When I accepted my current position I also accepted a new uniform that is somewhat paramilitary. It combines a military style dress with cargo pants. The resulting effect is not a lot of opportunities to comfortably carry a gun. For a short time, I went to carrying off-body in my constant companion laptop bag. That […]
Having the right holster makes all the difference, and after trying a few, you realize there are many similarities and differences out there. Ever since I purchased my Glock 17, my first firearm, I have experimented with countless Kydex holsters from various manufacturers. When the opportunity came to try out another holster, this time courtesy […]
I’m in the airport at LAX having just finished my 11th Direct Action Group ( http://dag-usa.com/) Combat Arts Symposium (CAS). It’s always a great experience with Max Joseph and his cadre of experienced Instructors. I first trained with Max in 1998 taking his Tac Pistol I & II and have used what I learned then […]
The name FAB Defense should be no stranger to regular readers of the Load Out Room, the Israeli based company has had several of their products featured here before. FAB Defense made a name for themselves with their KPOS Glock carbine conversion kit and their GL-Core AR15 stock that was compatible with both civilian and […]
The BlackPoint Tactical FO3 is built for IWB carry just forward of the 3 o’clock position. It features dual metal attachment points each with a cloth grabber for maximum retention. Ride height, cant, and retention are all user adjustable. It has a rear wing that wraps around the hip for added comfort. They are all […]
I’ve been using the BlackPoint Tactical Custom Holster for my Sig Sauer P226 for a couple of weeks. It is a superb holster, comfortable, concealable and functional. It has a very standard appearance for a Kydex holster, black and sleek. Coming out of the box it doesn’t have the flashiness of some of the trendier […]
As a Law Enforcement Professional I have seen my fair share of holsters and with today’s web accessibility there are many companies out there trying to make a buck, dishing out poor quality products. That is not the case with Bravo Concealment. They are a quality company that make quality custom Kydex holsters at some […]
Modularity has really snuck into the holster market. From Alien Gear, Clinger Holsters, and Bravo Concealment have all taken the idea of modularity and applied it to holsters. The Bravo Concealment Adaptive holster system is a bit different by offering a light gearing option and being made entirely from kydex. This is a very modern […]
My standard method of carrying a handgun goes from an OWB kydex holster to a cargo pocket holster depending on what part of the day I’m in. I’ve never cared for IWB, and when I first tried it I found it quite uncomfortable for anything bigger than a J frame. That’s why when Black Storm […]
Upon opening the box of the Alien Gear ShapeShift Holster kit, I was bewildered with a vast array of do-dads, nick-nacks and parts. It took me around ten minutes or so to sort through it. I was not displeased with the end results. The holster comes standard, with a variety of flavors which are inside […]
