Dara Holsters crafts some of the best custom Kydex holsters
in the industry. I recently picked up a Glock 42 pistol for review and was pretty excited when Dara agreed to send me one of the company's inside-the-waistband holsters to round out the package. 

Simple in form and function, the Dara Holsters IWB Kydex holster is molded around the gun from a single piece of thin yet rigid Kydex sheeting. The seam in the front is secured with a single captured adjustable screw with rubber grommet to adjust the retention on the gun. The holster is secured to the belt with any one of three options: standard clip-over, J-hook, or soft leather loops. I chose the clip-over as I like the ability to quickly secure and remove the gun from my waistband.
 
Depending on your desired set-up, the clip-over and J-hook are available in several sizes from 1.5 to 2.5 inches broken down into quarter-inch increments. This allows for a custom and very secure ft to the belt and eliminates the possibility of the holster tilting or inadvertently coming of your belt. If you decide later on that your chosen belt attachment isn't for you, it is easily interchangeable with the others using two large screws.

Glock 42 Dara IWB Holster

I wore my G42 in the Dara Holster for a few months almost daily, and I have to say it is one of the most comfortable holsters I've owned. The Kydex is just thick enough to be rigid without adding bulk and extra weight. The clip held up great even with extreme flexing and the gun stayed put. The retention, via the indented trigger-guard portion of the holster, worked fine but was slightly less than I would've liked even with the main screw torqued all the way down. Slightly more aggressive molding of the trigger guard area would fix that issue and I hope Dara considers that down the road. Other than that I've got no complaints. 

Custom Kydex holsters are a dime a dozen, but if you're looking for one that is solid, lightweight, and simple, the Dara Custom IWB is right for you. Available for a large variety of pistols, and offering multiple options for ride height, pistol cant, and even colors, the Dara IWB can be configured for just about anyone. The price makes the Dara even more appealing, as it can be had for about $50.

How to Carry a Gun while Mountain Biking

Dara Mounted Holster on a Bicycle!   A comfortable, safe and secure way to carry your firearm while riding a bike! The patented Mounted Holster system with RAM tough-claw can be mounted ANYWHERE! This week, we mounted our Walther PPS M@ to a Diamondback Bicycle, who knows where we'll mount it next week! Take a look: The video above show how the tough-claw mounted holster is mounted to the bicycle. With the no-slip rubber lining the inside of the claw, this thing is going nowhere! Here we are showing the stability of the Mounted holster while drawing our gun. As you can probably here, there is a nice audible click to let you know when the firearm is fully seated. The same Military grade rubber retention system, used on all Dara Holsters, is utilized under the trigger guard area. Allowing you to adjust the retention to your desired holding. Pretty cool, huh?

How to Choose the Best Concealed Carry Position

Image
The Best Way to Choose your Concealed Carry Position I work in Customer Service for Dara Holsters and receive a TON of questions daily about what position I would recommend someone to carry. The thing is: there is no one size fits all position. It depends on the gun, your body type, what you wear, etc. So only you can decide where to carry. BUT hopefully this article will give you some good tips on deciding which position to carry at. First things first, you need a firearm. If you already have a carry gun, great! If not, see this article where we give you some tips on choosing a great CCW . Ok, so you've got your CCW in hand. Take the magazine out completely, make sure the gun is completely cleared and begin unloading the magazine. Check and check again that your firearm is cleared, insert the mag and now you're ready. Since the 3-5 o'clock (7-9 o'clock for lefties!) is the most common carry position, let's start there. Stick your unloaded firearm inside your wa...
