Remora Holsters – First shipment has arrived!

The first shipment of Remora holsters arrived this morning.  They are even better than I had imagined!  So far, I have tried my Ruger LCP 380, Nighthawk 1911, Sig P238, Ruger LC9, and they ALL have great retention of the handgun, and stay in place beautifully.  The concealment is the best I have (not) seen.  Comfort?  You barely know it’s there.  I could not be more impressed.  More reviews to come……

Women, girls taking up guns, shooting in higher numbers – USA TODAY NEWS

By Jennifer Miller, Des Moines Register

DES MOINES, Iowa – There are pink guns. Pink ear protection. Pink shell pouches. For your car, don’t miss the pink “Pistol Packing Princess” sticker. And if you want to pack heat while lunching at your favorite tea room, a purse with a special pistol holster is de rigueur.

All of this is aimed at women who want to own a gun — for protection, for hunting or for sport shooting — a rapidly growing demographic. But don’t let all that girly pink fool you. Women in the United States, and Iowa, for example, take their firearms seriously.

Research by the National Sporting Goods Association shows female participation in target shooting grew by 46.5% between 2001 and 2010. And an October 2011 Gallup Poll found 23% of women own a gun.

In Iowa, a law that took effect on Jan. 1, 2011, making weapons permits available to anyone who met criteria and passed a background check has resulted in huge increases in the number of permits granted to both men and women. In Polk County, where Des Moines is located, the number of women granted permits has outpaced those granted to men by more than two to one, skyrocketing more than 311% between 2010 and 2011.

 

Flash Bang Holster Review

After about 10 days of anxiously waiting, I received the new NRA Flash Bang Holster.  It comes complete with 3 different strap sizes to accommodate all body types.  The holster is made of stiff polymer, smooth on one side, textured on the other.  It is designed to be partially tucked beneath your bra.  This holster was ordered to fit the Ruger LCP .380.

After a dress rehearsal and test drive for a few hours, I arrived at the following conclusions: the holster with Ruger LCP, (full magazine), is concealed extremely well, even with a somewhat snug fitting T-shirt; the textured side clings well to the underneath side of the bra and never moved; the inner surface was smooth and easy on the skin; the position of the pistol grip frame definitely encouraged good posture :)  The retention quality is excellent, while still maintaining quick presentation of the weapon.  Of course, practice reaching beneath the upper garment to access is required.
