Holsters tend to be fairly committed pieces of gear. Buy one for IWB carry, and that’s generally where it stays. Want to move the same handgun outside the waistband? You’re probably reaching for another holster. GRITR is taking a different approach with its expanded OMNI Holster line. The modular Kydex system allows the same holster to move between inside-the-waistband, outside-the-waistband and appendix carry.

Pistol optics have officially gone from “nice upgrade” to “why isn’t this already on the gun?” Springfield Armory is leaning into that reality with its new lineup of handguns equipped with the Aimpoint COA closed-emitter red dot. This isn’t simply a pistol with an optic slapped on top and sent down the road.

If you’ve been waiting for an excuse to add another serious bolt gun to the safe, Springfield Armory just made the argument considerably harder to ignore. Through the end of 2026, Springfield Armory’s Model 2020 Gear Up promotion gives buyers of qualifying new Model 2020 rifles a free XD-M Elite 4.5-inch OSP 10mm pistol, with an MSRP of $674. That’s not a free hat, range bag or another promotional trinket destined for the bottom of a closet. It’s a legitimate 10mm handgun.
