Comp-Tac’s C-Tac “Shirt Tucker” offers multiple heights and angles, concealability and speed. Behind the wheel, the Bond Arms Ranger holster rides comfy and compact, though you’ll need a Bond Arms Ranger derringer to go in it. Not many problems can pop up at your window that two rounds of .45 Colt or .410 buckshot won’t fix. Cool Carry Options Filling Your Hand From A Few Different Angles John Connor If you haven’t heard enough of these stories, I’ll let you borrow some of mine, like the retired deputy working private investigations, his pistol snug in a high-ride hip holster as he sat behind the wheel of his car doing surveillance on a cheating husband. Surprised in that position, he died reaching for his inaccessible gun — and not quite making it. Other stories involve carjackings of victims who possessed handguns — they just didn’t have ‘em where they could speedily get them into play. There was the detective whose backup gun — a small revolver in his pants pocket — suddenly burst through weak stitching, fell down his leg to the floor and became Harry Hairball’s primary weapon; the robbery victim who was shot simply because his pocket rocket “printed” through the material at the wrong moment and the stickup man panicked. There are dozens more, some funny, many sad and some truly tragic. I prefer the happy tales of guns that seemingly came outta nowhere, surprisin’ scumbags who just weren’t ready for a “victim” who’d done their holster-homework. I can’t cover all the bases for you, but I’ll try first to present you with some options you may not have seen or noticed before, and second, to get you thinkin’ where you might wanta park that second pistol, or how best you can keep that howitzer handy while driving to Great- Aunt Emily’s place — okay? Here we go. * “Shirt-tucker” holsters are becoming very popular. The SuperTuck (left) by CrossBreed and the Ultimate Shirt Tucker (right) from Hoffner’s all offer adjustability. TAG Shellback Tactical Seat Caddy gets you set up on-duty with pockets for about anything, even mags. In a pinch you could toss it over your neck and have an active-shooter’s bag. 62 WWW.AMERICANHANDGUNNER.COM • JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2010
DeSantis offers a synthetic pocket rig said to stick like flypaper — no, not to your gun, to your pocket! New High Security Cases from Safe Direction look like “bank bags,” but they’re tougher, stronger, and of course they contain SD’s accidental discharge-defeating Ballistic Containment System. Ankle-anchors don’t have to be clunky clankers. Galco’s Ankle Glove uses calf-height suspension to hold your handgun in place. For those who carry cannons: Didja ever wonder who designed the Original Dirty Harry Shoulder Holster? Lawman Leather Goods — and they still produce it, but thanks to some high-tech hoopla, they now make it for virtually any handgun ever made, including those .460 and .500 Smith & Wesson monsters. A long-time favorite of undercover cops, slick and simple inside-thepants holsters from Law Concealment Systems are comfortable, flexible — and fast! Lots of vests conceal guns, but the Concealment Vest from Bluestone Safety is made specifically to pack two handguns plus lots of magazines and edged novelties without “printing.” For more info: www.bluestonesafety.com; www.bondarms.com; www.clipdraw.com; www.comp-tac.com; www.crossbreedholsters.com; www.desantisholster.com; www.elitesurvival.com; www.gunvault.com; www.handgunconcealment.com; www.haugenhandgunleather.com; www.highnoonholsters.com; www.hoffners.com; www.kramerleather.com; www.lawmanleathergoods.com; www.safedirection.com; www.unclemikesle.com; www.usgalco.com; www.tacticalassaultgearstore.com.
