Craig & Audrey Chadwick - Owners

Lightening Arms stocks many items similar to a gun shop but specializes in quality holsters. They have one of the largest selections of holsters in the region. They are an authorized stocking dealer for Milt Sparks, Galco, Lou Aleesi and Mike Meredith's Pocket Concealment Systems (pocket holsters). The have a very extensive selection of Milt Sparks holsters. Those of us from the northwest should be very familiar with Milt Sparks as they are one of the pioneer's in the defensive holster business and specialize in manufacturing holsters for conceal carry and self defense. And Milt Sparks makes their holsters the old fashion way . . . one at a time by hand! So, typically, to purchase a Milt Sparks holster you have to order one from a catalog and wait several weeks to see your new custom holster. Not now with Lightning Arms! They will probably have the holster you want in their store! Craig and Audrey have many different holsters to choose from their well stocked store. If you are uncertain what kind of holster to purchases contact Craig or Audrey and they'll guide you in the right direction. Give them a call! Milt Spark's website
