Gordon Davis, or “G. Wm. Davis” as he stamped his work, was a groundbreaking leather craftsman. In the shooting world he was best known for his superb holster rigs, but he was also a renowned saddle-maker. In the ’60s and early ’70s he worked with two young fellows who started out making holsters in their garages, John Bianchi and Neale Perkins (Safariland). In 1975 Davis began making holsters carrying his own name. While his friends grew their businesses into the industry giants of today, Bianchi and Safariland, Gordon Davis chose to keep his business a 1-man operation, designing and crafting holsters and rigs one at a time. In 1981, Harper Creigh had the idea of a shooting sport dedicated to the Old West. He called two buddies, Bill Hahn and Gordon Davis. The three of them started the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS), and the sport known as cowboy action shooting.

Holster is in very good clean lightly used condition, all stitching is tight and it should provide years of dependable service.
