It's almost that time! Unless you've been living under a rock the last few days, you may have noticed a huge increase in foot traffic at all of your local retail spots. Holiday Shopping is now in full swing as Christmas approaches. This time of year is filled with excitement and anticipation, however, everyone has that one person in their family that is difficult to buy for.

Right now we are spending the last few months of the summer and early fall, getting ready for the Holidays. Around this time we start thinking about new products that we'd like to bring out, Holidays sales and also which products we want to highlight from other companies. In November we will come out with our Holiday Shopping Guide, showcasing our favorite products and gift ideas for different ages and genders. A lot of our gift ideas have started selling out after we make the post, so we're going to be doing it in increments this year! One of our favorite new companies is a local T-Shirt Company called Psalms Apparel. The company statement is simple, and one that probably resonates with alot of you: In a world filled with fear and strife. When hope seems fleeting, and war inevitable. There is a peace that surpasses it all. A strength that rises above. A love that saves. Psalms Apparel is a company for those who know where true victory comes from. On the front lines ...

Check out the Custom Kydex Paddle Holster for the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield in Brown Leather Texture. The Custom Paddle Holster here has a mid ride height and straight draw. Perfectly suited for carry at the hip. Now is the time to purchase a Custom OWB Holster, the current lead time is just about 8 days for any custom holster. As we near the Holidays the lead time will extend due to higher volume. The Video above shows the color and texture of the holster quite nicely. It's the best mix of both worlds- the reliability and sturdiness of Kydex and the classic look of a leather holster. Grab your Kydex Paddle Holster  here  for an easy on/off Outside the Waistband carry solution. Cooler weather is coming- which means daily carry is going to become easier and more comfortable under a jacket!

Our Custom Quick Ship AIWB Holster Update! What is the  main difference  between our Custom AIWB Holster, and our Custom  Quick Ship  AIWB Holster? The  Custom AIWB Holster  is able to be completely built from the ground up. You can choose from our full selection of 300+ firearm models and select everything from the ride height to the cant angle and so on. The est. wait time is about 2-2.5 weeks. Our  Custom Quick Ship Holster  is available for quite a few firearms (not all) and is offered with a  set ride height and cant angle  (our most popular specs Mid Ride / Straight Draw) and in 3 different colors. You can still choose your belt attachment option, but it's essentially set up for the fastest manufacturing time to get the holster out faster than a regular Custom AIWB Holster order. The est. wait time is about 5 days. And to confuse you even further, we do offer some  Quick Ship AIWB Holsters ! These are in stock ready...

This is a very common question that many new carriers ask in the forums.  The main things you need to successfully carry concealed are: A reliable firearm that you're comfortable shooting. A good sturdy gun belt with at least 2 layers of material. A safe, quality holster. The above mentioned are all you need to successfully carry concealed (or open for that matter) and are not too hard to find.  Good firearms to start out with are single stack 9mm's. They're easily found and numerous in quantity. You can't really go wrong with any of the most popular: Walther PPS, PPS M2, Glock 43, Shield 9mm, XDS 3.3, etc.  Most of the time carriers will start out with a single stack 9mm and work their way up in size once they're confident they can conceal more capacity. A good gunbelt is a bit trickier. Just because a belt has "Tactical" in it's name, does NOT mean it's a good gunbelt. There's nothing "tactical" about a single layer...

Introducing the new gen 5 Glock... for both Glock 19 and Glock 17. These newer generation Glocks feature a flared magwell design towards the bottom of the grip. The finger grooves in the grip have been done away with and a right side slide release make the gen 5's fully ambidextrous, while retaining the reversible mag release from previous generations. Along with some internal upgrades, the gen 5's will also exclusively feature a "nDLC" finish- reportedly tougher than any of Glocks previous finishes. Great news for anyone planning on holstering this firearm! Speaking of Holstering the gen 5 Glock 19 and Glock 17: Dara Holsters now offers Glock 19 and Glock 17 gen 5 Custom Holsters. These are designed to fit the new ambi-slide lock feature and won't wear down your slide lock over time due to unnecessary grinding.

Why is it so hard to carry concealed as a woman? I'll tell you: we're built differently, we wear different things and there aren't many holsters designed specifically for women. Well, until now. These Concealed Carry Shorts are a must have for any woman! They can conceal up to a full sized M&P 2.0, and anything smaller. I've tried them with everything from a pencil skirt or dress to work out shorts and denim cut offs shown above, they never fail to conceal. The shorts are very elastic and tight fitting, to keep the gun close to the body. As you can see in the picture above, the shorts have a thick lining that serves as a holster. While there is no reinforced Kydex trigger guard protection, there is a retention strap (not shown in above picture, but shown in the denim cut offs picture) that holds the gun tight inside the pocket. The pocket is deep enough and large enough to accommodate a Kydex t...
