LA Police Gear’s lineup has been dedicated to supplying the needs of the citizenry just as much as that of the police (as the name implies). To this end, they’ve created their own line of shirts, footwear, armor, and pants. The pants we’re reviewing today are the LAPG Battle Rattle Stretch Tactical Pants, which sport a total of 15 pockets for hunting, hiking, firearms training, or defending your patch of the homeland. Let’s dig into this fiesta de quinze pockets.

LA Police Gear has been around since 2001, and they have established their own brand in addition to supplying other popular brands of duty gear to law enforcement and citizens. The LA Police Gear Terrain Flex Jeans are a departure from duty gear that ventures straight toward the concealed carry market that features NINE pockets, but without looking tactical whatsoever. As a longtime concealed carrier, I can say that the LAPG Terrain Flex Jeans answers questions that should’ve been asked a long time ago. Let’s dive into these pocketses.

I was assured when I started carrying my guns in an appendix inside the waistband (AIWB) holster, that I would promptly shoot myself in a very important area. Four years later, I am happy to report that I remain completely intact and a moderate proponent of AIWB carry. My current AIWB holster for my GLOCK 45 MOS with RMR and a full-size SureFire X300 Ultra weapon light has been my favorite for more than a year. But today we are going to take a look at the new Safariland INCOGX IWB holster system, a collaboration with Haley Strategic Partners. How does the new Safariland INCOGX stack up? Let’s take a look.

The Glock 43X and 48 have been some of the most popular carry guns as of late, often considered some of the best options on the market among other carry pistols of the same class like the SIG P365, Springfield Hellcat, and the S&W Shield Plus. Pretty much all of these handguns, save for the latest iteration of the SIG P365, are nice and compact, and have a higher capacity than previous generations of carry pistols, but somewhat suffer in the recoil department simply because of the reduced weight. Compensators are one way to improve the recoil characteristics without really sacrificing much in the concealment department and that’s why Backup Tactical is proud to introduce their newest Perfect Fit PROComp, this time for the Glcok 43X and Glock 48.

Thanks for joining us on another edition of TFB’s Wheelgun Wednesday, in which we cover every topic known to the world of revolvers. We always want to hear reader feedback, but as the title suggests, I demand humbly request your participation to hear what your go-to barrel length is when it comes to revolvers. With the exception of homemade revolvers, we’re limited to barrel length options presented by wheelgun manufacturers, but when your go-to barrel length is available, which do you choose?

Just like there is no one perfect gun to use as a concealed carry weapon (CCW), there is no one perfect holster for concealed carry. Variables include, but certainly aren’t limited to, body shape, type of clothing, size of the gun, training levels, retention type, and most importantly, the mission. Let’s face it, if you are a C-Suite level executive and you are walking into the office with a drop leg holster, you either work for an awesome company or you live in Detroit. Similarly, an inside the waistband (IWB) holster probably isn’t the best choice for a uniformed officer. Let’s take a look at Safariland holsters, retention levels, locking mechanisms, carry styles, and how I picked an ALS concealment holster for my new Gen 5 GLOCK 26.

The latest entry into the micro-red dot category of carry optics has just hit the scene, this time from Ruger. Ruger is proud to announce their new ReadyDot Micro Reflex Optic. The ReadyDot will use the Shield RMSc footprint which is common to the micro-compact 9mm category of firearms. What’s really interesting and unique about the Ruger offering is that it features no windage or elevation adjustments, a 15 MOA dot, and also uses no battery to power its dot. Instead, the Ruger ReadyDot relies on a fiber optic system similar to some prism optics to generate a visible dot that auto-adjusts based on ambient lighting.

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop makes the case that Glock has been eclipsed in the concealed carry market. Instead of spending money upgrading and customizing a G43X or G48, you could get the underrated handgun discussed in this video and have a turnkey solution. What is it? Just watch the video to find out, it’s that easy!

If you thought 30 Super Carry was all set to dethrone or kill .380 ACP, you’d be wrong because Ruger has just announced the latest addition to their handgun lineup. The new Ruger Security-380 pistol is a 15+1 capacity carry pistol featuring Ruger’s Lite Rack system which includes design features to allow for easier slide manipulations. Ruger calls the design of the Security-380 pistol “full-featured, ideally sized, and modestly priced.”

Blue Alpha Belts, creators of some of the best CCW belts and other firearms-adjacent accessories have just announced what they think will become one of the most used tools in your CCW lineup. The new Blue Alpha Belts CCW Fanny Pack is designed as a comfortable, discreet and subcompact pistol ready CCW option for when you can’t or don’t want to wear your more traditional CCW gear and holsters.

A good CCW/EDC belt is a confluence of functionality, comfort, durability, and – yes – style.  Black Arch set out to check all of those boxes with their EDC Belt.  Best of all, whether you carry inside the waistband or outside, tucked shirt or untucked, this belt is as discreet as can be.  It doesn’t scream “gun”, yet provides all the functions of a good gun belt.

A while back, we featured the work of a French gunsmith, Cedric, on TFB’s Wheelgun Wednesday, in which he had worked his magic on a Smith & Wesson 617. Well, for one of his latest projects, he souped up a Smith & Wesson 64 revolver for a retired police officer that carried this revolver for years. Cedric said that this project involved a lot of polishing, adding a single gas port to the barrel, and replacing the rubber grips with the ever-beautiful Nill wood grips.

For Today’s TFB Podcast episode I’ve brought on a recent acquaintance of mine, Tara from How I Carry. How I Carry is basically Tara’s online presence and what she does is specializes in what I think is a very underserved market – concealed carry advice and reviews for women. With more and more women taking interest in carrying concealed for themselves, the type of information that Tara provides could prove to be quite important – possibly even lifesaving for these new concealed carriers. Today I ask Tara about her best training, firearms, and gear advice that she has for other women. We also talk a bit about her journey from a non-gun owner, to a concealed carrier, to a budding competitor!
