5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you ever wanted to know about holsters., February 22, 1999

This review is from: Hidden in Plain Sight: A Practical Guide to Concealed Handgun Carry, 2nd Revised Edition (Paperback)

This book is a great source of information for the person who is contemplating carrying a concealed firearm. Almost every conceivable method is covered. A vast selection of holsters from an amazing number of manufacturers are pictured and dicussed. The author discusses the pros and the cons of the various products and methods of carry. The unique needs of women are not left out of this book. There is a section that discusses purses designed for carrying a firearm as well as on the body holsters made specifically for the female anatomy. Finally there is the most complete listing of holster manufacturers with their addresses and phone numbers that I have ever seen in one place. I recommend this book to all my students.

3.0 out of 5 stars HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT , just not worth the money., May 5, 2001

David E. Root (Scottville, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hidden in Plain Sight: A Practical Guide to Concealed Handgun Carry, 2nd Revised Edition (Paperback)

Although this book is well written, it provides almost no new usable info that I could not have gotten from a good holster dealer. About the only worth while thing was the two pages covering speed of draw for the different holsters and the list of holster makers at the end of the book. I was very surprised to find this book to be of so little use after having read the shining reviews published on it. Sorry peaple, it just is not worth the money unless you are totally unaware of what is avaible in the way of concealed carry holsters.

This is an excellent collection of Conceal Carry options. It is an unbiased, straightforward evaluation of your options with a super listing of vendors in the back. Truly a valuable tool if you plan to carry.
