Why this course

What it's actually about.

The drawer full of abandoned holsters is a running joke for a reason. Most people buy on price, discover the holster is uncomfortable or unsafe, and stop carrying.

This course covers what actually distinguishes a good holster and how to match one to your body, your firearm and your daily routine.

What it covers

Carry positions and their real tradeoffs
Materials and construction quality
Trigger guard coverage and retention
Belts — the component that makes or breaks the system
Matching a holster to your clothing and daily routine

Who it's for

Anyone who has stopped carrying because it was uncomfortable.
