Outside The Waistband (OWB) Holsters Are Becoming More Popular

There are many types of holsters being produced these days for concealed carry. Inside the waistband (IWB), shoulder holster and outside the waistband (OWB) holsters, to name a few. For many years OWB holsters has been limited to open carry but things are beginning to change.

What Is Open Carry?

Open carry is the practice of carrying a firearm in public so that it is visible. It is usually carried in some type holster that is fastened to your belt.

What are the open carry laws:

Colorado: Open carry is legal for people who are at least 18 years old and can legally possess a firearm, except in Denver county and other posted areas.
California: Open carry of handguns is prohibited.
Connecticut: Open carry of handguns is prohibited, effective October 1, 2023.
District of Columbia: Open carry of handguns is prohibited.
Florida: Open carry of handguns is prohibited.
Illinois: Open carry of handguns is prohibited.
New Jersey: Open carry of handguns is prohibited.
New York: Open carry of handguns is prohibited.

What Is Concealed Carry?

Concealed carry is where the firearm is carried in a concealed carry holster and hidden by clothing.

What are some concealed carry laws:

Concealed carry is permitted in all 50 states.
Many states require a permit to carry a loaded, concealed handgun in public.
In Colorado, a resident can only carry concealed in the state using a Colorado Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP).

What About A Gun Belt?

There are many types of gun belts out there that will work great with your handguns. A normal belt that you buy at Walmart or Target will not give you enough support to wear on a daily basis. A handgun needs a certain amount of support when carrying it all day on your belt. There are gun belts out there that are made of leather and also many special fabrics that are very firm and secure and will go with any wardrobe that you have. But you need to consider this option very carefully. If you ignore this choice and try a normal belt with your handgun, you will be very disappointed and probably not enjoy your experience.

So What About OWB Holsters?

Since Concealed Carry is becoming more and more popular, many people are challenging the typical boundaries of concealed carry and the typical inside the waistband holster (IWB) that has been worn for so long is being challenged. IWB holsters are just not the most comfortable holsters to wear even though they are very comfortable. Many gun holster manufacturers are beginning to look at OWB holsters as potential concealed carry holsters and are making them tighter to your hip and therefore more concealable.

There is not a more comfortable holster out there than a good OWB holster and now that they are making them fit your belt closer, many people are considering using an OWB holster for concealed carry.

What Do You Need To Make An OWB Holster A Concealed Carry Holster?

OWB holsters work great for open carry and with a couple minor adjustments to your wardrobe it will turn it into a concealed carry option. All you need to do is wear a firm belt that is designed to hold a handgun and a good cover garment and you are all set for concealed carry. There are many gun belt makers these days, just check the Internet and you will be amazed at how many there are. But it is really important to wear a belt that can stand the weight of a firearm.

Any type of garment that covers the OWB holster from view will work for concealed carry, a coat or jacket, sport coat, vest, untucked shirt, Baggy sweatshirt is all that you need to turn things into concealed carry. Keep in mind that you will need to keep that outer garment on, whether you are inside or outside so it is important to consider your options.

My advice is to wear a light vest or untucked shirt as your inner garment and then put a jacket or coat over the top. That way when you come inside you can take the heavier garment off and leave the lighter garments on to cover your handgun. But you must realize that your cover garment must be long enough to cover the barrel of your handgun, even if you are reaching up to grab something high-up. As you reeach up your outer garment is pulled up higher and can expose the bottom of your holster. So you must keep that in mind when you are choosing the clothes that you wear when you are wearing a handgun.

What OWB Holster Do I Wear?

Those of you that are familiar with my website should already know the answer to this question. My favorite OWB holster is the Belt Aholster made by the Aholster Company, in Telford, Tennessee, Alan does an excellent job and I really like his holsters. These holsters are made from Kydex and that is my favorite holster material.

Kydex is an extremely durable acrylic/PVC alloy, created and distributed from the Kleerdex Corporation. Kydex is extruded in a wide range of colors, patterns, textures, thickness, and grades to optimize long-term performance, appearance, and cost-effectiveness. No other thermoplastic stands up to impact, scratches, and gouging like Kydex. It offers notched Izod Impact resistance to 18 ft. lbs./in. (953 J/m) and is able to withstand various levels of abuse. Due to its high degree of toughness and resilience, Kydex can also be stretched at room temperature to twice its original dimension without breaking.

The material strength of Kydex allows for greater strength with a fraction of the thickness associated with leather concealment holsters. A thinner holster significantly decreases printing.

Your holster will fit the same every time. Whether it is your first draw or your 1000th draw. This means that there are few; if any, adjustments needed to start carrying your holster and firearm.

Kydex holsters can be worn in the rain and do not swell or contract due to sweat, humidity, or extreme weather. In fact, Kydex will help keep the moisture produced by sweating from coming into contact with your firearm because Kydex will not absorb moisture, unlike most conventional holsters.

I like the way these holsters fit your body CLOSE, which makes them a better choice for concealed carry. You can see the way they are shaped that they will attach very close to your body. They snap right on your belt with two rubber straps which holds the holster and gun very securely. And you can also remove this setup quickly and easily when you need to. All you need to do is add a good cover garment and you are all set for concealed carry.

Final Comments

OWB holsters are a very versatile and they are also very comfortable to wear. As stated earlier, many people wear these as open carry holsters and they are excellent for this style of carry. But people are beginning to also wear these OWB holsters for concealed carry as well. Holster manufacturers are making OWB holsters fit very close to the body therefore they can be worn as concealed carry holsters and with the right gun belt and cover garment, concealed carry works great. My only style of concealed carry has been IWB holsters for many many years but lately I have even crossed the line to OWB holsters. They are extremely comfortable and with the right gun belt you do not even know you are carrying a handgun. So if you are new to concealed carry or just looking for a different way to carry your handgun,

GUN BUTTER

Product Review

Excellent Gun Lubricant

Product: Gun Butter

Price: $15.63

Durability: Very High

Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon.com

My Overall Rating: 9.5

Quick Product Overview:

Gun Butter’s Pen Oiler not only makes your gun more durable, but it also lubricates your gun properly to ensure optimal performance every time you clean it! The all-weather lubricant will not burn up or evaporate in summer’s heat; it functions normally in freezing weather and salt air, stays intact during pouring rain, and repels dust and airborne sand in dry conditions which cause wear and failure. It also inhibits corrosion, preventing the formation of rust. The most advanced lubricant for heavy weaponry, as well as your pistol, handgun, rifle, shotgun or firearm of your choice, Gun Butter Oil is not grease, but a gun lube and cleaner that has enhanced lubricity for extreme temperatures and humidity; its oil will resist change and perform consistently below -20 degrees to over 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Gun Butter’s smoothness and consistency is unmatched due to its ease of function. It is ideal for armed forces, police, and top shooting professionals, this high-performing gun lubricant gives break-in protection and clingability (film strength) to maintain its placement. Gun Butter’s gun lubricant cleans, lubricates, and protects metal from rust, moisture, and dramatically reduces wear during all shooting conditions. Gun Butter provides the maintenance your gun needs so that you can use it for a longer period of time. Gun Butter comes in a small bottle with a very long, steel, needle-like applicator, to accurately put a drop of lubricant right where you want it and prevent over-lubrication or making a mess. Made from synthetic oil, this high quality gun protectant packs power into every drop, you can use fewer drops to get excellent results. The complete high-viscosity oil is designed to clean and preserve your gun. Safe and easy to use, this gun lube packs power in every drop. Gun Butter is for all types of metal-to-metal, metal-to-plastic, and plastic-to-plastic mechanisms. Gun Butter excels when applied to fishing reels, bicycles, motorcycles, doors, locks (car and home) and other precision mechanisms. Ideal for heavy weaponry, rifles, AR’s, shotguns, pistols, handguns, and all firearms, it protects wear parts and bore. Continued performance is assured because Gun Butter’s adhesion exceeds the film-strength of molybdenum grease.

Specifications Of This Product:

Material	Synthetic
Brand	Gun Butter
Package Information	Bottle
Liquid Volume	0.25 Fluid Ounces
Recommended Uses For Product	Mechanical, Automotive

What I Like About This Product:

The main thing I really like about this product is that it is thick enough so it stays where you place it. So many other oils will run all over the place so it is hard to keep it in the area that you want. The other thing is the color of this oil is easily seen on a black gun.

What I Would Change About This Product:

Nothing

Final Remarks:

Through the years I have used many different lubricating products on my firearms. Most of them have either been super thin oil that goes everywhere or grease that is a big blob that is hard to not use too much when you use it. Then came Gun Butter which is somewhere in between and I like it!

It comes in two sizes; a 1/4 oz. It says it is a high-performance lubricant designed to minimize friction, improve smoothness, and extend the life of your firearm—and so far it appears to be doing that. The Pen Oiler and a 2/3 oz. bottle, both have a needle-point applicator which works great when applying the product, it is easy to get the oil exactly where you need it, without making a mess. A few drops go a long way, and the lubricant spreads easily. As soon as I applied it to handguns, I noticed an immediate difference. It tends to smooth things out right away. This stuff is really awesome and I may have finally found my #1 gun lubricant. I highly recommend it, you should try it.

Reloading Ammunition, Is It Worth The Time?

I used to reload my handgun ammo; 9 mm, 45 ACP and 44 mag, it was fun, relaxing and rewarding. It was also about 20 years ago and prices of ammo were a lot cheaper then they are right now. Then came COVID and ammo prices went through the roof and they really have not come back down to reasonable prices yet! So what do we do now? Pay the high prices or do we think about reloading? Luckily, I still have all my reloading equipment and most of it is useable today. It is not a big fancy progressive press, like the blue Dillon press in the upper picture, that will turn out lots of bullets in a short period of time. It is just a single stage press, Rock Chucker made by RCBS, thats in the bottom picture, but it will work for either handgun or rifle ammo and that’s what I need. Lets look a bit closer at this topic and let you make a decision.

What is Reloading Bullets?

The process of reloading bullets means to manually assemble ammunition by taking a previously fired cartridge case, and reusing it by adding new components like a primer, gunpowder, and a bullet to create a fully functional round of ammunition, essentially making your own ammo instead of buying factory-loaded rounds; also known as “handloading” in some contexts.

What are some of the key points about reloading bullets:

Components of reloading:
To reload bullets , you need a spent casing, a new primer, a measured amount of gunpowder, and a new bullet.
The Process:
The reloading process typically involves resizing the case, removing the old primer, adding new components, and seating the bullet properly.
The Benefits:
Reloading can be more cost-effective, allows for customization of ammunition based on your specific needs, and can potentially improve shooting accuracy.

Who Can Reload Bullets?

Anyone can reload bullets for personal use, but those who sell or distribute reloads for profit need a federal firearms license (FFL).

Personal use:

Reloading bullets for personal use is legal in most cases
It’s a hobby that allows you to customize ammunition for your firearm
You can save money by reloading your own ammunition

Selling or distributing reloads:

You need an FFL from the ATF to sell or distribute reloads for profit
You also need an FFL to manufacture or import ammunition

What Equipment Do You Need To Reload Ammo?

If you desire to get started reloading bullets it is necessary to get certain equipment:

An Up-to-date Loading Manual
A Reloading press (Single stage or progressive press)
Shell holder
Reloading die set of appropriate caliber
Case lubricant & pad*
Priming unit
Primer tray
Powder scale (graduated in grains avoirdupois)
Powder trickler
Powder funnel
Two reloading blocks
Dial indicating caliper (graduated in 0.001” increments)
Case trimmer with pilot
Deburring tool

How Do You Reload Bullets?

What is the reloading process?

You need some reloading equipment which was detailed in the section above.
You need reloading components: primers, powder, bullets, and brass to reload ammunition
Once the press and other equipment is setup for the caliber that you are reloading, You assemble the ammunition using previously fired cartridge cases at the specifications in your reloading manual.
Part of the fun with reloading is experimenting to make the perfect load for your firearm, that includes adjusting the amount of powder and bullet depth to find the right combination
You can customize the load for your specific firearm, purpose, and preferences. But it is important not to exceed the maximum powder that is suggested in your manual.

What Ammo Can You Reload?

Basically, any centerfire bullets can be reloaded, but rimfire cartridges cannot. A centerfire cartridge is a type of ammunition that has a primer in the middle of the base of the cartridge casing. Centerfire cartridges are used in handgun, shotgun and rifles.

Some examples of centerfire – 9mm Parabellum, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .45 ACP, 5.56×45 NATO/.223 Remington, .30-30 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, 7.62×51/.308 Winchester

A rimfire cartridge is a type of ammunition where the primer is located in a rim around the base of the cartridge case. When fired, the firing pin strikes the rim, igniting the primer and propellant.

Some examples of rimfire cartridges – .17 Hornady Mach 2 (.17 HM2), .17 PMC/Aguila (.17 High Standard), .17 Winchester Super Magnum (.17 WSM), .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR), .22 Short, .22Long, . 22 Long Rifle (LR), . 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR)

Can You Save Money By Reloading?

With the current cost of ammunition, some shooters may be considering handloading to save money. While it’s true that reloaded ammunition can cost less than factory ammunition, the thought that you’ll save money may not be true.

At the present time, 1,000 rounds of cheap 9mm FMJ ammunition will cost you about 36 cents per bullet to purchase. That works out to $18.00 per box of 50 or $36.00 per box of 100, up to $360.00 for a box of 1000. If we assume that you already have 1,000 – 9mm pre-shot cases, the rest of the components (bullets, powder, and primers) to reload 1000 bullets would cost you about $295.00. That means you will save about $65. Now if you are reloading rifle bullets, the components are a little more expensive, but you can also save a little more money. Again, if you already have the brass casings to reload 1000 rounds of .223 Remington FMJ ammo, the other components will cost you about $320.00. Now if you compare that to the least expensive factory ammo, you will save about $180.00.

Now the last thing to consider is your time. Our time is really pretty valuable, but each persons time is a personal decision. What is the value of your time? With some practice, you can put out about 300 rounds per hour using a progressive press. If you’re using a single-stage press, like me, you might load as many as 100 rounds per hour on a good day. So that means it’s going to take you somewhere between 4 and 10 hours to load a thousand rounds.

So to sum this up, if you have to buy brass and you put a significant value on your time, then there is a good chance that you will lose money by reloading your bullets. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. Reloading takes time, but we usually find the process to be very enjoyable. There’s a lot of satisfaction in creating the best ammo for your guns that is reliable and accurate.

Final Comments

So what did we find out? Depending on your equipment and reloading expertise will determine whether you save money by reloading your bullets. Plus, the quality of today’s ammunition is so good that you can almost certainly find a factory load that performs well in your gun. But even though reloading may not be a money saver, you can most likely come up with a handload that performs even better in your firearm.

So with those things in mind, reloading bullets is something that most of us would be willing to spend money on. But if you are a perfectionist-type, this might become an addiction that can come with dialing in the perfect round. I am not saying everyone that reloads becomes addicted, but it can happen depending on the type of person that you are. This is not a warning but just a comment of what may start out as a way to save money can become a great hobby of hobbies. I would not consider myself an addict about reloading, it is just something that I enjoy doing, it is very fun to reload bullets and also very relaxing at the same time. But it is also something you need to concentrate on so you do it correctly.

So if reloading seems like something you might enjoy then start watching for someone who is selling out their reloading equipment. Or check around at different gun stores to see if they have any used equipment, that is how I got started. If that does not work then watch for sales on reloading equipment and then start collecting stuff a little at a time. If you have any question then write a comment. Happy Reloading!

The lighter comes in many colors so you can get the color that matches your taste. It looks great, and holds up to being dropped. It starts fires well and the extending head works great to minimize burns.

What I Would Change About This Product:

I have not used it long enough to make that decision.

Final Remarks:

The LCFun Arc Lighter is both windproof and waterproof, it is a flameless dual arc plasma lighter, which means it works even in bad weather conditions. Whether it’s windy, rainy, or snowy, this lighter will light and work no matter what. What sets this lighter apart from regular lighters is that its USB C rechargeable. If you couple this lighter with a solar charger, it willl keep this lighter charged no matter where you go. So I highly recommend this lighter for anyone that uses the outdoors.

What I Like About This Product:

This Diodrio Belt Pouch works perfect, it is just the right size to fit my belt. The material is heavy duty enough to protect what’s inside, but lightweight. Good materials and the craftsmanship is excellent quality.

What I Would Change About This Product:

Not yet

Final Remarks:

This Diodrio Belt Pouch works just as its intended. The waxed cotton material is nearly water proof but the construction, zipper, and loops in back are heavy duty- which is great. These pouches were reasonably priced and it would fit two wallets, a phone and a pair of sunglasses without worrying about damage or losing anything. Items inside are secure enough to prevent pickpocketing thief’s from helping themselves to your gear. If you need a pouch for some of your small gear you might check this one out.
