CHOOSING
THE RIGHT
HOLSTER
Finding one for
everyday carry...
its harder than

By RobeRt JoRdan
Holster Materials
Leather or molded plastic are usually your two best choices for holsters.
Leather requires a little break-in period
personaldefenseworld.com
Weapon Retention
Keeping the gun in the holster is important. We have all heard stories of
someone accidentally dropping a gun in a
public place. Cops worry about someone
grabbing their gun out of their holster.
If you carry concealed, you dont need
to worry about this nearly as much as a
cop, because no one should know you
have it unless you draw down on them. An
open-top holster is fine for most people. If
you are athletic and like to do handstands
in the park with your kids, I recommend
some type of retention device like a
thumb-break snap. Just make sure you
can disengage any retention device during
your natural drawing motion.

Ankle holsters range from super comfortable to excruciatingly painful depending on the amount of padding, whether
the gun rests on your ankle bone and
how tightly it is strapped. They can become exposed when seated as pant legs

The Solo CDP (LG) and Solo DC (top) weigh only 17 ounces. Just over
1 inch wide and with a barrel length of 2.75 inches, they establish a
new benchmark for concealed carry performance.
Solo pistols combine unequaled Kimber quality and 9mm power in a package
that weighs just 17 ounces. Borrowing proven 1911 ergonomics, they have a
natural pointability that improves both speed and accuracy while making them
surprisingly comfortable to shoot. Solo slides and barrels are machined from
stainless steel, and frames are cut from the finest aluminum. Five models are
offered, including 2 with Crimson Trace Lasergrips. No other micro-compact
pistol can match the performance of a Solo. Not even close. Visit a Kimber
Master Dealer and see for yourself.

carry options plus a matching backup
gun all in the same new caliber. The .357
SIG. This remains mostly a law enforcement specialty even today, but the latest
Glock 33 Gen4 (as well as Gen4 versions
of the Glock 31 and 32) offer users all
of the companys latest advances in
grip design and recoil management in a
unique, high-performance caliber. The
9+1 capacity Glock 33 Gen4 measures 6.4
inches in overall length with a 3.4-inch
barrel, a short 4.17 inches in height, 1.8
inches in width and a carry weight of
21.89 ounces (empty), making it the size
equivalent of the Glock 27.
The .45 ACP Glock 36, introduced in
1999, gave up four rounds and a doublestack magazine for a single-stack, sixround capacity, but gained a grip frame
and width that was narrowed to only 1.10
inches, still the narrowest large-caliber
Glock ever. While maintaining the same
3.7-inch barrel as the Glock 30, the gun
came in slightly longer at 6.96 inches but
lighter for concealed carry at only 22.4
ounces (empty) and shorter in height at
4.7 inches. This model remains among
the smallest .45 ACP semi-automatics
ever produced.
In 2003, Ernest Durham and Gaston
Glock designed the companys own
proprietary caliber, .45 GAP Created as
an alternative to .45 ACP, the cartridge
allows for a more compact pistol design
while providing a round with equal bullet
size and velocity. This led to the Glock
37 being introduced that same year and
the subsequent compact Glock 38 and
subcompact Glock 39 versions in 2005.
The Glock 39 is narrow at 1.18 inches,
with a single-stack magazine and 6+1
capacity, very short with a height of 4.1
inches and length of 6.4 inches. With a
shorter 3.4-inch barrel and carry weight
of 24.18 ounces, the Glock 39 is one of
the smallest large-caliber models in the
Glock line.
With the debut of the Glock 42 in 2014,
we have a new subcompact with the
smallest frame, slide and barrel length
Glock has ever offered. The Glock 42
offers all the advanced features of the
armsmakers subcompact line in a small,
easily held frame size that offers every
desirable feature for a .380 ACP pocket
pistol, including dovetailed white-dot
sights and easily operated slide and
magazine releasesand the G42 slide
locks back after the last round is fired.
The new subcompact .380 ACP employs
a dual recoil spring unique to the model
and a cold-hammer-forged, 3.25-inch
barrel, providing lighter recoil. The G42
measures 5.9 inches in overall length, a

safeties and a carry melt treatment designed to remove sharp edges that might
cut the shooter, clothing or holsters.
I normally carried the Kimber Ultra
CDP in a lightweight Fobus paddle holster.
It was as close to prefect as I could find
in a carry gun! Lightweight, powerful and
accurate, it did everything I needed it to.
There were just a couple minor things I
would have done differently.
In 2004, Kimber invited me to design
my own pistol and have its own Custom
Shop build it. I started with a Kimber Ultra
and asked the smiths there to fit the gun
with an extended thumb safety. I had no
use for an ambidextrous thumb safety.
In fact, my experience in carrying these
little guns with extended ambidextrous
safeties was that sometimes the exposed
weak-side safety could inadvertently be
knocked off, leaving me carrying a .45
cocked and unlocked. I also ordered the
gun with a magazine well funnel to aid in
quick reloads. This part also adds about
0.25 inches to the length of the backstrap,
and this seemingly insignificant addition
makes the gun much more comfortable
to shoot. Meprolight tritium sights gave
the gun night-fighting capability, and the
fine 30-lpi checkering on the frontstrap
provides a secure shooting grip without
abrading the hand or tearing clothing.
Kimbers smiths tuned my trigger to
break at a crisp 4.5 pounds per my specifications and coated the frame and slide in
flat black KimPro II finish. At 20 yards, my
five-shot groups averaged less than 1.5
inches with any defense load I fed it. This
pistol earned a spot in my heart on our
first outing. Walking through the desert
to my shooting spot, my foot rolled over
a Mojave rattler. In an instant, the little
Kimber had separated the snake from its
head with a CorBon 165-grain PowRBall
round before it could strike me. It was
this gun that I used a couple years later
to keep me safe during Operation Wide
Receiver. Like the Classic Custom, it is a
gun that Ive always been able to count on
and it has never let me down.

checkering, flat-top slide and ultra-thin
rosewood grip panels. It is a perfect gun
for those with small hands! But what
really made me a fan of the Aegis pistol
was its unbelievable accuracy. When I
tested this gun eight years ago, four out
of the five loads I used printed five-shot
groups under an inch at 20 yards! It is
the most accurate 9mm pistol I have ever
tested, never mind that it is a lightweight
subcompact with a short sight radius!

The derringer is the original pocket pistol. When lighting a candle taper to see
at night was the only option, lawmen,
gents and outlaws hid small single- or
double-shot percussion pistols in their
vest pockets, boot tops or even up their
sleeves. In 1866, Remington introduced
a game changer in pocket pistols, the
Model 95. This new design had over/
under barrels. The Model 95 was a
single-action (SA) derringer, meaning the
hammer was cocked to fire the pistol. It
was stripped of its triggerguardit used
a spur triggerand the sights were rudimentary at best. It was also flat so it could
be tucked just about anywhere, and it was
chambered in a variety of rimfire calibers.

Added-Firepower
Most people cite the extra magazine capacity and larger grip as main advantages
to a full-size pistol. It is also sometimes
true that a full-size pistol may be more
reliable than a subcompact pistol.
Taking Glock autopistols as an example, you are able to carry 17+1 rounds
of 9mm in the full-size, whereas in the
compact you get 15+1 and in the subcompact you get 10+1 (with flat baseplate).
Those extra seven rounds of capacity
nearly double your rounds in the pistol

FULL-SIZE CARRY
10 Tips For
Full-Size
Concealment
1. Use a quality, purpose-built belt.
2. Use a quality, weight-supporting
holster designed for your handgun.
3. Look for firearms that offer
snag-free designs.
4. Carry extra mags/lights on your off
side to help distribute weight.
5. Bend at the knees, instead of the hips,
to lessen printing.
6. Opt for polymer or other lightweight
frames to save weight.
7. Opt for a thin gun even if using a
full size model.
8. Choose an outside-the-waistband
(OWB) holster that rides high and tight.
9. Buy pants in the proper size.
10. Choose a proper cover garment.

will differ from a normal belt in thickness and stiffness. The CrossBreed Gun
Belt is made from two pieces of leather
sewn together and in the end measures
nearly 0.25 inches thick. Other brands
of gun belts may use synthetic materials to achieve a similar stiffness. Many
of todays gun belts can be bought will a
polymer stiffener sewn in for extra rigidity. Some even offer integrated Velcro for
use with holsters that also use Velcro to
ensure your holster will stay where you
intend it to.

dont have anything supporting the outside of the holster, so I prefer full loops.
Full loops do require a bit more time
to put on, but carrying a full-size does
require some sacrifice.
For OWB I recommend RKBA
Holsters. I have used their OWB Kydex
holsters many times, including in training
classes. The holster keeps the pistol high
and tight to the body, making concealment with a proper cover garment a
breeze.
IWB carry is nice because the majority
of the pistol is hidden behind your pants.
This method only requires a cover garment to cover the grip and rear of the
slide. Using a full size pistol will require
the use of a slightly more accommodating
cover due to the extra length of the grip.
To make IWB carry comfortable, I
suggest buying pants in a size larger than
normal. You want enough room in the
waistband to be able to insert the pistol
and holster comfortably.
The DeSantis Inside Heat holster is a
great leather IWB holster that uses a single metal clip. The opening is reinforced
to allow easy one handed re-holstering. It
adds minimal bulk and is lightweight.

late 70s, when I handled and
fell in love with a miniature

time. It seemed made for

comfortable set of aftermarket grips. It looked like a 1911

inches) with a single notch, square checkering on the front and backstraps, and
pebbling on side panels. Finishing off the
polymer frame is a beveled mag well, providing a slight shelf on both sides in front
of the thumb safety where the thumb can
rest after disengaging the safety. With the
majority of the XSP being black, the gray
stainless steel thumb safeties, slide catch
lever, mag release and hammer added a
nice visual touch.
Only on the XSPs front sight and ejection port edges did I find sharp edges.
The rest of the pistol is nicely free of any
objectionable sharpness. I dont care
one way or another about a square triggerguard, something most view as an
anachronism from several decades ago

ride against the body. They lack accessory rails, have additional machining on
the frame and slide to further round the
edges and have a rounded (or at least less
angular) triggerguard. SAS pistols are DA
with decocker and have the SRT.
Defensive pistols fit into four basic categories depending on size: full, compact,

In 1990 a Navy SEAL was navigating a mineeld when his pack failed. As his gear tumbled to the ground,
he vowed that if he got out of there alive he would make gear the right way. Today this obsession with
quality applies to everything we do. Were constantly researching, rening and perfecting every detail
to provide gear that wont let you down. Because were not just making stuff. Were honoring a vow.

things along the way as a full-time instructor in firearms and self-defense, and
would like to share them with you now in
the matter of inside the waistband (IWB)
vis--vis outside the waistband (OWB).
Lets look at the attributes of the IWB, and
then those of the OWB, and then a couple
of similarities they share.
Being inside the trousers, the IWB holster has much less of a profile to print,
or reveal the shape of the holstered gun
beneath the concealing garment. Try on
the best IWB and OWB holsters by the
same makers with the same guns and
then stand in front of a mirror at different
angles. Youll see for yourself.

However, you must shift your grip to
reach the button and activate the release.
I used two different .380 Guardians
for this review. The first Ive had for
several years, and I have fired it enough
to smooth the trigger. Once Id put 300
rounds through this gun, then field
stripped it and gave it a good cleaning,
it fed and fired with excellent reliability.
I now carry this gun with confidence;
it functions very reliably. In spite of its
pocket-friendly size, it carries enough
heft to let you know its there.

Trace Lasergrip sight designed specifically for the gun. The sight is adjustable
for both windage and elevation. Simply
squeeze the grip and a bright red dot appears downrange. This makes fast aiming
easier, and I recommend it. The laser
sight is ideally suited for close-range
encounters, particularly in low-light
situations. You dont need to aim with the
small iron sightssimply dab the red
dot where you want the bullet to go and
squeeze the trigger. Exerting the slightest
amount of pressure on the grip automatically activates the laser.

When I fired the new Guardian for accuracy, I was pleasantly surprised with the
results. While recoil is definitely on the
snappy side, the gun punched respect-

SCCY CPX-2 9mm is your answer
for a reliable self-defense solution!
BY STAN TRZONIEC
W
When you look at the history of the icons
in the gun industry, SCCY is a relative
newcomer. With its first pistol introduced in 2005, many folks who know
guns can be skeptical on a new, start-up
company. After all, weve all seen them
before; they come and go, materials
are shoddy, and even with the heavy
demand for defensive handguns, they
never seem to make it to the forefront of
the knowledgeable gun enthusiast.
This new generation of handguns
made by SCCY (known as sky) may
be one of the best of the new breed of
concealable weapons. Chambered for
the 9mm, in the hand, the gun takes up a
little more space than the 4x5-inch color
transparencies I used to use for my commercial photography clients years back.
More and more of these guns are rising
to the top of the market, and with some
of the problems we have in the States its
no small wonder. They are handy to shoot
and fit into a coat pocket or purse. With

On-The-Go
Concealment apparel with a built-in holster can often be more comfortable than
carrying a separate holster. Since the
guns pocket is integral to the garment,
its weight is dispersed and its outline is
shielded. UnderTech Undercover makes
a popular Concealment Tank Top, and
theyve expanded the line with more
options to fit your style. Now available in
black, white or nude, the camisole will
blend well with any outfit. Whether you
choose the full-length or the midrifflength tank, the silky, stretchy fabric is
perfectly comfortable for all-day wear.
Each tank has a holster pocket on either
side for ambidextrous use.
For colder weather, Rivers West has
come out with a Womens Conceal Carry
Jacket. Better than a small-sized mens
coat, this jacket is designed specifically to
fit and flatter women. The holster pocket
is on the lower left side (crossdraw if
youre right-handed) and there are several other pockets to hold any other gear
youd like to carry. The holster is soft with
a retention strap and can accommodate a
full-size handgun. The jacket is rated for
temperatures down to 45 degrees F.
Off-body carry continues to be extremely popular and can be very stylish,
although this method of carry requires
the user to be extra mindful against theft
or loss. Concealed Carrie is a new concealment bag company with a fresh assortment of satchels, totes, clutches and
laptop cases to tempt those in the market
for a bag. All its designs have a separate
compartment for the holster, to prevent
firearms getting entangled with whatever
jumble occupies the rest of the purse.
This dedicated compartment contains a
Velcro pad to which the holster can be
attached in the position and angle of your
choice to make the gun as easily accessible as possible. Concealed Carries totes
and laptop cases are capable of conceal-

Shooting Impressions
The first M&P Shield I brought to the 25yard bench was the .40 S&W. The original
.40 S&W round, and still the most popular, is a subsonic 180-grain load. I used a
plain-Jane generic target/training load:
the 180-grain flat nose full metal jacket
(FMJ) under the Remington UMC brand.
It shot way high, centering a good 5
inches above the aiming marker. The very
first shot wound up dramatically low left
of the four that followed. Because of that
first hit, the total group measured 5.2
inches. The other four had come much
closer to one another, forming a 2.05inch group in two distinct sub-clusters,
including a double. The best three hits
measurement was 1.65 inches.
Next up was a middleweight that

People choose to carry concealed weapons for various reasons, but one common thread is that these people want
to be prepared to handle an emergency
situation, and protect themselves and
others. A firearm is a great tool for this
in certain circumstances, but it is not the
only tool a person may need. We cant fix
every problem with a handgun, but by
choosing our everyday carry items carefully, we can become better prepared to
handle a multitude of problems that life
may throw at us.
It should come as no surprise that I
am going to suggest a reliable handgun
be part of your everyday carry gear. Find a
quality holster that is made for your handgun of choice that retains the handgun
securely and keeps the trigger covered.

concealment for your own defense!
is important to note that, according to
FBI statistics unchanged for many years,
most shootings occur in dim light at ranges of 11 to 20 feet, with approximately
three-plus shots fired in a few very short
seconds. Tailor your practice sessions to
take these factors into consideration.
Over the many years I have carried a
concealed pistol, I have experienced trial
and error with many different handguns
ranging from nothing smaller than a
.380 ACP Walther PPK to a full-size 1911
autopistol. I experimented with both autos
and revolvers, and once I settled on the
correct pistol that met my personal needs
and carry method, I locked in on my
personal choice. From that point on there
was no guesswork. I knew instinctively
what pistol and in what mode I was carrying! There is no time for second guessing
in a crisis.
Bianchis Law
Develop self-confidence with your equipment. Stay calm under pressure. Keep
cool. Practice instinctive shooting under
dim light and close-quarter conditions.
And keep the whole process simple. Know
exactly what your immediate course of
action is before, during and after the
fact. You cant consider gun concealment

XD-S pistols offer
concealability with a bite!

...XD-S 3.3 .45 ACP
pretty much rewrote
the book on what
defines large-caliber
pocket pistols...
on a firearm for personal defense (as opposed to target shooting or hunting) favor
semi-autos that can operate if a situation
arises where the magazine cannot be reloaded in sufficient time or has been lost
or damaged. Granted, its an uncommon
scenario, but knowing that the gun can
fire even if the magazine is gone has to go
into the plus column in my book.
Like all XD-S models, the 4.0 models
use a striker-fired system fine tuned to
reduce trigger take-up and provide a
short reset. Including engaging the blade
trigger safety, there is about 0.5 inches of
travel, and the trigger pull remains crisp
and consistent from shot to shot. Average
pull on the test gun was a nominal 7.3
pounds on the 9mm and an even 8 pounds
on the .45 ACP.

The XD-S 4.0 models feels more substantial in the hand than expected. They still
have a good-sized grip frame, with the
little finger tucked easily under the base
of the standard magazine floorplate. (The
optional extended-capacity magazines
add two rounds and 1 inch of additional
length for a full-hand grasp). The grip
safety engages easily and the center of
balance shifts only slightly forward with
the longer barrel and slide. There is also
the undercut triggerguard that allows the
middle finger to rest higher up when gripping the guns.
For the range test of the 9mm, the
target was set out at a combat distance
of 7 yards. Ammo selection was Federal

The Super Carry Ultra+ .45 ACP has a 3-inch barrel for easy concealment
and a full-length grip with round heel for additional control and comfortable
carry. It weighs just 27 ounces.
Super Carry .45 ACP pistols establish a new benchmark for concealed carry
and personal defense. Built in the Kimber Custom Shop, no aspect of
usability, dependability or performance was compromised. Round heel
frames are easier to conceal and more comfortable to carry. Barrels,
chambers and triggers are machined to critical match grade dimensions for
superior accuracy. Directionally-engaging serrations guarantee fast, positive
operation. The KimPro II finish is self-lubricating and extremely resistant
to both moisture and salt. Quality and performance are everything in a
carry pistol and Super Carry models deliver both to an unequaled degree.
Visit the nearest Kimber Master Dealer and see for yourself.
