Holster

This addition to Safariland’s holster line offers the next level of concealment for everyday carry in the fan-favorite pattern.

I never realized how important top-quality leather gear or holsters were until I needed to wear a gun around all day long, riding horses, doing chores, hunting wearing a pack, sitting in a vehicle, crawling through brush, and competing while performing rough and tumble activities.

“Safariland customers asked, and we answered with the new RDSO 6000 series holsters,” said Eric Gasvoda, GM of Duty Gear for Safariland.

Blackhawk Holsters’ new Made-In-America T-Series holsters offer level two retention but are low-profile enough to still let you get a high grip when you extract your handgun. And it’s made in both full-sized and carry-sized models.

Just in time for Halloween, I’m replacing the old holster and hanging a new skeletonized holster on my belt.

On the outside, the Blackhawk TECGRIP FORMLOK appears to be a very plain Inside the Waistband (IWB) holster, but it is so much more.

The reason you are here is because you want to make your own pistol holster. By literally taking things into your own hands you can save money, add features, or further simplify to your liking. For my purpose I chose to use Kydex, a thermoform plastic, due to it’s great retention and ease of forming.

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!

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.
