A.
In addition to sporting a flat-seam, one-size-fits-most design, the Tru-Spec Microfleece Watch Cap boasts a polyester/fleece interior headband lining that has many of wool’s qualities at a fraction of the weight. The fabric is lightweight, warm and retains much of its insulating power, even when wet. All of which will keep your head warm once the mercury begins to fall. It is available in black only. MSRP: $7.95; truspec.com


B. Thanks to its wool fabrication and an elastic-lined bottom, the Beretta Stretch Tech Half Zip Fleece provides protection from the elements, and with it the optimized dissipation of body heat generated during activity. Other features include a central YKK half zip, a zippered front pocket and the Beretta logo on the back. MSRP: $99; beretta.com


C. The DeSantis Persuader Holster for the Glock G19 features thermoformed-polymer construction with an ultra-tough carbon-fiber finish. It mounts to the belt via either a multi-cant center clip or with one or two tuckable C-clips. An anti-rotation wedge keeps the holster in place, while an integral spur helps pull the butt of the handgun close to the body for greater concealment. MSRP: $99.99; desantisholster.com


D. Constructed from high-quality, full-grain buffalo leather, the Browning Gun Belt features a 1.5-inch width and a 6.5 mm thickness to help support holsters, preventing sagging. A zinc-alloy buckle with a removable roller, Chicago screws and robust stitching offer the added benefit of enhanced versatility. The Browning logo is embossed on the exterior. MSRP: $39.99; browning.com


E. CCW Breakaway Charcoal Gray Concealed Carry Work and Casual Pants are fashioned from a blend of cotton and rip-stop nylon. Hook-and-loop fasteners enable the wearer to customize depth and degree of cant, providing a practical means of successfully concealing a wide variety of full, compact and subcompact and micro-size revolvers and semi-automatics—without a cover garment. MSRP: $80; ccwbreakaways.com

You are a student of the handgun, diversified in many directions. You have shot Precision Pistol, Steel Challenge, IDPA, Bowling Pins and a few other informal disciplines.
