Founded in 2017 by James, SouthWestHolsters emerged from a simple yet powerful idea: to craft a superior holster. Dissatisfied with the options available in South Africa at the time, James took matters into his own hands. Equipping himself with the necessary tools, he began creating holsters that exceeded his own expectations. What started as a personal pursuit soon evolved as friends sought James to fashion custom holsters for them, leading to a gradual shift from his days of tattooing to a full-time dedication to holster craftsmanship.

​

Over the years, James has recognized the potential for something greater. The expansion of SouthWestHolsters in 2020 transformed the venture into a large-scale operation. Today, SouthWestHolsters boasts a streamlined production process, ensuring that a broader range of high-quality holsters is readily available not only across South Africa but soon to enthusiasts overseas.

​

At the heart of SouthWestHolsters is a commitment to the belief that "it can be better." We take pride in the evolution of our holsters and the unwavering support from those who have been with us from the beginning and those who join us in the future. We invite everyone to experience the excellence we've crafted, driven by a simple idea that has transformed into a testament of dedication and quality.
