B&R's Holster Maker Database

This list is taken from the appendix of Hidden In Plain Sight, and contains the name and address of most of the holster makers in the U.S. To find out prices and what they sell, order a copy of Hidden In Plain Sight.

As you can see, this sort of information can help you quickly determine which companies sell products that you are interested in, and whether or not a particular company's products are in your price range. Since many of these companies charge several dollars for their catalogs, this can save you far more than the price of the book in catalog fees alone!
