These combat grade flip flops are ones I can highly recommend. If you prefer partial nudity for your toes but don’t wanna be completely lacking, TEVA is the weapon of choice.

SIG Sauer’s new duty pistol optic, the ROMEO2 can be installed as an open-emitter, steel armored open emitter or a fully-sealed closed-emitter red-dot sight. It can endure the slide recoil velocities of a 10mm and offers water resistance and protection from environmental debris. It is a uniquely rugged sight with modular user-convertible configurations.

In fact, I bought my stuff for personal use, it was never supposed to be a review. But when my package arrived, I decided I had to get the word out. 

Generally speaking, I am a fan of inside the waistband carry for real concealment. And across the years, Cross Breed has absolutely been my leather of choice. But, sometimes IWB isn’t the best answer. So I do like to have an OWB option laying around, especially for summertime carry.
