Over forty years ago, Gene DeSantis meticulously crafted the first DeSantis GunHide holster at his kitchen table. Today, while the company has evolved into a global enterprise and embraced cutting-edge technologies, some things remain unchanged. DeSantis holsters are still constructed by skilled craftspeople, hand-built and shipped directly from our plant in the USA. Governed and owned by the DeSantis family, the enterprise operates with the same core values, distancing itself from faceless conglomerates. The DeSantis name, stamped on every single holster, symbolizes genuine craftsmanship and profound pride. For us at DeSantis, achieving concealed carry perfection is not just a slogan—it's a way of life.
