The CCX2 Podcast is a collaboration between USA Carry and Concealed Nation. I have written for USA Carry for several years now and I used to write for Concealed Nation, so I have a history with both. Last year I was invited on several episodes as a guest, but so far this year I have... Continue Reading →
I conceal carry entirely inside-the-waistband, at the appendix position, but I do use an outside-the-waistband holster on strong-side-hip for when I am in the woods, or when I shoot the occasional match (which has been infrequent lately). Therefore, although it is rarely used compared to my AIWB holster, my OWB holster is still a necessary... Continue Reading →
As a long-time user of small frame revolvers as my deep concealment option I have worked with many different loading devices over the years. Since the very essence of the small revolver is deep concealment, I find I always come back to just carrying a speed strip along for the ride when I do carry... 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 →
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 →
The carry of a backup gun among civilians is uncommon. For law enforcement, carrying a BUG is common, and if you don’t to carry a BUG as an LEO I think you are an idiot, quite frankly. Police officers are far more likely to need a backup gun than are civilians, one reason being that... Continue Reading →
