I have a bad habit of having backups, not only with guns but holsters too and most everything else. I live in Kentucky and opened carry till 5 years ago when I got my permit to conceal a weapon. I bought a Desantis holster then, a dual carry 2, I bought two of them so I would have one for IWB...

i live in kentucky and have my ccdw permit, it is now time to renew for another 5 years for $70. however kentucky passed a law starting on July 1st that a permit isn't needed to carry conceal. my only problem is that i go to Tennessee about 4-5 times a month to shop, each time lasting about 3-5...

i have a duel carry 2 from desantis, it is not molded to my gun although desantis says in time that it will shape itself to the gun. they claim to never add anything to a holster but i can't see the leather never needing anything at all. do ya'll add anything on your holsters from time to time...

Do any of you think it's needed to have a sweat shield on a iwb leather holster? I am on a very tight budget and found a pro carry hd holster on amazon for $19 free ship molded to my gun, i bought it. the one with sweat shield was $42 after shipping, i know most times the shield is only $10 more...

i just bought a couple holsters for my ruger security 9, the owb is polymer and made for it and the iwb is for a glock 19 but the ruger fits snug like it was made for it. my only problem with both is the muzzle comes out about 1/4" or less on both holsters, i've looked online and have found some...

i have a ruger lcr revolver, i wipe it down each day after i am through carrying it. i have oiled the mainspring a couple times in two years, it seems fine and rust free but dry each time i have done it. should i oil it more often?, less? i don't want to take the grip off any more than...

i went to my local wal mart tonight to pick up a few things and ended up at automotive and sporting goods:), their rem oil was up to $7 a can. i went across and looked at oil and remembered about people liking mobile 1, i looked and most was$8 - $10 a quart, then i saw some on clearence, i hope...

i am getting a set of Pachmayr grips for my ruger lcr 9mm and they recommend to use armor all for occasional wipe down to protect them. i called ruger and they don't know, armor all said it should be fine as did Pachmayr, but i wanted to ask to see if anyone has used it on a grip of a lcr and if...

i have a ruger lcr 9mm and while it hasn't jumped crimp yet, i still think about when it might. all my ammo is freedom munitions all 3000rds of 124 and 135 grain. i was wondering is there a way i could go through the ammo and crimp it tighter? if i could, what would be the cheapest way of doing...

i just got a blackhawk size 3 pocket holster, it doesn't let the trigger guard go all the way in. the size 4 didn't show the lcr as fit so i got the size 3 cause the package said it would fit. i have never pocket carried so i don't know, is this the way its suppose to fit? i thought everything...

been wearing my sof tuck for a day or so and like it a lot, had a friend to come over today to shoot a little. he was telling me all suede leather is chrome tanned and will ruin the finish on my gun. i searched online and found that chrome tanned lether is bad for gun holsters but nothing about...

i have a lcr 9mm, i went and got me a desantis sof tuck. it is very soft suede, the shop owner told me never use silicone or dressings as they contain oil. however he said that using atsko sno seal beeswax will stiffen the leather. he said to wrap my gun in plastic wrap, warm the holster and...

i have a beretta nano and carry it daily in either a barsony owb holster or tagua iwb holster. now every night when i take it off i remove the gun from the holster and wipe it down with a lightly oiled rag and store it out of the holster. i only get to shoot it about once a month or so, but i...
