Since 1996

Founded in 1996 out of sheer frustration. Charles Parrott III was fed up with his trusty WW2 1911 getting soaked with sweat after a long day in the Florida heat so he took a possum style holster that he liked and turned it into the holster we all love today. He made it snag free and sweat proof and started selling them at gun shows across the south raving about the incredible surprise draw, dubbing it the Invisible Holster. A name rightly earned as I worked for Charlie trimming and packaging holsters for months before he pulled a gun way too big to be hiding that well out of his pants. My jaw hit the floor and I was an immediate believer.

Carrying on a legacy

I spent the next 20 years making Charlie’s holsters with my grandmother and since becoming the owner of SmartCarry in 2019 I’ve made some improvements and upgrades but the foundation remains. At SmartCarry we make high quality holsters right here in Florida, USA. We stand by the quality of our work and always will.
