HOUSTON, March 10, 2020 – The International Defensive Pistol Association recently released the results of its 2019 IDPA Equipment Survey, with Comp-Tac Victory Gear® taking the top spot in several categories, including top competition holster manufacturer.
For the last eight years running, Comp-Tac® has proven the most popular competition holster brand among IDPA championship shooters. This year, the company also garnered the top spot for everyday carry holster brand, EDC magazine pouches, the second spot for magazine pouch company, the fourth spot for belt manufacturer and the second spot for concealment garment manufacturer through Armadillo Concealment, a division of Comp-Tac.
The IDPA membership, which numbers more than 22,000, has put Comp-Tac in the top spot 12 times in the annual survey since 2004. Comp-Tac was also the most popular EDC holster six times, which accounts for every time the EDC category was surveyed. The brand has never been surveyed lower than the second spot for competition holster since 2004.
“We’re always immensely grateful for our persistent popularity within the shooting community,” said Randi Rogers, Comp-Tac director of brand management. “Many of us at Comp-Tac are shooters making gear for shooters. Our roots lay in the competitive and concealed carry communities, and we’re proud to be recognized and receive their continued support,” added Rogers, who is a seven-time IDPA national champion, eight-time IDPA indoor national champion and two-time IDPA back-up gun national champion.
Comp-Tac started in 2001 to address the lackluster offerings of concealable holsters on the market. Their holsters soon gained popularity in the concealed carry and competition holster markets, while also becoming a trusted source for off-duty LE and undercover military members overseas. Comp-Tac joined the High Speed Gear® family in mid 2018 to compliment the brand’s already diverse offerings.

PORTLAND, OREGON (March 09, 2020) – GERBER, an industry-leading manufacturer of knives and multi-tools, today launched a new customization program featuring several of the brand’s best-selling knives. Made in Portland, Ore., the Fastball, StrongArm, Sharkbelly and US-1 will be among the first knives customers can design using a robust library of lasermarks, handle materials, patterns and blade shapes.
“At Gerber, we know better than anyone that pocket knives are personal. We carry them everyday, and both craftsmanship and utility are paramount. Gerber Custom empowers users to take part in the creation process, pairing the precise engineering and reliable quality of our bestselling knives with a unique aesthetic,” said Todd Bischoff, creative director at Gerber.
Knife makers curate their experience by choosing between customization and personalization. Customization offers an infinite combination of handle materials, colors, patterns and blade shapes with hundreds of illustrations, like landscapes, military insignias, flora and fauna, and more. Personalization offers visitors lasermarked illustration and personal text in a variety of fonts.
While the options for customization are endless, the price reflects Gerber’s commitment to providing premium, highly functional tools at an honest value. All of Gerber’s customized and personalized knives are made, assembled, and lasermarked at their headquarters in Portland.
“A person’s daily carry knife is nearly part of their identity – it says something about them,” said Karrson Koivisto, product manager for knives and cutting tools at Gerber. “A knife’s design and functionality are foundational, but layering on the capacity to select how every single component looks takes great products to the next level. That’s what Gerber Custom is about—helping consumers step up their daily carry in a way that authentically suits them.”
Gerber Custom, newly opened in March, can be found at www.gerbergear.com/custom. To date, the Fastball is available for customization and the StrongArm, Sharkbelly, and US-1 are available to personalize, with more products scheduled for later this year.
