Three Critical Qualities of a Decent Holster | Active Self Protection Extra

In today’s ASP Extra lesson, we look at the three critical qualities of a decent holster. I dig into my personal box of shame to show you several of the crappy holsters I have used over the years and why they fail. If it doesn’t have all three, it is NOT a decent holster and you should not use it!
