Above, "To Catch a Thief" avenger-style holster was one of a range of Berns-Martin holsters made in Australia until 2020. Die-cut from American horsehide, then hand-molded/detailed, kiln-dried and hand-finished, it was the epitome of the advanced engineering and construction that evolved since 1985.  Guaranteed to fit directly from the box with no break-in, their form/fit/function was guaranteed for the working life of their maker, Red Nichols.  Red retired after 50 years' service as a consulting holster designer/maker to dozens of the world's biggest and best gunleather companies from Bianchi to DeSantis.
