THE MIGHTY TITAN
Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is a holster, a holster that I fell in love with as soon as I opened that package. I was contacted by Clif over at Cold War Concealment to see if I would be interested in reviewing one of his holsters. I thought why not, I am a sucker for a free holster. I am just like any gun guy out there and have a box, drawer and tote full of holsters that all were the latest and greatest at the time. But just keep reading it gets better.
I told Clif to send me one for my Sig P 365 in an OWB configuration, he said no problem. In a couple days he contacted me and said here is your tracking number and it was on the way. I started really looking at the holsters he had on his website and he really focuses on the popular Glock, S&W, Springfield, Sig, Taurus, Ruger and smaller Walther models. This is something I found impressive. For some of these models it is hard to get a good quality holster for a, let's say, lower priced firearm. They offer holsters for IWB, OWB, semi autos and a wide array of the popular J frame revolvers.
The owner of the company is retired from the Airforce and is located in North Carolina. The process that is used to make the holster is a taco style, that is vacuum formed over a CNC mold that is cut for your particular firearm. It is then heated and formed together to complete the taco shape. All of the edges are nicely radius to reduce snag and pinch point. The sight channel is large to run suppressor height sights. It has a single adjustment/tension screw below the trigger guard that really makes adjustments and personal tension a snap. The belt loop that came with the holster has numerous adjustment angles and has two slots on each side to fit belts from 1.5” to 2”. I wear a 1.75” belt and it works out great. The OWB holsters are also available with the Safariland QLS fork mounting system.
The day I got the holster I made an IG post that I was going to go ride horses with my new holster. Well I was riding right up until the time I was bucked off, hung up in the stirrups and dragged down the gravel driveway. But hey I wasn't “KILT IN THE STREETZ". Anyway when I gathered myself up, wiped the blood from my face, found my glasses, straightened my cowboy hat back up, the gun was still retained in the holster. The holster had some wear, scratches but it was still in great shape. A few weeks later I took the holster with me on a bear/hog hunt and carried it while climbing up the side of the mountains. After coming out of the briars and laurel bushes the pistol was still retained. I also did some drills at the house on my range in the backyard, the holster sits just perfectly right in front of the hip bone. The mounting system keeps it close to the body, but not to close where my love handles get in the way. I was able to draw and reholster without any issues.
In closing we all have had holsters that we rave about, wear for a bit and then find another one and put that one aside and forget about it. Some we get, have so many attachments on them, you need to be an engineer just to figure it out. I am a K.I.S.S method person, keep it simple stupid. If you are in the market for a holster that is comfortable, reliable, no frills, top quality, family/veteran owned, this is the holster for you. I want to make one point, yes i got this holster for free, this did not sway my decision for writing this article. I write about how things work for me. I am placing an order for an IWB and mag holder this week. I believe in supporting small businesses that make great products, this is the American way.
