Blade Show 2016 kicks off today (June 3) and among the new knives on display, you will find this sleek beauty from Bastion LLC – The Partizan. The saber ground D2 steel blade tucks away into a titanium handle with frame lock. It also includes features like a slender pocket clip, lanyard hole, and a carved pivot pin. Visit Blade Show booth 704 to see the Partizan which will be available in limited numbers.
I was cruising the Black Rhino Concealment website yesterday, looking for a holster, and noticed something I hadn’t noticed before. They give you a free Trigger Guard Holster with the purchase of one of their CCS Inside the Waistband holsters. I’ve written about these trigger guard holsters before and their usefulness (and safety) for certain types of carry.
This isn’t a Memorial Day sale or anything like that. This is a deal that they offer everyday. Check out the CCS Holster with free Trigger Guard Holster at Black Rhino Concealment.
You may know Recycled Firefighter for their wallets made from reclaimed firehose material but they have been pushing into new materials and new gear beyond just wallets… way beyond just wallets. Their upcoming Everyday Carry Backpack called the The Chief will feature a heavy dose of Recycled Firefighter style along with a heaping helping of durability.
The Chief Everyday Carry Backpack will be constructed from black 1000D Cordura Nylon with various accent colors/materials. There will be at least 4 versions available initially including Coyote Roughout Boot Leather with Multicam Accents, Black Combat Boot Leather with Multicam Black Accents, Tan Boot Leather with MulticamArid Accents, and a Bunker Gear version. All versions will have the same organization and construction features.
The bag has a zippered slip pocket on the front behind the accent panel. The main compartment is accessed via a #10 YKK zipper that allows full, lay-flat panel loading. Inside the main compartment you’ll find 2 organizer pockets and a laptop sleeve. The shoulder straps are 3″ wide at the top so that they don’t have to be bulky in order to support weight. The straps, back panel, and bottom all use 1/2″ closed cell foam for padding and the bag features a sturdy grab handle.
Since bringing in the GunfightersINC Kenai Chest Holster for review, I have received a significant amount of emails regarding it and had several discussions about its merit in situations beyond just its intended backcountry use. If you or someone you know is facing temporary or permanent physical impairment, take note.
I have discussed the use of the Kenai with Michael Bane. He has used chest holsters while hiking but also during recovery from a surgery. Some of Michael’s considerations for carrying a firearm during his recovery where chronicled on one of his television shows – The Best Defense. There was a recent episode dedicated wholly to carrying and defending one’s self while impaired. It showed graphically the issues with firearm access while using crutches or while forced to wear the types of clothing that you must wear during this type of recovery. The only viable solution was to carry a firearm higher on the body as you would with a shoulder holster or the Kenai Chest Holster.
I have had similar discussions with Dann at God, Gals, Guns, Grub and there was a recent post to the GunfightersINC Facebook page that served to validate some of these recent discussions.
Just received my Kenai Chest Holster for my 1911 Defender today!!!!
First impression out of the package,. WOW!!!
And then I put it on!!!
I am a retired Police Officer who is a wheelchair bound L-3 paraplegic who still teaches Firearms, Concealed Carry, etc. and I have carried everyday, for the last 30 plus years, not an easy task since I broke my back 20 years ago and I have been trying to find a quality holster that I could wear open or concealed, that was comfortable enough not to rub sores and I could get to in a hurry….. thanks to Gunfighters Inc. I have met that goal.
Put it on, adjusted the straps, threw my 1911 in and that was it…… covers with a light shirt or jacket, comfortable, non-binding, not in my way pushing my chair…..
For a wheelchair bound person. The only way to go…..
I will be telling everyone I know about this product…. Thank You!!!
The Kenai’s draw stroke requires less mobility than a shoulder holster, its placement can prevent the draw from being fouled by crutches, it carries the same regardless of clothing, and it is comfortable if confined to a seated position. I am not an expert on impairment and the Kenai Chest Holster is certainly not the only option for people facing such things. I don’t even know if it is the best option but it obviously an option… and I think that makes it important to share.
If you have had any experience with this or other carry methods for physical impairment, I would love to hear from you in the comments below.
