Introducing a new line of economy holsters - Bilge Rat, by Privateer


I realize that not everyone can (or wants to) spend a lot of money on a high-end holster. This is where the Bilge Rat line comes in!


These holsters don't have all the features of my regular offerings, but they're still solid, functional holsters, at a more accessible price.

Here's what's different with the Bilge Rat line:
  • The patterns have been simplified to ease production

  • No body shields

  • No reinforcement panels

  • Although there is some basic molding for proper retention, there is no detail boning

What hasn't changed:
  • They're still made out of premium Hermann Oak leather, tanned in the USA

  • They're still build with borderline-OCD attention to detail

  • The edges are still beveled and burnished (a step ignored on almost all low-end, and many mid-range holsters)

So, what's the catch?

These are strictly in-stock items. What you see listed is what's available.

These are built in my spare time. I will list them on the Bilge Rat page when they're available, but I will not be accepting orders for Bilge Rat holsters.


As with all in-stock items, shipping is on me (USPS to the lower 48 states). For shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or internationally, please contact me.

Terms of use: Firearms are inherently dangerous tools, and the end user assumes all risks and responsibilities that go hand-in-hand with carrying a firearm. It is your responsibility to get trained in the safe and proper use of your firearm. Firearms should always be treated as if they were loaded. When practicing presentation from a holster, make certain that the firearm is unloaded. Using a firearm in a holster it wasn't designed to fit can be a safety concern.

Leather is an organic substance, and is therefore somewhat unpredictable. After all, cows are unique creatures too. Part of what makes leather so beautiful is its random grain, and although I try to avoid any scars or marks, sometimes those marks don't really show through until after the piece is shaped and molded. I use the highest-grade leather available, so marks are less common, but still may crop up from time to time.
