Buying the gun is the easy part.
Carrying it safely is where many people fall short.
In this episode:
What a holster is actually supposed to do
The biggest mistakes people make when choosing one
Why “comfortable” can sometimes mean unsafe
What to look for so your gear actually works when it matters
How Brent went from building his own gear to building Haven Defense Co.
Most people spend all their time choosing a gun… and almost none thinking about how they’re actually going to carry it.
In this episode, Lora sits down with Brent Hickmon, founder of Haven Defense Company, to break down what really matters when it comes to holsters: what makes them safe, what makes them dangerous, and why so many people are getting it wrong without even realizing it.
Brent shares how he got started building holsters out of necessity, what he’s learned from years of hands-on experience, and the patterns he sees over and over again—from poor retention to unsafe carry setups. They also dig into common mistakes new gun owners make, why comfort and concealment don’t have to compete, and what to look for if you actually want gear you can trust.
If you carry, or plan to, this is information you need.
