Family. Quality. Reliability. Honesty. Integrity.

I'm Dave Miller - a Law Enforcement Officer, hunter, husband, father, and founder of OxCreek Tactical, Inc. I'm a pretty competitive person by nature. I remember a while back when I was checking out my friend's new holster, I thought, “I could make something like that, but better!”

Because of my background in Law Enforcement, I knew what I needed in a holster and what was important. I needed a holster that was compact, durable, and would draw and holster repeatedly without fault - especially when I needed it most.

But I also wanted a holster that looked the part - had crisp, clean lines, and was comfortable to wear for hours on duty, or in my tree stand.

Well, I started experimenting and I finally made my first holster! I remember showing it to my wife and while she agreed it looked good, she gave me a few pointers on how to pretty them up even more without compromising quality or function.

My friends started seeing my holsters and belts and asking me about them. Once they found out I made them myself, they kept asking me to make one for them!

Now, it’s one thing to sell a product to someone on the other side of the country that you’ll never see again, but it’s a totally different thing to make a product for a friend that you’ll see every day. I don’t know about you, but my friends and fellow officers do NOT have a problem being honest with me, and would definitely let me know if my gear failed, especially when they needed it most.

That solidified my conviction for the highest quality in everything we make, because in reality, someone’s life may depend on it.

That’s a big deal to me. I am out there on duty every day, and when I’m home, I have a family that means the world to me.

I don’t know about mass-produced gear made overseas, but when it comes to OxCreek Tactical, Inc., “Good enough” isn’t good enough. Our standard is defined by whether I would be proud enough to carry it every day, and rely on it every day, in every situation.

The next thing I knew, Police Departments were getting in contact with me asking me to outfit their entire force with tourniquet carriers. And we still count it a privilege to support my Brothers in Blue.

Where We Are Today

As demand grew, so did our shop. To keep every piece consistent, we invested in our own 3D CAD design and CNC machining, so we could build the molds, trim fixtures, and assembly jigs ourselves instead of relying on anyone else. That in-house tooling became the foundation of everything OxCreek Tactical, Inc. does today.

Precision tooling for Kydex® makers. Other makers began asking for the same tooling we use in our own production. Today we design and CNC-machine HDPE molds and router trim jigs for holster and gear makers across the country, engineered for accurate fit, repeatable results, and faster production. The same tools that run in our shop every day are the ones we ship to our customers.

OEM sheath manufacturing. That same capability led us into contract manufacturing for knife companies. We now produce tens of thousands of custom Kydex® and Boltaron® sheaths every year as a trusted OEM partner to American knife companies, including Bastinelli Knives and several of the largest U.S.-based knife companies under nondisclosure agreements. Every program is handled in-house from CAD design and sample approval through production tooling, forming, trimming, and assembly. Learn more about our OEM services.

We’ve grown a lot since that first holster, but we’re still the same family-owned shop in Oswego County, New York, and we still like to meet people in the community, answer questions, and see how folks react to the quality when they see our work for the first time.

What made me begin my business then, is still what drives us today -

Real American-made quality, not quantity.

OxCreek Tactical, Inc. is founded on ideals that will never change. We will never sacrifice quality just to make a quick dollar.

I can ensure that everything we make is tested and up to my high standards. If I wouldn't trust it on duty or in a life or death situation, we will not sell it.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments and we’ll help in any way we can. We value your feedback.

Our goal is for you to be 100% satisfied with the products we make for you.

We want you to have equipment you can rely on when it matters most and be proud to carry every day.
