Well folks starting today I will be able to devote all my time and energy to making of my holsters for those desiring only the best.  I’m passionate about making making my  holsters for all of you and  now along with your help I hope to actively promote them throughout the nation and world. I believe in my holsters with all my heart and soul and know that they are unmatched in quality and functionality . I hope and pray  no one every has to use their firearm in a deadly confrontation with another human being but God forbid  should anyone every be faced with that situation I feel that if my holsters can give a law abiding citizen an “edge” in prevailing in the encounter then I did my job. Life is about making a positive difference in someones life is it not?  That is exactly how I feel when making my holsters for you.

Hello Everyone,

It has been a while since I updated all of you out there regarding my holster business. Big change coming in June as I will be turning 65 . Besides making holsters I have been working another full time job at night to pay for my health insurance. Not complaining but it has not allowed me to focus “all” of my time to my passion, namely making holsters. Well that is about to change and can’t describe how elated I am about this momentous shift. Can’t describe how much  personal satisfaction I feel  providing you, my customers  with only the best holsters I can make. I want to thank all of you for your support and look forward to serving your holster needs well into the future.

All the Best

Robert Mika

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to give a update regarding a update on the website coming up very soon. It was brought to my attention recently about a lack of clarity regarding the turn around time once a order is placed. It is presently at twelve weeks and that point will be clearly pointed out on the web site once the adjustment is made. I take a lot of pride in making my holsters and since they are made one at a time, it takes time to complete all the orders that I have been receiving .  I will not compromise quality for quantity which is often the case when a company goes into warp drive to make a product and quality becomes secondary. I want of my customers to have only the best of what I can make and nothing less. So, if you prefer  the best pocket holster on the market today and are willing to wait then you have come to the right place.

Hello Everyone,

Thought I would like to share this customers (David Bryden)  message that I just received

Having been in the holster business for 35 years I thought I would tell you all how it all started . Back around  1984 I came up with my pocket holster design which I knew was better than anything available on the market place. While I was member of the Los Angeles Police Department and assigned to uniformed  patrol at Van Nuys division,  I made up a dozen or so pocket holsters and gave them  to  my fellow officers and  asked them to test the holster out while their were  in the field  and then complete a questionnaire. There was one particular officer who declined and told me that I was not going to get anywhere with my holsters. He went on to say that  there were too many “big companies” out there and it would be impossible to compete with them. Being very passionate about my holsters, I took his statement as a challenge. I proceeded to drive nearly 400 miles the following Saturday throughout 3 counties in Southern California visiting some 30 or so gun stores. Every store manager sent me back out their door except one . His name was  Charlie Webberly. He and he alone thought I had a functional pocket holster unlike anything he had seen. Subsequently , he  ordered 6 holsters and then informed me he would get back to me if he needed more. Well, I went out his door just beaming with confidence thinking this was it. Days went by and I heard nothing. Weeks went by and I heard nothing but finally after 4 months of waiting, Mr. Webberly called and told me that he left the gun store and was now manager at the Los Angeles Police Revolver and Athletic Club and wanted to order 50 of my pocket holsters. This was the beginning of what I envisioned. Mr. Webberly believed in me and I was encouraged to muster on .   That is exactly what I did  and now  after all these years and all the people who had faith in me and my holsters, I want to express a most heartfelt thank you. I look forward to provide you with your holster needs far into the future.

Cordially,

Robert Mika

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my customers for their incredible  patience and understanding while waiting for their orders to be delivered. When I first embarked on my holster making business some 30 or so years ago I never envisioned that it would reach the point where it is today. I’m extremely grateful to you all for selecting my holsters as your choice of carry.  I apologize that the current waiting  period is 12 weeks but I want to inform every one that I have taken steps to start whittling down that time frame to an acceptable level. I just recently hired my first employee four weeks ago and expect to make some serious headway on the back orders in short order. If anyone has any questions regarding their order, please contact me anytime of day. Time permitting,  I will do my utmost best to return your call or answer your e mail as promptly as I can.

All the best,

Robert Mika

Being that there are so many opinions out there on the question of whether or not one should be able to carry a concealed firearm, I thought I would toss in my thoughts. It is simply a question of “just in case”, by that I mean we all take certain preventative measures to protect ourself, our loved ones, our possessions. We have house insurance, car insurance, life insurance, health insurance, etc. “just in case”. Being responsible law abiding citizens we all have the right to employ measures that can “insure” our personal safety; no person or organization has the right to say otherwise. In todays world CCW is a option that can provide someone peace of mind for that ” just in case” scenario.

Since my new updated website has been up and running for a while, I thought you would all like to know that the feedback has been very positive. I want to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to all of you who have visited the site and offered your opinions or completed a purchase. Most of all I would like to thank my son, Peter Mika,  and Brian Jessee for all their hard work in creating this new website.  Without their help this website would have never come about and for that I’m extremely grateful..

Cordially,

For my pocket holsters, I offer both a round and square cut version. I do so because simply not all pockets are created equal. Some are small, short, deep, shallow, etc. and that presents a problem sometimes if a customer is offered only one style of cut for their holster. Let’s  take a SW J Frame for example. If you are wearing jeans or slacks, a round cut would work best . If you are wearing pants that have large cargo size pockets or a jacket with big pockets, then a square cut would work well.  If one is carrying a small auto like a Ruger LCP or a Beretta 21A, then square cut should be considered for most but not all situations. It should also be pointed out that what makes my pocket holsters different from most others is that they do not require a “thumb push off” to extract the firearm from the holster.  I’m an advocate of “less is more”.  The less steps one has to perform while under stress to extract the firearm from the holster, the better off you will be.

There are times that I hear from some of my ccw customers that their holsters containing their firearm of choice dose not sit down deep enough in their pockets. I understand completely! Many times  I find that pants  pockets are very shallow indeed and wonder if it is a cost saving measure in the clothing manufacturing industry to make them as short as possible.  I have made the following suggestion to others  as a possible remedy and want to pass it on to everyone. Just lengthen your pockets by two or three inches. Problem solved! It cost very little to have them lengthened and one will be happy that holstered weapon sits deeper in the pocket. On another note, if anyone would like to ask me any questions related to CCW I would be more than happy to answer them on this blog.
