New Guide: Holsters!
You’ve bought a gun. Chances are you’re going to want to carry it at some point or another. Be it concealed carry, around your house, at a shooting competition or just walking around (if you’re one of those lucky people who live in an open carry state), you’re going to need a holster. No, you can’t just tuck it into your belt like in that movie you watched last week.
If you’ve shopped for holsters, you’ve probably noticed that there’s lots of different kinds. Side note: I’ll be writing an article soon on situational awareness for those you that didn’t notice there was more than one kind.
Anyway, Gun Noob is here to help you navigate the jungle of holster styles so you can pick the one that’s right for you.

Coming Soon: Noob Reviews!
There used to be an entry in the FAQ section of the site that said something along the lines of:
Q: Why don’t you have any gun reviews?
A: Because I’m still relatively new to firearms and I don’t think I have had enough experience
with them to be able to give a decent opinion on what constitutes a good gun.
That particular statement was removed recently for 2 reasons:
1) Between renting them, borrowing from friends and adding to my own collection, I have gone out of my way in recent months to try as many different guns as humanly possible. As such, I now feel that I have at least a decent understanding of what is meant by things like “terrible trigger pull” and “eats whatever you put into it”.
2) A good friend suggested that I should review guns not from the “expert” perspective that most reviewers go but from the perspective of “Is this a good starter gun?”
That last statement is the key. Gun Noob is and will always be a resource for the absolute beginner to intermediate gun user. I am formulating a list of tests and criteria for reviewing guns from this perspective. Things like “how easy is it to break down” and “how forgiving is it for poor technique (limp-wrist friendly)” and more.
Keep your eye out in the next few days for the first of many reviews concerning beginner friendly firearms.
