  • The Triskel from Garrity’s Gunleather

    WYSIWYG (“Whissy Wig”) is a commonly used acronym for “What You See IS What You Get.” It is not true for this latest art form in functional leather from Mark Garrity.  We initially see a single holster.  What we get is essentially three holsters in one.

  • Two Ross Holsters for the Browning Hi Power

    I recently received two Ross Leather, Inc., holsters for the Browning Hi Power.  Both are tan, suede-lined, and have thumb break retention. Both of these Ross Leather holsters are for the Browning Hi Power and both are comfortable, securely hold the gun, and conceal well.  It’s not a problem to conceal a Hi Power with…
