Holster

FALCO Holsters has announced a significant upgrade to its Kydex Duty Holster lineup, introducing a completely redesigned safety hood. This new mechanism enhances user safety and operational speed by repositioning the thumb-activated release button for smoother, faster draws and adding a protective shroud to prevent accidental release. The squared hood profile now supports reflex sights up to 1.18” in height, keeping compatibility with the latest law enforcement optics and iron sights.

It’s not a product that’s for everyone, but it’s one that I’m happy to support. Today on the podcast, we’ve brought back Spencer from HUSH Holsters, which has come back with a vengeance after a brief one-year hiatus. With the HUSH (Hush Universal Suppressor Holster) holsters flying off the printers with tons of satisfied customers, Spencer has turned his attention to the SKS platform. The SKS 2000, which you guys have seen here on the blog, has become extremely popular not just here in the US, but in Canada as well. Today, Spencer and I will talk about everything he and his small team have been up to for the last year, and also give us a sneak peek at things to come just around the corner for HUSH Holsters.

FALCO Holsters has partnered with the elite 3 of 7 Project to release two new “high-performance” Kydex IWB holsters — the A912 and its light-bearing variant, the A912 L. Crafted with input from veterans of Navy SEAL and SWAT units, these holsters feature durable full Kydex construction paired with a breathable perforated leather backer to maximize comfort and concealability. Designed with adjustable retention and a sweat guard, the A912 series delivers swift access and reliable handgun protection for tactical operators and daily carriers alike.

FALCO Holsters has officially expanded its Kydex offerings, bringing three new carry options into a space where most manufacturers stick with the usual inside-the-waistband (IWB) or outside-the-waistband (OWB) formulas. These new kydex options will help those who prefer or need a chest carry, small of the back, or cross-draw holster to get what they need for the gun that they carry.

Handguns are less effective than long guns, but they offer one critical advantage: portability. A handgun is the gun that is most likely to be available should you need one, and if you are doing it right, that handgun will be in a holster. This article will cover the various types of holsters, some advantages and disadvantages of each, and how to decide what is right for you.

Welcome back to TFB’s Small Business Spotlight, where a small business owner can submit their firearms business for TFB coverage. This week’s entry is a purveyor of fine Kydex, by the name of Harry’s Holsters.

In today’s episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Dave Higginbotham from Safariland as we talk about their latest release, the Gravity holster. In this episode, Dave tells us what makes this OWB holster a game-changer for those who carry every day or are looking for a new sleek competition rig for IDPA or USPSA. The Gravity combines the popular Cordura fabric wraps that Safariland is known for with its adjustable detent retention and optics-ready design for a jack of all trades holster that can swing both EDC duty and regular range use. Dave shares behind-the-scenes stories about the holster’s development, Safariland’s commitment to quality, and why this holster is perfect for both range rats and daily carriers. Please give a warm welcome to returning guest, Dave Higginbotham from the Safariland Group.

The new AR Mag Carrier is built around a minimalist design that prioritizes secure retention and fast access, while keeping weight and bulk to a minimum.

When it comes to holsters, we have grown used to the debate on whether or not you should choose leather or Kydex for a daily carry holster. Ever since the release of Kydex holsters, there have been two main options for holster material. What if there were a viable third option? I heard Falco Holsters was coming out with a set of holsters that are either a hybrid or fully made of genuine carbon fiber. Unlike carbon fiber texture printed onto Kydex holsters, these Falco Holsters are fully made out of real carbon fiber, which made me immediately wonder how they performed in daily life. Let's take a closer look at Falco Holsters' carbon fiber options.

You want to make America great again? Start with your holster. This scabbard wins. It wins big. DeSantis has released a limited-run commemorative holster marking the 45th and 47th presidencies of the United States.

Carbon fiber is an innovative material. It’s composed of a web of filaments woven in a specific pattern and mated with resin. On its own, carbon fiber is flexible and soft to the touch. When the proper amount of epoxy resin is added to the carbon fiber weave, a strong and lightweight bond is made.

Trying to figure out the best holster to carry a concealed handgun in daily can become overwhelming with options and configurations. The age-old question when looking for a new holster is to choose between Kydex and leather holsters. Both materials have their strengths as well as their drawbacks. To add even more options to the market, I decided to check out a hybrid holster that is made out of both materials. I recently snagged all three styles from Falco Holsters and gave them a fair shakedown to see which style I prefer the best.

Holsters are just like handguns: They need maintenance, or they fall apart. The new Henry Holster Hospital is made to serve that need, for the DIY-minded gun owner.

Previously I never felt this need, but now I do.
