Safariland, founding sponsor of the Marty Brown Memorial™ series of events, has again generously donated to our upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ IN Rifle & Pistol event on Sept. 5-6, 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™IN Rifle & Pistol event, the following Safariland donated product will be featured:
- Safariland Gift Card

The Marty Brown Memorial Open™ IN Rifle & Pistol will be suitable for firearms enthusiasts ranging in experience from beginner to expert; the event will generally follow the Basic Rifle and Basic Pistol courses of instruction with some drills omitted to fit into a single day and to allow for fundraising at various points. Lunch will be included.
