THE RIGHT GEAR
Carrying a concealed weapon is a serious business. Invest in the proper gear to keep yourself safe and out of trouble. For some great information, read our two articles Every Day Carry (EDC) recommendations and CCW Holster Selection.
Your EDC set up goes beyond the pistol; it involves the seamless integration of the pistol with the holster, belt, the holster/belt attachment system, and magazine holder. The Paladin Shop sells these items online, with options for home delivery or free in-class pickup (click "Free pick-up" when checking out).
Holsters
Paladin recommends LAG Tactical holsters for concealed carry. These holsters are crafted with high-quality materials for extended durability. We advise purchasing both the Liberator for inside-the-waistband (IWB) and the Defender for outside-the-waistband (OWB) for each pistol you intend to carry.
Look into upgrading the Liberator's attachment clip to the NeoMag Alias system (details provided below). The system provides a robust attachment point between holster and belt.
Belts
The rigidity of KORE Essentials belts helps prevent holster sagging during wear. With a 1.5" width, these belts ensure a secure fit with your holster loops or other attachment systems. They accommodate waists up to 54" and can be easily trimmed to your size. Both nylon and leather options are available. We recommend enhancing your holster attachment with the NeoMag Alias system, which integrates seamlessly with the KORE Essentials belt.
NeoMag Magazine Pocket Clip
We recommend carrying a spare magazine. NeoMag pocket clips are a great option to keep that magazine in place for quick retrieval. Integrated magnets attach to the mags with the appropriate tension. We have two options for 9mm and .40 caliber magazines: 1) the traditional clip with one magnet for metal magazines, and 2) the NeoMag G with two magnets for Glock magazines. We offer the extended clip versions of the NeoMag and NeoMag-G. This allows the magazine to ride deeper inside the pocket for improved concealment.
The models we carry do not fit .380, .45, or 10mm mags.
Trauma Care
Paladin offers professional trauma care products from North American Rescue. Our preferred Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK) is known as the "ROO" because it has a kangaroo-like pouch on the front to separate the tourniquet from the rest of the contents. Besides the tourniquet, the kit contains a pressure dressing, wound-packing gauze, gloves, and two vented chest seals.
