What is the best holster for IWB concealed carry?

What is an I.W.B. Concealed Carry Holster? It's a holster which is designed to ride "Inside the WaistBand". There are many different types of IWB holsters available. This is review of the Softarmor IWB holster. It consists of a single pouch and metal clip with clips to the outside of the belt. The type of holster is sometimes called a clip-on. The clip can be removed and placed on the other side of the holster to offer flexibility for right or left handed shooters.
*The clip can also be removed completely and the holster can ride in the pocket of cargo shorts or pants.

The holster pouch is made from a padded, layered, nylon canvas material. It is very sturdy yet very comfortable.

In these photos I'm carrying the Glock 36 Subcompact .45 in the holster. The size 16
holster is the perfect size for the Glock 36.

In the photo above the Glock 36 is shown riding in a Softarmor IWB holster with an extended grip magazine. While the extended grip provides more to hold on to, it also increase the form factor size of the gun. It is a trade off which should be considered and determined by the outer layer garment. If printing is a problem then reduce the form factor by carrying the G36 with the standard magazine shown below.

● Tulammo Brass Max is on the shelves!

At the time of this writing, Tulammo has not said anything official about this new product brand. So far all anyone knows is what can be read on the box. Brass Max is Tulammo's new line of brass case ammo. It is manufactured in Italy. It is known to be produced in all popular pistol calibers including-- .45 ACP .40S&W, 9mm Luger and .380.

I picked up box yesterday. The brass cartridges and bullets seem to be polished and bright similar to Federal ammo in the same price range. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to test the new Brass Max at the range sometime soon and share my full review.

"At the present time the Tula Cartridge Works is the leading Russian ammunition factory and the largest supplier of ammunition at home and abroad. Over the past several years the factory launched production of a wide variety of commercial products for training, self-defense and hunting. Such ammunition is marketed in Russia and worldwide under the trademark TULAMMO.
Exported to North, Central and South America, Australia, to EU countries, to the Middle East and across the CIS. The factory exports over 50 per cent of its overall production."

More on the new Glock 30S

During SHOT Show 2013, Glock unveiled their newest addition to their .45 ACP line – the Glock 30S. Built off the 30SF frame, the Glock 30S features the double stack capacity of the previous .45 models – 10 rounds in a standard size magazine (although, mags from the full size Glock 21 will also fit the Glock 30S). But, the slide of the 30S has been slimmed, which makes it more convenient for concealed carry, and also shaves off some of the weight.

The 30S design was developed in conjunction with the LAPD’s Special Investigation Section (SIS) to produce a .45 that would serve well for concealed carry without sacrificing caliber. To this aim, Glock has retained their standard accessory rail (for lights, lasers, etc.). And, although it is a subcompact pistol with a short grip, the Glock 30S ships with pinky extender mags. That feature provides the increased grip control that a full-size grip aids. The grip itself also features front and backstrap checkering to increase grip functionality.
The Glock 30S has already been sent to distributors. Fans of the polymer .45 should be able to get their hands on one for around $599.

Tracy Morgan commenting on airport security and racial profiling.
I am paraphrasing what Mr. Morgan said to the press following the 911 hijackings and attacks.

       "Listen up airport security people. If I'm in line and you have 3 guys in front of me speaking arabic or farsi and they have brief cases and they are nervous and smell like sweat, PLEASE take your sweet time screening them. Don't worry about inconveniencing me or any the other passengers. Check their sh*t out!" --Tracy Morgan.
