Holsters

There are many holsters to select from these days, and more are being introduced all the time. Regardless of the gun model or the holster manufacturer, there are certain features of holsters that are important and some that are strictly a personal preference.

Ankle holsters in movies always look kind of cool but is this a feasible way to practice concealed carry?

Prior to this project, I lacked any real experience in leatherworking. So I’m fairly confident when I say that this project is well within the skill set of almost anyone. So, if you’re looking for an inexpensive, weekend, firearm project, take a look at the holster kits from Tandy Leather.

Carrying your handgun every day sounds like a great plan when you’re a new gun owner. But once you get going you realize it isn’t as easy as you expected to find the right holster and belt to make carry comfortable and effective.

There’s a wide world of holsters out there and the options are practically endless, so be persistent and you’ll find the right one for you and your G48.

I have a love-love relationship with paddle holsters. Simply put, paddle holsters make it easy to carry and deploy a handgun. You can install a paddle holster easily, carry with stability and comfort, and draw and reholster with virtually no fuss. Granted, those attributes come at the cost of concealability, but that’s a pretty good trade-off.

Granted, it takes a bit to get used to wearing an ankle holster, but once you do, it is gloriously comfortable.
