We like Raven Concealment holsters the way fat chicks like chocolate, so we thought we’d pass it along. As some of you know, we ran an article [...]

We had a great visit with the folks at London Bridge Trading Company at SHOT and as always they are on the cutting edge of better, lighter and tactically relevant. This pack is a new favorite of mine and you guys should definitely check it out for yourself. I’m a minimalist at heart and this [...]
