FMG's Online Editor Kakkuri Reviews "Tough As Nails" Holster & Gun Care Musts

FMG Publications online editor Mark Kakkuri turns toward tradition, reviewing a classically designed holster that's "tough as nails" while also recommending a couple of products he believes should become part of an almost-everyday-carry regime.

Kakkuri assesses the made-to-order High Noon Public Secret holster for an online-only GUNS Magazine exclusive, explaining why it's virtually never in the proverbial box of unused holsters. The feature can be found athttp://gunsmagazine.com/exclusive-a-traditional-out-of-the-box-holster/.

"While the Public Secret's very thick leather does a great job of holding and protecting the Defender - and protecting me from the Defender's rather sharp contours - it's still comfortable to wear," writes Kakkuri. "Despite all that protective leather, an integrated sight channel, a reinforced mouth and the most robust reverse J-clip on the planet, the Public Secret is surprisingly lightweight."

Online at American Handgunner Magazine, Kakkuri reviews two products that he advises should become two "almost-every-day-carry items."

"Ballistol is a great cleaner and lubricator for the metal mechanisms of most firearms," writes Kakkuri. "I've found that spraying down firearm components with Ballistol during a field strip is a great first step that aids in overall cleaning. Otis Ripcords get used just as much as Ballistol - not quite every day, but close. I keep three handy: one for .22/.223, one for .38/.357/9mm, and one for .45 cal."

Readers can discover how to use both of these products to keep their equipment in tip-top shape in this exclusive article, found athttp://americanhandgunner.com/exclusive-two-almost-every-day-carry-items/.
