What kind of holster do I need

Visit the web page Bam Bam Holsters

The question is asked over and over, "what kind of holster do I need?".  Always by the new concleal carrier of a fire arm and often by the experienced.

Couple of questions to ask yourself.......

  • What size gun am I going to carry?
    • The bigger the gun the more difficult to conceal, and weight is often the discouragement. 
  • Am I going to carry Inside the waist band or outside the waist?
    • IWB is for sure the easiest way to conceal, yet OWB is usually the most comfortable.
  • What position on the belt am I going to carry?
    • Most carry on the hip or 3:00 -5:00
    • Appendix or high noon, is another common place
    • Small of the back can be more comfortable than one might think.
    • What works for one does not necessarily work for you. Everyone's body build is different and often physical limitations play into the decision process.  
Of course the easiest answer to the above questions (especially if your not sure of the answers) is a holster that can be worn in all the positions.....the OMNI.

They Don't Understand Until They See It

Visit the web page Bam Bam Holsters

I have described the OMNI holster to so many people and they just don't understand it until they see it. Then the say " Oh I see what your saying now, It can literally be worn in any position".  The page on the Web site  explains it, so I repeat that here.

The clip is anchored with a screw and not sewn in place. It can swivel 360 degrees giving the adjustable cant of the gun for carry in any position.  The disadvantage of any single clip holster is less stability than a double clip holster, and the "not sewn in" (though the clip will remain tight) gives a little more movement, but for the added versatility ......cant be beat.

A previous blog describes how it is the best holster a new conceal carrier can buy.  It takes a while to figure out how you are comfortable carrying a fire arm, and with the Omni yo can experience all of them.

So often it takes seeing it to understand what I ma getting

Full Time For A Week


Most people know that my holster business is not a full-time business. I have a day job like everybody else, except I come out early in the morning and late in the evening and work on holsters instead of watching TV. My day job gets slow during the winter time and the week between Christmas and New Year's is always slow. This year, because of the weather, I was off all week..

So I got to experience a week of full time holster making. Luckily, I received several orders to give me plenty of work to do. During this week I worked as many hours as I would usually work in a three weeks. There was a time, that more than three hours of holster building would leave me a little punchy. But I would have to say that I have enjoyed this week immensely. From the business end of things, I know that it will be sometime before I can even think about doing this full time.  But at least now I know that I could like doing it all day, every day..
