About Us

Founder Bob Mernickle started making a holster for himself to compete in World Fast draw. Using his knowledge of the sport he went on to set 18 world fast draw speed records out of his holsters, some of which are still unbroken.

The legacy of Mernickle Holsters is continuing with the new Owners.

Cliff Powers is a US Army Retiree with over 22 years of shooting experience in multiple disciplines. With his wife Lisa and daughter Hayley they bring their own artistic knowledge of leather work and competitive shooting to a proven design. The entire family are competitive members of the Single Action Shooting Society as well as the Cowboy Fast Draw Association.

The championship quality and craftsmanship of our holsters are second to none. Each of our holsters comes with the same cutting-edge designs as those when the company was founded. All holsters are made with the end user in mind. No matter what the discipline!

If you are a competition shooter, our holsters will make you the best you can be. Our concealed carry line will max out the concealment yet give you a smooth and extremely fast draw.

The company embodies three basic rules. Safety first, followed by function, that is they have to work and work well. Then lastly, they must look good. Period! A good working product does not have to be ugly! Our Holsters are handmade right here in the USA and only use the highest quality leather.
