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.From their website:"Over the last 48 years I have had the privilege to work with and learn from some of the best craftsmen in the leather industry. Gordon, my last mentor and good friend, taught me how to build and design holsters at a master’s level. John Bianchi once told me that Gordon was the best holster craftsman he had ever known. Gordon and I worked side by side for six years. When he retired in 2006, I bought all his equipment and patterns and now carry on the Davis Leather tradition. While we lost Gordon in November of 2012, his best designs live on.Dave Cox"Davis leather is not accepting any new orders until further notice.If you could buy this holster today, it would cost $165.00.Holster is new in the original bag, and it should provide years of dependable service.
