(L to R) 1. The new Blade-Tech Eclipse is a dual-slot, open-top holster that still retains a holstered weapon quite well. 2. NTAC is a new company that specializes in Kydex carry rigs, which maximize concealment while maintaining comfort and access. 3. The Wilderness Safepacker looks like anything but a holster. It is shown here with the more conventional Zip Slide holster and matching magazine pouch.
the difference. The Rhino holster is a Kydex belt rig, designed to wear between the belt and trouser band. The back of the holster has a slim, elongated paddle that slips into the waistband. The outside of the holster has a snap-down belt loop that can be adjusted for belt width. The belt goes around the outside of the holster body and is cinched down to hold the gun close to the body. The gun draws quickly and cleanly from the rig, and allows you to hide a pretty good size handgun under light clothing. Folks in Southern Florida simply love them under a loose shirt.

Galco The company who brought us the
Miami Classic and Jackass shoulder rigs, also makes a number of low cost — but very effective — concealment
rigs. Their most recent introduction is a leather/Kydex hybrid called the TacSlide. Basically a “bikini”- or “band-aid”-style holster, the Tac- Slide uses a leather band with dual belt slots and a molded Kydex hol- ster pouch on the outside. Once the holster is mounted on the belt, the outward pressure of the torso helps lock the pistol solidly in place due to the precision molding of the Kydex. The vertical cant of the Tac-Slide hides the gun well, while holding the grip solidly in place so the shooting hand can easily fi nd it. Fast, secure and well concealed are all attributes of the TacSlide. Did I mention the holster costs less than thirty bucks?

John Hibberd makes a quality Kydex rig with precision molding that holds the handgun solidly in the holster pouch. John is also willing to work with the customer to design the exact holster they desire. Sweat shields, degree of cant, height of ride and type of attachment are all features that NTAC offers at no additional cost. The fl at profi le hides the gun very well under minimal clothing and a matching magazine pouch can be added. The NTAC holster is unique in that it can be used as either an OWB or IWB rig depending on which attachments are screwed on to the holster body. NTAC holsters are tough, solidly built, reasonably
