My name is Charles Klecker. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves for 8 years as an 0311 Infantryman, where I was placed in charge of schools and training for the battalion (800+ Marines). I was a Combat Marksmanship Coach (0933), where I assisted in training more than 500 Marines in rifle and pistol marksmanship over 3 years. I spent 9 months training foreign nationals’ firearms handling, marksmanship and security techniques as a Foreign Security Forces Advisor (0571) in Central America.
I wanted to take my military training and experience to the civilian world since it is very important to me that every firearm owner has the proper training and mindset to be safe, not only for themselves, but also for the people around them. So in 2018, Klecker Tactical was born, and in 2022, the official LLC was formed. I started as a certified NRA instructor, teaching CPL classes. In July of 2019, I obtained an Advanced Gunsmith Certificate, and in March of 2020, I earned an Associate’s of Science in Firearms Technology from Sonoran Desert Institute (SDI).
I have been crafting holsters since 2019 and came to realize that a good holster and quality training are important aspects of someone who carries a firearm every day for personal protection. Holsters, although a big part of where this company started, are not the sole products we plan to produce. We are a 2A company and strive to do all we can to continue to grow.
I fully support the 2nd Amendment and will continue to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
