When the Christmas presents are unwrapped, guys silently moan, \u201cGreat, another necktie.\u201d Gals sigh inaudibly \u201cTerrific, another scarf.\u201d\u00a0 And each gender tries not to visibly roll their eyes as they think \u201cAarrgghh, more socks.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the pistol packers in your life, consider giving \u2026 holsters.<\/p>\n

Precision Holsters<\/a> (precisionholsters.com) is run by a man I\u2019ve come to know and respect, John Marques.\u00a0 He does some fine things with Kydex, and has recently branched into top-quality leather dress gunbelts.\u00a0 For the last several weeks, I\u2019ve been wearing one of the latter. I like the extra attention paid to the edging, the way the double layers of leather hold the holster tight to the body so the gun conceals better and is always where you expect it to be when you reach for it. I like that he uses tough shoulder hide, not \u201cbelly leather.\u201d He spaces the belt notches at every \u00be\u201d instead of the usual inch, which gives the wearer more latitude for adjustment.<\/p>\n

The holsters themselves I\u2019ve been using for a while now.\u00a0 I\u2019ve won shooting contests drawing a Glock from his forward-tilt, open-top hip scabbard, and I like the security of the \u201cCourt Holster\u201d for the Smith & Wesson Shield .45 he designed for the police department I served for 27 years.\u00a0 The agency in question issues a Smith & Wesson M&P .45 full size with tactical light in a Safariland holster for uniform patrol wear, and the smaller Shield for plainclothes, off duty, and administrative assignments such as court appearances, hence its name.<\/p>\n

If you are sure what your \u201cgiftee\u201d carries, where they like to carry, and whether they\u2019re right- or left-handed, you can place your order toll-free at 800-575-9374.\u00a0 If it\u2019s for one of the common guns, they can probably get it to you in a week or so, plenty of time for you to get it gift-wrapped and under the tree.<\/p>\n

Precision Holsters are used and endorsed by National Champion Mike Seeklander.\u00a0 Ace instructor Wes Lagomarsino recently used one to win Stock Service Revolver Champion at one of the largest IDPA matches in the country. Wes was using an inside the waistband version for his big Smith & Wesson Model 686 .357 Magnum revolver, and he found it comfortable and concealable as well as fast.\u00a0 That says a lot.<\/p>\n

Thanking John Marques for making the great holster and belt for the Glock I’m carrying that day.<\/em><\/strong>
