My hunt for concealment solutions never ends. I find deep concealment solutions particularly difficult to formulate, as most people probably do. For the past several years my deep concealment solution has revolved around a Ruger LCR revolver in some kind of belly band. Typical bands can be problematic, and the newer generation of belly bands... Continue Reading →
I get it, the Sig P365 changed everything. Before it the king of small autos was the Smith and Wesson Shield. At that time the Shield brought to bear a single-stack profile, actually shot well for such a small gun, and it was reliable. It was, undoubtedly, my favorite of the “single-stack” 9mm micro pistols. ... Continue Reading →
I have always loved the lever action rifle. As a kid the Daisy Red Rider BB gun graduated into the 22 Rimfire Winchester lever gun, so the design was well engrained in my being early on. Most of my adult life, however, was spend with guns other than lever action rifles, but recent years 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 →
This past week I was on the CCX2 podcast for a good discussion on negligent discharges and what truly constitutes negligence on the part of gun carriers. You can see it here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YL7AxCxYlaQ
I am hardly a watch aficionado, and I think spending thousands on a Rolex is laughable (if you have the money and that is your thing, why not) but wearing a robust and useful watch is a must. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I am rather judgmental about dudes... Continue Reading →
I have not used a leather holster in a long, long time. When I started carrying two decades ago I used leather exclusively. While kydex was certainly around, it was not the standard that it is now. Once I switched to kydex I never looked back. Kydex, if made well, is rugged, requires little break-in... Continue Reading →
I am generally not a fan of minimalist holsters. A well-designed full-size holster will add minimal bulk inside the waistband yet provide all of the benefits of a complete holster, like shielding the gun completely from your skin and facilitate the best possible draw and re-holster. Still, I started looking around for a fully-functional holster... Continue Reading →
I have been a frequent belly band user for quite a few years now as it is my go-to method for deeply concealing a small handgun when environment or company dictate. I tried pocket carry for a while but it did not allow me to adequately conceal a snubby, which is as small a handgun... Continue Reading →
If you carry a gun you need to use a dedicated gun belt. A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to make due with a regular belt, only to finally buy a real gun belt, then realize how poor their life choices have been. A purpose-built gun belt is made to be... Continue Reading →
