MBM Donation of the Day: Safariland
Safariland, founding sponsor of the Marty Brown Memorial™ series of events, has generously donated to our upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event on July 25, 2026.
In 1964, following his father’s request for a custom holster, Neale Perkins launched a holster business from his garage in Sierra Madre, California. He named his new company Safariland, after the African safari excursions he and his father enjoyed together. Within a few short months, Neale’s custom holster was a hit and he went from making a few hundred holsters a month to more than 5,000. Safariland reached new milestones by introducing the first Level III Retention duty holster and by becoming the first in the industry to achieve an ISO 9001 Standard Certification.
For the upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event, the following Safariland donated product will be featured:
- Safariland Gift Card
The Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event will be our inaugural “defensive/tactical” style event for the Marty Brown Memorial™ series. Brad Hammack (US Army, retired) will be the event instructor as he has been for most of our past defensive/tactical style events. To get a feel for what this event will involve, check out the event listing for details on the COI/COF as well as the below two photo galleries from prior Revere’s Riders defensive/tactical events that Brad has run:
- Basic Defensive Rifle (June 21, 2025 [Seelyville, IN])
- Intermediate Defensive Rifle (June 22, 2025 [Seelyville, IN])
The Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun won’t be an introductory event; it is recommended that you have previously taken the Revere’s Riders Basic Defensive Rifle course or the equivalent elsewhere. This event will also involve some moderate physical exertion (like the optional skills contest which involves carrying/dragging a 150lb sand monkey), so you will need to be reasonably physically fit as well.
If you can’t make this event, then join us for another of our upcoming events:
