"Friend Red Nichols and holster collector/guru John Witty teamed for this astounding book. I'm fortunate enough to have encouraged Red to make this a photo-heavy coffee-table volume that takes the classic 'Packing Iron' book several levels higher. This honest American history will captivate you."
Roy Huntington, editor,
American Handgunner (Jan/Feb 2019)

ON THE COVER: TEXAS LAWMAN TOM THREEPERSONS' OWN COLT SINGLE ACTION IN .45 LC INSIDE HIS PROTOTYPE "THREEPERSONS STYLE" HOLSTER THAT WAS SO-NAMED BY SAM MYRES, AND A PAGE FROM TOM'S OWN SCRAPBOOK OF HIS CAREER.
"Holstory -- the Second Edition" is the intricate tale of the hundreds of men and women of the American saeculum that was 1905-1985 -- the historic period during which all the innovation in American gunleather was accomplished -- who revolutionized gunleather designs to suit the Twentieth century and the repeating cartridge pistol.
NOW THREE ADDITIONAL CHAPTERS have been added to outline the full story of holstory. All the new chapters have all-new colour images and finally fill in the blanks for the players whose fates had been left unknown -- until now.
'Holstory' is filled with biographical information about the 50 significant holster makers and the 250 players whose operations produced the seminal designs of modern gunleather that are still made today.
It's all accomplished in 250 full-size pages containing 90,000 words, 500 color images, and 1,000 footnotes in support.
By R.E.D. Nichols and John Witty.
