David Kitchen"....I would estimate that I have purchased approximately 15 holsters from Bell Charter Oak. Over the years, I have never been disappointed or had any type of problem. Rather, I have simply found the BCO holsters to be the very best. For years I have done business with Bell Charter Oak because of their superb products. I have now added a new reason, unsurpassed customer service. Their customer service has always been very good, but I consider the way I was treated in a recent transaction, to be in a superior class of customer service that is rarely experienced. Thank you BCO. I was already a customer for life and one of your biggest promoters, but now I consider myself the President of the Bell Charter Oak Fan Club."

Emerson Rourke"My partner persuaded me to try one of your holsters. I was favorably impressed after borrowing one of his to try for awhile. The Summer Heat model arrived last week and with no reservation, I tell you it is beyond a doubt the best working IWB I have used in over 20 years."
Geoff Langford"I ordered two of your holsters and a belt awhile back. The Demon pancake and the ICE scabbard for the Ruger LCR. Each time I've gone to the range since then, it never fails that someone asks me where I bought them. Please send me some business cards to hand out."
