Here at Milt Sparks, we are dedicated to producing practical designs for everyday use. Our products are handcrafted to please even the most discriminating individual for whom pride of ownership dictates that he or she has only the best. Because the bulk of our business is concealed-carry oriented, we feel it's imperative that we be able to discuss the merits of our products from experience. Being both shooting enthusiasts and licensed to carry in the state of Idaho, my crew and I are able to run continuous evaluation of our

products through training, competition and everyday use. Each new design is extensively wear-tested by my staff and myself in the manner it will be used before it is offered to you. We will not produce a design that we feel may endanger the safety of our customers, or compromise the intended purpose of carry just to make a sale. As a customer you are important to us. Our advice if solicited, is intended to help you make an informed decision based on our experience as shooters and users of our product. 

Many people visiting with us for the first time are unaware how small an operation Milt Sparks Holsters is (7 employees as of November 2009). Milts immense popularity with the combat pistol-shooting crowd of the late 60’s and 70’s, distinguished him such, that he could have taken the business in any direction he had chose. He opted to keep the business small and personal with emphasis on quality and practical design, a philosophy we adhere to today. Though Milt retired from the day-to-day business of making holsters back in 1981, the craftsmen that have comprised Milt Sparks Holsters have always been dedicated to carrying on the tradition he began. Unlike with other shops where an employee is responsible for only a certain sequence in the production process, each item we produce is made from start to finish by a single craftsman. We feel that by producing our product in this fashion exemplifies the pride and extra care the craftsmen at Milt Sparks take in seeing the project through to the end. 

My own history with Milt Sparks began when I came to work for him in 1983.  As the result of the success of several of my earlier designs such as the model #60TK, I was eventually offered a full partnership in the business. In 1990 we incorporated under the name Milt Sparks Holsters, Inc. and the business was moved from Idaho City to Boise.  Milt and I remained close friends and business partners up till his death in 1995 at the age of 78. 

As always, we welcome and appreciate any and all comments. Thank you for your interest in our company, 

President, Milt Sparks Holsters, Inc.
