The Raven Concealment Eidolon holster has been around for about 2 years now, but I just recently purchased one for personal use. Ever since the Eidolon was released, several other kydex holster companies started incorporating the RCS claw and holster wedge. Those other companies may produce a more affordable holster with similar features, but it’s […]
One day while walking through a local sporting goods store I came across a holster that caught my eye. It was a Stealth Operator holster and it is made by a company called Phanlanx Defense Systems. The holster claims to be able to fit more than 150 different gun models. I bought the holster and […]
The SOB Tactical Condom Holster is an all leather minimalist holster for appendix inside the waistband carry (AIWB). The clip used on this holster has a clothing catch on it to keep the holster retained on the body when you draw your pistol. This design is based on John McPhee’s operational experience in the Army’s […]

Some serious instructors and schools have been catering training towards, and sometimes selling, equipment for optically sighted pistols for duty and concealed carry.

The PHLster ACCESS is a secure, inside-the-waistband holster with muzzle coverage and a 3/4-height ambidextrous body shield. The strut/loop mounting system is ambidextrous and adjustable. It is ideally suited for small-of-the-back, appendix, or kidney carry. It is secure, but easy to move around as conditions change. Let’s define our terms. Small-of-the-back carry falls along the […]
I have used a few IWB (inside the waistband) holsters for my everyday concealed carry. Â One of the biggest problems that I have when carrying is “printing”, showing the outline of my pistol through my shirt when bending over, kneeling, etc. For those who are looking for a reliable, easy and fast to draw IWB […]
At The Loadout Room, we love to test gear. And, there is something we love even more than testing gear. It is testing NEW gear! So, when a package from HSGI arrived at our door this weekend, we were excited to see what it contained.  When we opened it, we saw the new Costa Leg Rig inside. The Costa […]
