CIRCLING BACK | Adjusting Holster Cant

Holsters are to handguns as slings are to rifles and shotguns. That is where you securely store the handgun when it's not in your hands. In my old department, 1911 pistols were common when I started as a patrol deputy in 1990. One popular holster was a muzzle-forward, open-top design from Bianchi. As those senior patrol deputies replaced their gear or retired, holsters with a muzzle rearward cant became common. Eventually, I wondered what had [...]

DeSantis Gunhide Trio

By |January 28th, 2016|

By Sammy Reese In 1972 Gene DeSantis had an idea to make a holster. Forty-three years later DeSantis holsters are carried in some of the best and worst places — to help support those in harm’s way. Gene will tell you his boys are running the business these days, but [...]

Best Gear For Your Mission

By |March 13th, 2015|

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

By |February 26th, 2015|

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

By |February 15th, 2015|

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.” [...]

Nate Squared Tactical

By |February 1st, 2015|

Professional Model I learned a long time ago not to criticize the cuisine until I had a taste. I’ve made some assumptions about a piece of gear just by looking at it and found I was wrong. I don’t think I need to break down the word assume to this [...]

Diamond D Custom Leather. When I started preparations for hunting elk and mule deer in country known to have really big bears, I knew carrying a large-caliber backup handgun was a top priority. My Hamilton Bowen 4" Model 29 loaded with heavy Buffalo Bore hardcast ammo would be my revolver. [...]

International Handgun Leather

By |December 30th, 2014|

American-Made Quality. In a society where newer is supposed to be better, we can all fall victim to the “I gotta have the newest (fill in the blank)” syndrome. I have a box or three of purchases I thought were going to be the newest greatest widgets. As more birthdays [...]
