It was there that he first met Arvo Ojala, the designer of the popular Hollywood Fast Draw Holster. Alfonso was soon working for Ojala, producing Hollywood Fast Draw Holsters. The Hollywood film industry has relied on Alfonso’s to create beautifully crafted gun belts and holsters for Western movies.
