The Story of Smith & Wesson Holsters

Smith & Wesson

Smith & Wesson is a producer of various firearms based in the United States. It has quite long tradition in manufacturing of high quality firearms of a worldwide success. Its corporate headquarters is based in Springfield, Massachusetts in the USA. The S&W is offering a wide range of various products, such as shooting and field rests, gunsmithing tools, hearing protection, gun vises, vault accessories and ammo tumblers. This company has introduced even over 300 variations of accessories products. This company, currently known as the Smith & Wesson was founded by Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson. Leaders of the Smith & Wesson had to faced with their financial difficulties, however they were forced to sell their company to a shirt producer by the name of Oliver Winchester. In 1866, using the original lever action design created by the Smith & Wesson, Winchester’s company emerged as the famous Winchester Repeating Arms Co. The Smith & Wesson formed their second partnership in 1856 to manufacture a small revolver which was designed to fire the Rimfire cartridge they patented in 1854. The Smith & Wesson secured their patents for the revolver to prevent other producers from producing a cartridge revolver what was giving the young company a very lucrative business. Actually, the two most important customers for the new revolver were the United States Cavalry, that purchased 1,000 units for usage on the Western Frontier and the Russian Imperial Government.

I have a couple of Craft Holsters for my On & Off duty full size -5"-1911 which I carry daily. I recently purchased this holster for On Duty plain clothes work . ( replacing my Blackhawk )It is well made and of good quality leather as is all the other holsters I have purchased. It is very comfortable, secure ,holds close to the body with a small print for a 1911 and easy to secure a a good grip on the draw. I have only one issue with it , when re-holstering I find I must look down to align & engage the thumb Snap to secure the weapon. Not sure if Craft can improve on that given the style of this model . However I still intend on using it On Duty ( practice the re-holstering)
