Triangle Tactical Podcast and Blog on Guns, Gear, and Competition Shooting
I was doing some cleaning in the garage tonight, and I found most of these scattered around on my workbench, under my workbench, and one of them in a stash of .223 brass I didn’t know I had…
I’d always heard the saying “Most shooters end up with a box of holsters they don’t use anymore” and I guess that’s true, the sad part is that there are holsters in the pile for guns that I’ve never owned. Yeah, I made a bunch of them, and some aren’t in any sort of working condition anymore, but here they are, waiting for a rainy day I guess.
“Hey Luke, do you want [insert holster here] for [gun my friend no longer owns]?”
They answer is always yes. You always drink a free beer, and you never turn away free gun stuff.

I think that’s most of it.
Go show off your stash on the Facebook page! Let’s see your box of holsters!
You’d think there would be a thriving market in used holsters. I quick search on Craigslist says that there are people who sell their retired holsters. So, what do you prefer for your XDS?
I prefer the INCOG, but I also like the Crossbreed MiniTuck for certain situations. I don’t know if I’d want to buy a holster that’s been stuffed in someone’s pants and sweat on for countless hours, that’s just me.
That is a very large list of guns you’ll have to buy if you currently don’t own the guns that go into them…
Funny how that works isn’t it…
EHS: Empty Holster Syndrome
The condition in which a gun enthusiast purchases a holster in anticipation of a future handgun purchase.
I once had an extra handguard grow into an AR -15, so no reason a holster can’t grow into a pistol…
I need more holsters…
