Gene DeSantis hand-built the first DeSantis GunHide holster at his kitchen table over 40 years ago, and while much has changed since then, our commitment to quality and craftsmanship remains steadfast. We've grown into a global enterprise and harnessed the latest technologies, becoming the holster of choice for elite U.S. law enforcement and the military. Despite our growth, skilled craftspeople still construct our holsters by hand right here in the USA. Owned and operated by the DeSantis family, our enterprise proudly remains true to its roots. Every holster with the DeSantis name is crafted with genuine care and pride. Concealed carry perfection isn't just a slogan for us; it's a way of life at DeSantis.
