Pistol Wear PT-One holster
a law enforcement and military discount and I think that says something about the company and its priorities.
Offi cer James found her long rural runs more comforting when carrying a pistol.
Features T e PT-One was designed with a slight cant instead of the vertical orientation common in bellyband holsters, along with a stiff er construction for the pistol com- partment. T is allows the pistol to ride comfortably and be less likely to poke into the wearer’s abdomen. T ese holsters com- pletely cover the pistol to keep the grips, safeties and sights from gouging into the skin.

I don’t want to be uncouth, but I’ve rarely washed my PT-One and my bride did not express any unpleasantness when she borrowed it. T ese holsters are hand washable for those who still have concerns. Keep in mind that this holster is worn di- rectly against your skin. T at keeps the pis- tol from slinging around during exercise.
