Several factors come into play when choosing an everyday carry gear for your firearm. Whether openly carrying or carrying concealed, these factors eventually affect every armed citizen. From discovering that one comfortable holster, for both open and concealed carry, to even comfortably carrying additional magazines, a lot of trial and error will be made. Unless the proper research is done beforehand. Even once a reliable holster is found for both a firearm and additional magazines, choosing a durable belt will be the next hurdle.
Everyday Carry Gear | Blade Tech Industries Edition
Fortunately, Blade Tech Industries located in Puyallup, Washington is a one-stop shop for holsters, belts and firearms accessories no matter which platform of a sidearm or even primary rifle is being carried. With several holsters that offer an ambidextrous approach to carrying a firearm, Blade Tech Industries offers the top of the line EDC (Every Day Carry) gear for their customers.
Many Blade Tech holsters even offer an IWB (Inside Waistband) and OWB (Outside Waistband) option within the same holster, allowing the armed citizen to openly carry and concealed carry when the occasion calls for it.
The Total Eclipse
The Total Eclipse holster by Blade Tech Industries is an ambidextrous holster, providing reliability for both left and right-handed shooters. By simply reversing the belt loops, the Total Eclipse holster can be placed comfortably on either side of the hip. The Blade Tech Total Eclipse holster also comes with additional adjustable and removable belt loops to allow the wearer an outside the waistband or inside the waistband carry option.
Simply put, the Total Eclipse holster offers every wearer, regardless of left/right-hand dominant, a six-in-one carry system that accommodates both open and concealed carry positions. The Total Eclipse holster is also capable of a straight drop position or an FBI can't for individual preferences.
With many different style holsters available, very few actually offer an IWB (Inside Waistband) or an OWB (Outside Waistband) option within the same holster. This allows for wearers to focus on one holster for both open carry and concealed carry days.
The various belt attachments also offer the wearer the option of sliding their carry belt through the loops located on the holster itself, or simply hooking the holster on over the belt while already on. Both options offer a snug and comfortable retention when withdrawing the firearm from an open or concealed carry position. The Total Eclipse holster by Blade Tech Industries is by far one of the most comfortable and versatile holsters available on the market.
Single and Double Magazine Holsters
Blade Tech Industries offers a variety of single and double magazine holsters for individuals who carry backup magazines to their sidearm. However, one of their most popular styles of magazine holsters is the Eclipse Style single and double magazine holsters by Blade Tech Industries.
The Eclipse Style holsters feature a Quick E-Loop that allows the wearer to quickly and comfortably attach and remove additional magazine holsters while their belt is already being worn. This feature is great for responsible citizens, law enforcement and of course military personnel.
While worn the Eclipse Style holsters contour well with the body regardless of positioning and movement. On the field, the Eclipse Style single magazine holsters, as well as the Eclipse Style double magazine holsters, do not cause any obstruction or interference when undergoing sidearm drills.
In fact, during firearms exercises, such as FBI Pistol Qualifications courses, where 50 rounds or more are required these Eclipse Style holsters by Blade Tech Industries make for a great addition as they can be easily attached and removed per firearms training course.
Choosing A Reinforced Belt
Wear and tear tend to occur on the belt when carrying a firearm in a proper holster as well as additional magazines every day. To counter this is, it is recommended to upgrade to a belt that is better than a standard leather belt. For example, the Blade Tech Industries EDC (Every Day Carry) Belt has a durable nylon reinforced BioThane construction that ensures durability for the wearer regardless of firearm type.
The EDC Belt by Blade Tech Industries provides flexibility as well as mobility with a tensile strength of upwards of 4,500 pounds. The belt is specifically designed to carry additional magazines, handcuffs and all types of sidearms comfortably.
If choosing to open carry or carry concealed on a daily basis, it is important to differentiate between belts designed for consistent stress and for style. Many common mistakes for individuals who carry a firearm are that they will purchase an expensive leather belt that was not originally intended for stress, just for style.
Instead, choose between belts with the sole purpose of carrying a firearm. This way, money will be saved from not destroying a perfectly good everyday carry belt. As well as, peace of mind is kept by choosing a reputable belt.
