Gun holsters existed before firearms themselves, McHale argues, pointing to ancient hunters who needed hands free for inventing fire and other essentials. This practical guide addresses the daunting task of choosing from thousands of available holster models. McHale explains why holster selection proves difficult: stores stock limited varieties, buyers cannot test products beforehand, and countless carry styles exist. The MyGunCulture.com editors document their extensive testing experience, sharing both successes and failures from years of holster trials. McHale covers concealment versus accessibility trade-offs, open versus concealed carry debates, and specialized solutions for women. The guide examines belt holsters, body carry options including undershirts and belly bands, ankle holsters, pocket holsters, and even underwear carry methods. Additional topics include clothing integration, off-body storage, home and vehicle options, plus magazine carriers for spare ammunition. McHale combines practical advice with humor throughout, helping readers navigate expensive decisions that impact safety and lifestyle.
