Found this photo with zero context. I am curious what the user was thinking when they holstered the grip rather than the gun? The gun looks odd and I think it is a CO2 bb gun. Matthew says it is a Crossman 1088. Forget the fact that this is some cheap corssman/Uncle [Read More…]

I know, that HK USP45 looks wicked operator and it’s a lot easier to shoot well than your 638. But where is it right now? In your safe? Big handguns are more fun to shoot and we can shoot them much faster and more accurately than little guns. But most folks end up [Read More…]

I’m willing to bet that there are many out there like me. I typically carry IWB, often with a tucked shirt (Management has to meet certain appearance standards…), which while often highly effective, has its own set of problems for us larger folks. While you [Read More…]
The Surefire booth at SHOT 2017 had enough space to play a full team vs team street hockey game. And yet, surrounded by bullet proof lights, milspec silencers and well, more lights, it was strange that the one product that really caught my attention was a holster. For [Read More…]

The hardest part of concealing a firearm is, generally speaking, the grip of the gun. Where the muzzle looks relatively natural in its vertical or near vertical position, the grip of the gun has a tendency to look unnatural in both shape and appearance. Various firearms [Read More…]

I get it, taking the time to properly weave one’s belt through their holster’s hoops is just one part of being a responsible gun owner. Solid retention keeps the firearms owner safe from inadvertent drops, exposing concealed carry, etc. But, It also means [Read More…]
I, for one, love kydex holsters. Compared to their leather brethren, they have incredible durability and longevity across the wide variety of weather we encounter here in the midwest USA. From extreme cold to scorching hot and a deluge in between the kydex never loses [Read More…]
Saw this on @TheIGMilitia on Instagram. Some comments say that the person in the brown pants is Miami Dade PD. More importantly is the woman holding the yellow mug. Some think she may be prior Marines due to the folded cuff of the T-shirt. But the bigger question is: [Read More…]

I truly enjoy level 1 holsters. When properly designed and manufactured like much of the high-end Kydex offerings today, the friction-only retention offers fantastic performance in concealable packages. These holsters and their Q/D systems are equally good in my other [Read More…]
If that Glock Duty holster wasn’t silly enough there is this monstrosity. It has the “first of its kind offense retention system”. I call it the Tactical Toaster Holster. It has a taser to protect your gun from being drawn by someone else. It is not [Read More…]
For Law Enforcement outside of the US, some of them have to carry chamber empty. I saw this posted online. It was posted by a Filipino Gun Club. The holster allows the user to chamber a round as they draw the gun out. It reminds me of the the Crye Gun Clip in [Read More…]
I picked up a Crye Precision Gun Clip many years ago. To be honest I have not used it that much although I liked the concept. Holstering a Glock with weaponlight is easier now, but when I bought this, custom Kydex holsters were not as common as they are now. One issue [Read More…]
