Galco’s Combat Master for Kimber K6S

Galco's Combat Master for Kimber K6S

From Galco

Galco introduces the Combat Master™ belt holster for the popular Kimber K6S 2” revolver!

The Combat Master is a professional-grade belt holster constructed of the top 2% of premium steerhide available in America, hand-molded by our experienced craftsmen to fit specific handguns. This gives it excellent retention properties along with a beautiful appearance.

But beauty is only skin-deep, especially in a holster designed for concealment. The Combat Master’s traditional high-riding pancake-style design places the belt slots on either side of the holster, pulling the handgun tight to the body and making defensive handguns disappear under even light clothing. It also features an open top with firing grip accessibility for speed – since time is always in short supply in defensive situations.

The Combat Master’s covered trigger ensures safe carry. Meanwhile, its double-stitched seams enhance durability, making the Combat Master one of the longest-lasting holsters money can buy.

Lastly, the Combat Master’s twin belt slots fit belts up to 1 ¾” wide, so it blends perfectly with current clothing styles. And blending in is the name of the game when we’re talking about concealed carry!

Available in black or tan, the Combat Master has an MSRP of $99.

Florida Proposal Would Require Background Check to Purchase Ammo

Florida Proposal Would Require Background Check to Purchase Ammo

By Guy J. Sagi

Florida State Rep. State Rep. Dan Daley, D-Coral Springs, has reintroduced a measure he sponsored in 2018—which failed to make it out of a legislative committee—that would require background checks to purchase ammunition in the state. The measure has yet to find a sponsor among the state’s senators.

“Our hope this year is to get a hearing,” he told the Sun-Sentinel. “Last year, it never saw the light of day.”

The announcement comes, ironically, at a time when ammunition continues to be in extremely short supply across the nation. Vista Outdoor CEO and Director Christopher Metz told participants on the company’s quarterly earnings call last month that, “We currently have over a year’s worth of orders for ammunition in excess of $1 billion. This is unprecedented for our company. With demand far outstripping supply and inventory levels in the channel at all-time lows, we see strong demand continuing…” Vista Outdoor is the parent company of Federal Premium, CCI and other cartridge and component manufacturing firms.

Complicating the situation is the fact that gun sales this year have shattered all previous records. The move would add another burden to understaffed federal or state offices that perform the background checks.

It is unclear whether there will be administrative fees should the measure pass. The time-consuming process will undoubtedly impact retailers, though, who may have no choice but to increase cartridge prices to cover additional time required to process the purchase.
