Being able to deploy your handgun with only your dominant hand is a very important skill. If you use a default draw stroke that utilizes the support hand to clear the cover garment, as is typically the case for appendix position carriers, you need to also work on a draw stroke that relies on only...

I have previously written articles, on this blog and elsewhere, telling concealed carriers that they should be practicing “all four” draw strokes. You can read that article on this blog here. The four primary draw strokes are: The Default DrawThe Single-Handed DrawThe Support-Hand Only DrawThe Surreptitious Draw In this series of articles I wish to... Continue Reading →
I have used Remora Holsters for a long time. I use no-clip holsters of this sort exclusively for small revolvers due to their versatility, being able to go from a pocket to the waistband. This versatility makes these sorts of holsters an ideal pairing with a deep concealment gun for use during beach vacations or... Continue Reading →
Much ado is made about draw-to-first-shot speed in the shooting world. This is, indeed, an important skill, but I don’t practice draw-to-first-shot drills at all. I do practice draw to two shots, or draw to three shots, or five shots, etc…, but I don’t practice draw to a single shot. Rather, I practice draw-to-shooting. Why?... Continue Reading →

I actually read it years ago, but decided to review it now as it remains a definitive work. Of all the “prepper” fiction... Continue Reading →

The focus of this blog is the use of the handgun as a personal-protection tool against unexpected criminal assault. With that said, I believe all citizens should be well-armed with the ability to be a combatant, thus the true intention of the Second Amendment. However, I think too many people in the firearms culture have... Continue Reading →
There is no denying that a pistol is a short range weapon of immediate self-defense compared to rifles. For most people, hitting anything beyond conversation distance with even a full-size pistol is a parlor trick. However, a shooter can stretch well beyond this typical distance with a pistol if they train for it properly. 25... Continue Reading →
For many years now my deep concealment gun has been a Ruger LCR revolver. Over this time, however, my modes of carrying this gun for deep concealment needs have changed extensively. I pocket carried the gun for a while, but the LCR is on the large side for me for pocket carry and the individual... Continue Reading →
A month or so back I reviewed a Craft Holsters Open Top Leather Holster. That particular holster is excellent and Craft Holsters seems to specialize in leather products. In that review I actually stated that even though I have not used leather holsters in a long time, I really liked the Craft holster. In response... Continue Reading →
