Product Review
These are two examples of a holster accessory that is available for many different holsters right now that all have the same end result. They push on your belt from the inside of your pants and twist your holster so the butt of your gun is pushed inward toward your body. I initially thought it was for appendix carry holsters only but they also work for any IWB holster. I feel they are a necessity if you want your handgun to conceal well.

Quick Product Overview:
The claw or kick attachments hit the market roughly a year ago and is now made by multiple companies. These attachments are designed to ride against your belt, on the outside of the trigger guard to push the grip of the firearm towards your body. It is quite amazing the difference it can make on mid to full size firearms. These attachments were initially designed strictly for appendix carry. But now they have had success in all IWB carry holster positions. If you are having any issues with concealment at all, this may be the answer to your prayers! Many people are now looking to upgrade to a IWB Kydex Holster with Claw or kick to take your concealment to the next level!
Specifications Of This Product:
These attachments are available in left and right hand. The holes of the are minimum .5″ apart and maximum .75″ to be used with multiple holster products.
What I Like About This Product:
The minute I put them on my holsters I could feel the difference. The gun butt immediately turned toward my body and held it there. There was not the slightest printing of my handgun through my cover garment. So they work really well.
What I Would Change About This Product:
This attachments works very well and does not need to be changed.
Final Remarks:
These are two examples of products that are made on the market. I used these two examples because I have their holsters. If you are interested in this type of attachment, check with your specific holster maker first to see if they have this attachment. If they are made for your specific holster, it will fit perfectly. If they do not have them, then think about ordering from another holster maker. Regardless of who you get them from, they really help your concealability and I highly recommend them.

was designed as the ultimate way to carry a firearm when hiking, camping, backpacking or any other outdoor activity where having a firearm on your hip is inconvenient or impossible. This holster was designed for all day comfort, no matter what you’re doing in the outdoors, the placement of the firearm on your chest enables you to be ready for anything, without compromising on comfort or your choice of firearm.

The Kenai Chest Holster is a perfect pairing with a modern firearm such as the Glock 40 MOS or a classic big bore revolver such as the Ruger Super Redhawk. You can carry as big of a gun as you’d like with maximum comfort and accessibility.

It is pretty easy and will get you what you need. So here goes-what you will need to make your hand sanitizer:
hear me, your everyday carry items can change with your situations. So during this pandemic, I will carry things that I may not carry otherwise. Here are some items that I make sure I have with me, either on my person, in my EDC pack or in my car or at home: Disinfectant spray, wet wipes, hand sanitizer, water bottle, alcohol wipes and a mask.
but may be an item that I keep at home and wipe down my gear as necessary.
are handy to help with any cleanups, hand sanitizer works to keep your hands clean, but is not a substitute for good old soap and water.
work very well too. I keep these for cleaning my glasses but they work fine on your hands as well.
, some may like them and some may not. This item too is very difficult to find in stores. I had to find someone who could make me one, see the picture, very cool! Some people may carry rubber gloves but I choose to wash my hands rather than depend on rubber gloves. If you are looking for other EDC gear, check out my
same thing is happening with disinfectant spray, it is being over-purchased to where it is hard to find sometimes. So let’s make our own!
Tier One Concealment which is a holster and magazine holder combined. These two are joined together using stretch cord which makes it flex with my movements. They make it fit your gun perfectly thus giving it that “snap” fit and it has a neutral cant. It also has a double belt attachment that snaps on your belt to let it ride securely on your belt. It also has a claw which fits against your belt thus pushing the gun butt in toward your side. This is a great idea having everything connected together
Muddy Rivers Tactical where the holster and magazine holder is separate. Muddy Rivers Tactical has to have the fastest turn around time of any holster company I have ever used. My order was delivered to me in one week – now that’s fast! This holster fit my Glock 30 perfectly, the cant is adjustable and it has my favorite belt loops for attachment to my belt. The magazine holder fits my 45 auto magazine very securely too and it also has belt loops for a secure attachment.
Blue Alpha Gear, its the Cobra EDC belt. For being a nylon belt, it is extremely ridgid and holds it’s shape very well. It is very easy to adjust the fit and it has a Cobra buckle that snaps together very well. The nice thing about this belt is it slides to the side very easy thus keeping the buckle out of the way of your holster. No matter what holster I wear it works well with this belt.

for Christmas. I was both surprised and excited, finally a good multi-tool to use as my EDC. The reviews on this have been really good and so many people like it. Is it the largest of multi-tools – No! Are there enough attachments on this tool to make it worth carrying – absolutely! Am I going to cram my pants full of another item? Or put it in a belt holder and put it on my belt? No! I carry the Vertx Dead Letter Sling Pack on a daily basis and I have a pouch that has the Leatherman Skeletool’s name on it. Have I used it yet, yes I have and its great to have it with me at all times. In the months to come I will review this product after I have had time to use it more.
. While I would not have purchased that for myself, it is really kinda cool and will definately come in handy. As the name implies, it has eight mini screwdriver bits that come with this screwdriver, some of them will be quite useful. It is something I will use everyday, probably not, but will come in handy now and then. Because of that, is it really a piece of EDC gear? Well let’s discuss that for a minute. I look at my EDC in terms of how often I will use something, daily use items are in my pockets or on my belt. That way they are definitely with me at arms-reach. Other items that I may not use daily, but will use a little less frequent are in my EDC backpack. So I can get to them quickly.
. This tactical pens went well beyond just being a simple writing instrument. Are there other brands of tactical pens, of course, but I really like the feel and weight of this tactical pen and it is incredibly handy for every day tasks. It happens to be one of the smoothest writing pens I have ever owned, my one gripe is that it only comes in black ink. My preference for writing pens is blue ink and I am happy to say I can order a spare ink cartridge in blue ink, now it truely is my favorite writing utensil.
