I love the Ultra Custom (spoiler) because of its use of leather as the main component. Personally, I like carrying a gun in a leather holster (especially IWB) because the material is much softer to the touch than other options. However, there are negatives to an all-leather design. The Ultra Custom is everything that a leather holster is, without these negatives. Gun retention is on par with a Kydex holster if it is fit right!

This is an absolutely fantastic can and one that I highly recommend. I can tell you it is worth the money, and not just with words. I bought the review model for this week. The Nav 22 is staying with papa bear, where it belongs.

Life is too unpredictable not to have something as lightweight and compact as these items, which could provide serious help in a life-threatening situation.

The Fastrax PAC is a fanny pack that was specifically designed for carrying a concealed handgun. With the typical fanny pack, you would need to dig around in search of your handgun. But this new one from Galco features an internal pivoting holster that is activated with an external ripcord.

The answer to, “What is the best budget long-range rifle scope?” is definitely up for debate, along with other related topics. Because of this, let’s discuss why I think Vortex’s Strike Eagle 5-25×56 is the clear winner of its division.

The JARD AR Set Trigger can be used as a normal AR trigger with a four-pound pull weight, and it can be “set” for a pull weight of only 13 ounces. I’ve had the chance to use the JARD trigger for a few months now, and I’m loving it.
