New for 2014, 2nd Edition! "Holsters actually pre-date guns. Do you really think bands of wooly mammoth hunters carried spears and rocks in their hands? After all, they couldn't invent important things like fire and Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts with their hands all full of weapons." Let's face it. Choosing the best way to carry a gun can be a daunting task. Whether you're new to guns or have been shooting since you were a wee tot, this book can help you understand concealed carry methods, how to carry a gun safely, and the relative pros and cons of over 120 specific holster models.

Why do you need a book to choose and buy a holster? A few reasons really. - At last count, there are 4,187,237 different holsters on the market. Well, that might be an estimate, but there are a lot.

Sure they might carry a couple of brands, but will they have a brand right for you and the model specific to your gun?
