Ever wished you could have a small section of tank tread to wear around your wrist? And did you ever wish that those treads had little tools in them? And did you ever wish that all of these tooled up treads were also a watch band? No? What planet are you from?

Getting a gun safe is the first step in protecting your guns. But you can’t always stay with your safe, and no safe is 100% immune to theft or fire. Liberty Safes has an innovative solution. Their SafElert system allows for text and email alerts, and real-time monitoring of the safe. And it isn’t going to break the bank, either.

N82 Tactical makes holsters that focus on the user’s comfort and the effective mode of carry. The results are impressive, and competitively priced. I’ve been carrying the GLOCK 42 in an N82 Professional for more than a month, and it is proving to be the most comfortable and effective retention holster I’ve seen for IWB carry. Read the review.

No Cowboy is complete without a match set of shooting irons. And every gun needs a holster. If you are looking for that edge in the SASS ccowboy shooting sports, or just wanting that extra flair to finish off your period-correct costume, El Paso Saddlery has you covered. They make some outrageous leather rigs. Here’s some thing to look for for your single action set-up.

The NSR C-5 is a holster built for concealment. It is designed to ride inside the waistband, and can be tucked underneath a shirt. The holster build is minimalist, but has room for expansion. It allows the end user to modify the rig to suit his or her needs. Allowing for adjustment in cant, depth, and retention, the C-5 is truly flexible.

Fobus’s new tactical holsters are built to accommodate one gun with any of a wide range of lights or lasers–so if you’re having trouble making up your mind about options, you can still stick with the same holster. Talk about versatility….

Transporting firearms is an art form. I’ve tried everything. My go-to case is a long heavy Pelican case that I jam several guns into. But that set-up isn’t practical if I have to walk any distance, or carry the case over rough terrain. Flying Circle Bags has an option that is growing on me–their Scoped Rifle Case is a heavy duty rifle bag that is surprisingly versatile, and very affordable.

Reloading a shotgun quickly is one of the skills that marks an experienced shooter. Staying organized is key, as is accessibility. SOE Gear makes chest rigs that keep ammo front and center, right where you need it. The Micro-Rig is a great option for hunting and home defense, and a no-brainer for the tactical shooter.

Less than a decade ago the standard for military assaulters was a 2.5 inch thick super stiff belt, to which you attached your pistol and pistol mags. Usually with duct tape. They were heavy, uncomfortable, and had a bad habit of rubbing your body raw when you wore them over 2 hours. In short, they sucked, but they were all we had. You don’t know what you are missing until you get an awesome piece of gear. And the VTAC Brokos is that.
