Gene DeSantis crafted the first DeSantis GunHide holster at his kitchen table over four decades ago. While much has evolved since then—expanding into a global enterprise, incorporating cutting-edge technologies, and becoming the preferred choice for elite U.S. law enforcement and the U.S. military—some things remain unchanged. Our skilled craftspeople continue to handcraft each holster, and every product is built and shipped from our U.S. plant. Despite growth, the DeSantis family still owns and operates the company, steering it with the same passion and pride since day one. The DeSantis name represents real people and a commitment to quality, which is why "concealed carry perfection" is more than just a slogan; it's a way of life at DeSantis.
