We recently had a chance to attend the Colt Experience at Range Ready in Robert, LA, and the program is quite impressive. As part of the Colt Experience program, participants received two full days of specialized instruction—and got to take the Colt Competition 1911 in 9 mm home with them at the end (okay, …
Review: Safariland Incog X Holster for Glock G17
Safariland may be better known for their duty rigs, but there is also an excellent line of EDC holsters for folks like you and me. The Safariland Incog X Holster is just such an example. Unlike some of their other civilian holsters, this one relies on passive retention rather than the …
