Holsters

Concealed carry gear requires a lot of subtlety. BLACKHAWK’S TecGrip Magazine Holster helps that happen and fits both men and womens’ pants.

Today, Crossbreed is introducing a new holster that in many ways takes them back to their roots. The Reckoning is here. I ordered mine for a 5-inch 1911.

Some hate the idea of appendix inside waistband–carry (AIWB). But the PHLster holster is a game-changer, and may even convince a few of the naysayers.

In the past, nobody in their right mind would get excited about universal magazine holders. G-Code has changed that, and boy, they’ve done it right.

Pictured below are a Diamond D Custom Leather shoulder holster and a Glock 26. They make a great combination for concealed carry. When it comes to this rig, I love the comfort, balance and retention, but I do not love where the muzzle of the gun ends up.

Finding the right holster for the job is not easy and often frustrating. If you are like me then somewhere in the back of your closet or garage is a box of holsters that didn’t work out. The majority of my discarded holsters are for 1911s or revolvers- their weight and size make holster selection [...]

My holster came with a retention strap, though a full cover flap is also an option if you’re really worried about protecting the pistol from the elements. For a backcountry gun, the extra security of the retentions strap is worth the slight penalty in speed. And if you need to get ready for the O.K. Corral, it is easy to move it out of the way.

Finding a holster for a rail-equipped 1911 is like finding Waldo with pepper spray in your eyes. It ain’t easy. But I found the solution. Enter BLACKHAWK’s 3 Slot Pancake holster.

“Always carry a gun”

I looked in mild surprise at the Border Patrol agent who had just spoken the words. We had been discussing the illegal drug trafficking that occurred on a near-daily basis across the West Texas ranch where I worked.
“Yeah, I usually do … But really?”
“Yes. You just never know.”
