Cooler Weather Means Competitive Shooting

Jared Noble - Competitive Shooter
Stolen: because it is incredibly accurate. on Competition Shooting:
"I want you to picture a bonfire....a really fun kick ass bonfire with people that are cool. Then I want you to imagine all your cash assents in a big pile of money next to that bonfire. And you have a shovel, and you're just shoveling all that cash into the bonfire to keep it burning. But strangely you're really happy about it and you have this fancy expensive ass shirt you don't dare wear out in public but only at the bonfire."
Totally accurate, if we're all honest. BUT you can successfully navigate the waters of competitive shooting without spending too much, as long as you choose your gear wisely.
As far as holsters go, a couple of no-brainer things to look out for would be quality and safety. Once you find a couple of brands that implement these into their design, while maintaining legality in all matches, you'll next look for a holster that is made for your specific firearm. This probably narrows it down to about 2 brands, and the winner here will offer a great warranty.
All of our holsters are guaranteed for life. No matter what happens, we'll fix or replace it quickly for free. All you need to do is call.
Here's what we recommend to get started:

Action Sport Competition Holster
Drop Offset Competition Holster
Light bearing Drop Offset Competition Holster
Light bearing Competition Holster
OWB Mag Carrier
Double Mag Carrier
Also pretty necessary is extra retention hardware and a solid competition belt:
Inner/Outer Belt
Retention Hardware
Dual Layer Nylon Tacbelt
Did you know that both our Inner/Outer Belts and our Dual Layer Nylon TacBelts are 100% made in the USA?

Quick Tips:

1. When in doubt, go with ejection port cut style "B". This cut covers the side of the ejection port, making the holster legal in all IDPA divisions.
2. The Drop Offset and Leg Strap are both removeable and are not legal in all matches.
3. Go with the Double Loop when selecting your belt attachment. This allows you to adjust the ride height and cant angle of the holster, attach it to a drop offset later on if you'd like, and switch between multiple belts as the sizing is adjustable!

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...
