all

I've previously seen some posts of nice work by AO member Coho911. He used to have a signature line noting "Yes, I am a leather worker" or such, I noticed that's not there anymore so perhaps he's not doing it as much? I love these scabbards he did:

Default Zimmer

How does Zimmer form the holster? Does he borrow your pistol?

How do you contact him?

Cost?

No, he has dummy guns. It's been a while but I think I paid 80 or $90 for the IDPA holster.
