A good holster should fit and help retain
your weapon, cover the trigger and trigger
guard, and be stiff enough to stay open for
easy one-handed reholstering. Whether you
carry a gun every day or only when you go to
the range, a good holster can make all the
difference in comfort and utility.

Bianchi
Bianchi International is recognized by
shooting enthusiasts and
professionals as the largest leading
designer/manufacturer of innovative, high
quality
handgun holsters and accessories. The
company was started by John Bianchi
forty-five years ago, who was then a
full time
police officer in Southern
California. Over the years, the company grew
to worldwide prominence through its
innovative holster designs and John's
ingenious, and sometimes unconventional
marketing strategies. Although Bianchi
retired several years ago from the company
he founded, his mark is left on a wide range
of increasingly diversified and unique
Bianchi holsters and accessories, available
worldwide. Now as then, the Bianchi vision
and commitment to innovative
product design and handcrafting with
the utmost care from the finest materials,
continue to set new standards in the
industry. Headquartered in Temecula,
California, the Bianchi International
complex includes more than 70,000 square
feet of research, design, development,
manufacturing and support facilities. Fueled
by continuing growth, an additional 40,000
square foot manufacturing facility is
located in Imperial Valley, California.
Bianchi's primary markets are law
enforcement, military and sporting; and its
products are sold globally through dealers
and distributors. Bianchi's many patented
innovations have aggressively and
consistently set the pace in holster
technology. It was Bianchi's heritage and
tradition in leather holsters and
accessories that put the company on the map.
Yet, while Bianchi's reputation for
exceptional leather products prevails,
Bianchi history also includes revolutionary
holster design in
ballistic weave nylon and other
high-performance man-made materials. Bianchi
is capable of filling large order
requirements on tight schedules, while
employing the most advanced production and
quality assurance techniques in the
industry.
Fobus
Fobus holsters are the next wave in
tactical holsters. Fobus holsters
feature passive retention with rapid
deployment, are
combat tested, perform in all
situations and are virtually indestructable.
A 100% lifetime guarantee stands behind each

Galco
Galco International was founded by Richard
N. Gallagher in 1969 as a small
family business in Chicago, Illinois.
Known then as "The Original Jackass Leather
Company", Gallagher specialized in
holsters constructed of horsehide.
Most branches of the
military, federal law enforcement,
and most local law enforcement agencies have
put Galco holsters to work for them.
Likewise civilians have found Galco to
represent the highest quality the industry
has to offer. From our Premium saddle
leather, Ballistic nylon, and of course
horsehide, to the designs that have made
Galco famous, Galco continues to be "for
those who demand the best... and know the
difference."
Uncle Mikes
Allison P. "Uncle Mike" Michaels founded
Michaels of Oregon in 1947 when he began
manufacturing sling swivels for the
gunsmith trade. Starting out in his
home, Uncle Mike also made such items as
triggerguards and floorplates for
conversions of military
rifles, but his main stock in trade
was swivels. Michaels of Oregon became an
entirely different company when, in 1982,
the Sidekick® holster was introduced,
putting the company into the handgun
accessory business for the first time. In
what became known as the "Nylon Holster
Revolution," the Sidekick holster soon
displaced leather holsters as the primary
vehicle for carrying a handgun.
