DeSantis Holsters

Founded by legendary holster maker, Gene DeSantis, DeSantis gun holsters is based in Amity, NY. Although Mr. DeSantis was making holsters in the late 1960's, the DeSantis holster company was formally started until 1972. Like many successful holster manufacturers, the company started out as a one man show where Mr. DeSantis produced gun holsters at his kitchen table. Initially, the focus was on law enforcement gear and off duty holsters, but the company also started focusing on the concealed carry crowd as well.

A bit of little known DeSantis history, Greg Kramer of Kramer Leather, was an early employee of DeSantis Holsters from 1970 to 1976. He left to pursue a career with the Post Office, and then later founded Kramer Leather.

Today, DeSantis offers a large selection of gun holsters and accessories in a number of materials and styles. Under the direction of Mr. DeSantis, the company has been a pioneer in terms of holster designs and improvements. For example:

• They were the first commercial holster maker to create a holster with a locking device integrated in the holster so a law enforcement officer could secure his weapon by running a handcuff through the trigger and security hole.  Over the years, this safety design has become a standard request for some federal law enforcement agencies.

• DeSantis was also one of the first holster companies to utilize ballistic nylon in holsters and create a pocket holster that used a tacky substance on the outside to keep the holster in place as the weapon was drawn. That design is called the Nemisis, and it remains on of their best sellers.

• They were also one of the first manufacturers to offer a tension screw on holsters.

Today, DeSantis has holster models and accessories that are in use worldwide by various military units, federal agencies, law enforcement departments, and armed civilians for self defense and concealed carry. In terms of leather, DeSantis offers a black color and tan color. Their kydex and nylon holsters are generally black in color, although their nylon military line also comes in various camo configurations as needed.

Should you decide that a DeSantis holster might be a possible option for you, know that they are backed by almost 40 years of holster making experience and a commitment to quality. I had a DeSantis model called a Cozy Partner, which was an IWB model I worn for almost 2 years straight. One day the snap-on button that attached the holster to the belt sheared off as I was removing the holster. I called DeSantis to see what my options were. They asked me to send it back on my dime, fixed it, and then shipped it back to me at no extra cost. Folks, that's service.
