Tactical clothing and gun holsters
I recently took a swing by several big gun shops and picked up a few products from tactical clothing companies that I was unfamiliar with. I do think that many of the top tactical clothing companies are much better than the stuff that was being made years ago. Clothing manufacturing has gotten better in many regards. I have several BDU pants from Army Navy stores, but I just can’t stand wearing them anymore. The hand pockets are too small and the BDU pockets are too flimsy. If I want BDU pants, The Eotac Style 201 Pants are the way to go. If I want to wear denim jeans, I’m going to go with one of the tactical jeans from 5.11, Woolrich Elite or Eotac.
One thing I didn’t like about the 5.11 jeans was that the hand pockets were not any larger than my regular jeans which completely eliminates the possibility of pocket carry. I had a j-frame 38 Special in the pocket and the handle was showing. I find this to be a real short coming even though the internal pockets that can stow guns or magazines. I find these pants to be concealed carry friendly to some degree, but they really were missing some features. I don’t like the fact that there isn’t spot in the right side at about 3 o’clock that would be gun holsters for most right handed individuals. Even though I think some of the 205 jeans are a little over designed with the rear pockets, I think pocket carry is really important for CCW wearers and the 5.11 jeans isn’t for that. The 5.11 jeans can hold your wallet or money, but that’s about it.
