About Adams Holsters
|
My name is Luke Adams. I've been involved with firearms all of my life. In 2009 I started making holsters. Firearms have always been a passion for me, and that was because of my family. My grandfather, Don, was a peace officer and he passed on many lessons to my father, Dave, who has been involved with firearms his entire life. If you met a gentleman at a gun show with my holsters, chances are that's him. |

| I began carrying a concealed handgun regularly around 2004 and went down the path many have in trying to find a comfortable way to carry. I've owned countless holsters of all sorts of designs and materials from leather to Kydex and generally found that they didn't solve the problem of a comfortable way to carry daily. I decided rather than spending more money on holsters that I just couldn't seem to get to work that I would build some of my own. My first few holsters were pretty rough around the edges but their focus was on comfort rather than looks. As I made more holsters I found better ways to change my designs and took inspiration from some of the other successful holster makers on the market. I have found that there are quite a few different ways to fold leather, Kydex, or cloth to make a holster but most of the time inspiration came from someone else's ideas. If you read down to the bottom of this page I will put up a list of other holster makers that I have found inspiration in either their designs or the way they make holsters. I've also read countless pages of advice on forums and heard quite a bit of it in person from guys testing out my gear. I've always been a do-it-yourself kind of guy, so I started making some holsters for myself. Soon I was making them for friends and family, and then for other poeple. |

Issac Newton's old quote that "A dwarf on a giant's shoulders sees farther of the two" comes into play here. There are only so many ways a holster maker can fold and sew a piece of leather. Here is a list of great holster makers that I've taken inspiration from over the years. They aren't in any particular order. They all make excellent gear. |

I also wanted to thank all the guys out there who helped and are helping me test new designs.
