In today’s episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Dave Higginbotham from Safariland as we talk about their latest release, the Gravity holster. In this episode, Dave tells us what makes this OWB holster a game-changer for those who carry every day or are looking for a new sleek competition rig for IDPA or USPSA. The Gravity combines the popular Cordura fabric wraps that Safariland is known for with its adjustable detent retention and optics-ready design for a jack of all trades holster that can swing both EDC duty and regular range use. Dave shares behind-the-scenes stories about the holster’s development, Safariland’s commitment to quality, and why this holster is perfect for both range rats and daily carriers. Please give a warm welcome to returning guest, Dave Higginbotham from the Safariland Group.
