"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,

"Holstory" is the complex tale of the hundreds of men and women of the American saeculum 1905-1985 - the historic period when all the innovation in American gunleather was accomplished - who revolutionized gunleather designs to suit the Twentieth century and the repeating cartridge pistol.
Think of the FBI's 'Jelly' Bryce; who drew his S&W .44 from his Myres' holster so quickly in 1934 that all five shots were in a gangster's head before the other man could pull the trigger.
'Holstory ' is filled with biographical information about the fifty significant holster makers whose companies produced the seminal designs of modern gunleather - and are still made today.
It's all accomplished in 224 full-size pages containing 74,000 words, 360 color images, and 1,100 footnotes in support.
By R.E.D. Nichols and John Witty.
