Gene DeSantis hand built the first DeSantis GunHide holster at his kitchen table over 40 years ago. A lot has changed since then: the DeSantis company has grown into a global enterprise; they ve harnessed the latest technologies; they are the holster of choice for elite U.S. law enforcement and the U.S. military. What hasn t changed? Skilled craftspeople still construct their holsters by hand. They still build and ship from their plant in the USA. The enterprise is still owned and run by the DeSantis family; not some faceless conglomerate. There are real people and deep pride behind the DeSantis name stamped on every single holster. Concealed carry perfection isn t just a slogan; its a way of life for DeSantis.
