After obtaining your concealed carry permit and a handgun that you are completely comfortable with, the next highly important step before you are ready to begin carrying your firearm is to purchase a quality holster.


Having the right holster will allow you to easily conceal your weapon in a way that is comfortable and easy to access. Without the right holster, carrying your weapon may become such a hassle that you neglect to carry it at all.


In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about the best concealed carry holsters, including the types of holsters that are available, which holsters are best for various situations, and how to choose the holster that is right for you. 


The Best Holsters for Concealed Carry


There are several different types of concealed carry holsters available, each with their own set of advantages. The most common types of holsters

For this video, we'll be going over the Glock 26 & 27, and showing you how to take it apart and clean it! We decided to do them both in the same video, since they are so similar. Often referred to as the "Baby Glock," the G26 & G27 are extremely popular subcompact handguns, often used by both civilians and law enforcement as a concealed carry/back-up gun.


The Glock 26 is chambered in 9mm, and the Glock 27 is chambered in .40 S&W. The 26 has a magazine capacity of 10 with a standard flush fit magazine, but it also accepts larger magazines from other Glock 9mm pistols, like the 19 or 17.

This gives it a magazine capacity of 15, 17 or even 30+ rounds with aftermarket magazines. For the 27, it's standard magazine capacity is 9 rounds, but again, you can use those other .40 cal Glock mags for it.

The Kahr P40 is an extremely popular double action only (DAO) striker-fired pistol, especially for concealed carry. It comes in two models, the P40, which is all-steel, and the PM40, which features a polymer frame.

The barrel is stainless steel and comes in at 3.5 inches. The slide and frame are slim, which adds to the concealability and ergonomics of the P40. There is no external safety, just the slide lock/takedown pin.

The P40 has a magazine capacity of 6+1, and it may be a little "picky" about what type of ammunition it likes. The Kahr is very popular for its ergonomics and ease of use.

2016 was an interesting year for guns. As the elections got closer, more and more Americans went out and purchased guns. In January 2016 alone, FBI statistics show that around 2.5 million background checks were run for gun sales. And that was just for one month.

Add to that national tension with regards to racism, firearms, and “mainstream media”, it seems that the time is right to have another discussion about carrying a firearm. This is going to be discussed as a head to head so we can see the pros and cons to each, using the criteria of:

1. Keeping a low profile
2. Ease of use
3. Becoming a target

Keeping a Low Profile

In this video, we're going to be showing you how to properly attach the Viridian R5 (Reactor) laser to the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield. The Shield we're using in this video is a 9mm, but it would work the same with the Shield .40 S&W or Shield .45 ACP.

The R5 laser features ECR, or Enhanced Combat Readiness, technology which allows for a very easy on/off of the laser when you draw it from an ECR-compatible holster. The laser will turn on when the gun is drawn, and turn off when reholstered.

This means that in those precious seconds of drawing and sighting, you don't have to worry about turning on a laser. Continue scrolling for the full video!
