The Urban Carry Holster – 163
You’ve probably seen the videos online for the Urban Carry holster. It’s the little pouch holster that you put your gun in, and then it all drops inside your pants.

Kenny in Idaho asks about what gear we’ve used in the past that sucks. As it turns out, there really isn’t a lot of stuff that we’ve used that completely sucked, so we end up talking about some things that are pretty decent products, but just didn’t work for us.
