You can’t fix stupid.

Posted by Rob Longenecker on 6th September 2009

Someone needs to invent something a person can wear  that will shield the eyes from the sun…

Stupid

It’s kinda like wearing a good holster with a crappy belt.

Tucker’s got a “Secret.”

Posted by Rob Longenecker on 21st June 2009

Before Tucker designed the Texas Heritage he created an IWB design that’s been locked in the gun vault now for years.

It’s “The Secret.”

We’ve heard from customers who don’t tuck in their shirt over their carry gun and don’t need the special features of the Texas Heritage.

Just for them, and maybe for YOU, we’ve brought “The Secret” out of the dark place into the light of day.

the-secret-001-med

The Secret is more compact than the Texas Heritage and has leather belt loops instead of belt clips, but it shares the good parts of the Texas Heritage.

It’s made from Hermann Oak premium leather, it’s comfortable and extremely concealable. It’s also value-priced.

It comes only in natural un-dyed leather, but you can order the belt loops in natural, brown or black to suit the belt you’re wearing. The sweatshield is standard.

Until July 1st, 2009, there’s a special sale price to introduce “The Secret” and a short 2-week turnaround from the time you place your order here.

Don’t wait until the price goes up July 1st.

Better than a light on your gun?

Posted by Rob Longenecker on 11th April 2009

I get many requests for us to build holsters for guns with lights attached. We make special versions of our Silent Thunder leather-lined holsters for some gun/light combinations, but usually for LEO’s or military use.

There are so many combinations of guns/lights/lasers that we don’t plan to keep up with all of them. In addition, for the average civilian, based on our own training and experience, we see a holstered firearm as a rapid-response, reactive tool. Lights and lasers might slow you down if you have no warning of an armed confrontation.

My training as a Naval Aviator, flight instructor, carrier pilot tells me to keep things simple.

I disagree with carrying a holstered gun with a light attached “just in case” because it complicates rapid response by adding in another decision to be made.

I know, you’re a grown-up and you’re going to do whatever you choose to do, and you have good reasons why you carry what you carry. So, we’ll disagree sometimes.

Here’s a tactical flashlight that has caught my attention. This may be a better choice than mounting a light on the accessory rails of your prized pistol for home defense.

One advantage is that you can illuminate the scene without pointing a loaded firearm at someone who may not be a threat.

Do you like high performance jet aircraft?

Posted by Rob Longenecker on 25th March 2009

Well, I sure do. Many have seen the new F-22 Raptor in action, but not much on the new F35 Joint Strike fighter.

This video was produced by Lockheed-Martin and shows a lot of pride in their products – just like Tucker.

5th Generation Fighters Enjoy!

Many years ago, I flew an A-7 Corsair II while in VA-72, aboard the John F. Kennedy.

Yes, I’d take a few more day traps.

So, you think Obama’s a smooth talker?

Posted by Rob Longenecker on 8th February 2009

He’s only smooth when his Tele-Promter is working just right. When he’s making it up on the fly, he’s worse than Porky Pig.

This video is a message to Obama from his Tele-Promter with some tips and some demands.

Yes, it’s funny. It’s also sad that we elected such an empty suit because he could use a Tele-Prompter.

A little fun today….

Posted by Rob Longenecker on 2nd January 2009

Ok, so it’s the new year and this is an old video, but you probably havent’ seen it.

Look at the lengths the “star” of the video goes through to get what he wants. We may all have to be that innovative and persistent in 2009.

Catch Santa in your living room

Posted by Rob Longenecker on 7th December 2008

What a clever idea! Here’s a website that allows you to upload a picture of your living room, decorated for Christmas, and include a Santa of your choice in the picture to show your kids or grandkids that Santa REALLY WAS IN YOUR LIVING ROOM!  Have Fun!

(It’s inexpensive and I have no monetary interest in this Santa website).

Criminals for Gun Control

Criminals for Gun Control video.

Posted in Fun | No Comments »

Just do what they tell you.

Posted by Rob Longenecker on 26th October 2008

I get lots of emails and phone calls at Tucker Gunleather from fellow shooters and gun owners. I enjoy it. You’re great people.

Often, before calling us, you’ve been to so many websites and gun forums, talked to so many friends about what you should buy, that you feel like the woman in the video below.

She’s just trying to convert her TV from analog to digital and doing her best to follow the advice she’s getting. Wouldn’t talking to a live person, who wants to help, be more useful?

Watch the Video - have a laughcall me if I you have holster questions and want the straight scoop. 800-308-6628.
