And, with the introduction of the .380 Glock 42, cops have a great deep-cover or backup gun option that works just like their primary duty gun. The subcompact Glock 42 in .380 […]
My holster cup runneth over. Recently I was able to run through Safariland’s QLS holster system and now I get a crack at their 537 Open-top concealment Belt Slide holster for the Glock 17/22.

In one of my past articles, The Daily Arsenal of the Armed Citizen, I wrote about how critical I believe it is to carry a backup magazine for your concealed firearm.
