Making Sense Of Duty Holsters And Retention Levels — Part 1
I was comparing notes on new products with American Cop Editor Erick Gelhaus at the 2023 SHOT Show, and the conversation turned towards law enforcement duty holsters. Each of us had seen some promising leads, and we were eager to share what we had learned with each other. Alas, the conversation highlighted one of my pet peeves in the holster industry, which is the lack of standardization in the terms we use to describe [...]
IWI Jericho 941 Carries Just Right
The IWI Jericho 941 impressed me at the range so the next logical step was to carry it concealed. It’s a duty gun, make no mistake, with the weight (2.1 lbs. loaded) to prove it. But it’s also accurate, reliable, and a lot of fun to shoot because it is [...]
Shoulders And Scabbards
By Roy Huntington Sometimes it’s good to be reminded of things, and I speak from personal experience. So, at the risk of having you guys hunt me down and hit me in the head with hammers, here’s a couple of gentle reminders of things you might have forgotten about — [...]

Best Gear For Your Mission
Carrying a gun for personal protection goes a lot deeper than just strapping on a gun. I look at concealed carry as more of a practical martial art. It takes more than just putting on a gi and tying on a belt to be proficient. You have to practice your [...]
My Questions — Bersa BP380 Concealed Carry
The Bersa BP380CC you see here just arrived. It’s been in my possession for about 24 hours. I haven’t fired it. I haven’t carried it. And it’s Bersa’s first polymer frame pistol in .380 (MSRP $430). I don’t like to speculate, but I think I’m going to like it. Bersa [...]
Nelson Holsters
I have no idea how it happened, but it did — I got “old-ish.” There I was sitting in my shop admiring some new holsters just delivered by the big brown truck when the words came out of my mouth — “They sure don’t make stuff like they use to.” [...]
