It can be a little difficult to find holsters for Lone Wolf Distributor’s Timberwolf frames. They usually work well enough in standard Glock holsters but the fit is rarely perfect. GunfightersINC is now offering holsters molded specifically for the Timberwolf frames and the complete Timberwolf handguns that will be available soon.
GunfightersINC has a new holster in their lineup – the CAS/C5S. The holster, designed especially for compact, single-stack pistols, was designed for appendix or strong side inside-the-waistband carry. Interestingly, GunfightersINC tells me that that the spare magazine position may not be ideal but works surprisingly well for strong side carry and it is their hope that a holster like this will encourage more people to actually carry a spare magazine.
From GunfightersINC:
The current market trends show an overwhelming push towards lightweight, highly concealable single stack pistols. These pistols are easy to carry and with the right holster, are barely noticeable under a wide array of cover garments. The major trade-off with a single stack 9mm is capacity. Even with a +1 or +2 baseplate, you are still sitting at half the round count of a double stack pistol such as a Glock 19. While it is certainly an option to carry magazines in pockets or in a separate pouch, we wanted to offer a system that would allow you to have a spare magazine at the ready in a streamlined low-profile system.
The CAS/C5S IWB Holster is available in two configurations: The CAS positions the firearm vertical for easy concealment and your magazine at 30° angle for the fastest and most natural possible in the 12 O’clock position. The C5S is designed to sit on the strong side of the body, with a canted firearm (10-15°) and slightly canted magazine (10°) for fast draw and minimal printing in the 3-5 O’clock position. The rounds are set to face toward the firearm to enhance quick reloads. The holster is contoured to have a steep curve that pulls the firearm and magazine into the body to reduce printing and aid concealment.
We designed the CAS/C5S holster to be a simple, one-piece unit that you can easily take on and off with little trouble. The minimalist design prevents discomfort by limiting bulk and unnecessary material, yet still offers a full sweatshield to protect your firearm. No fighting overly complex clip systems or bulky brackets. No threaded fasteners to work loose. No magazines floating around in pockets or an extra holster that you have to deal with. Our experience has shown us that if your holster is uncomfortable or needlessly complex, you won’t wear it.
The CAS/C5S is available for a wide variety of compact and subcompact firearms from most major firearms including 1911s, Glock, FNH, H&K, Sig, Smith and Wesson, Springfield, Ruger and Walther.

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.
