Many experienced concealed carriers settle on a two-gun system: a primary carry gun that is more capable, ranging from micro 9mm autos up to full-size service pistols, as well as something smaller, favoring snub revolvers or the very tiny pocket pistols chambered in 380acp. I believe you need to have both options to stay armed... Continue Reading →
There is nothing new under the sun and the popularity of any firearms platform comes and goes in a cycle measured in decades. In the past several years there has been a resurgence in interest in the revolver. Perhaps many have newly discovered the benefits that the wheel gun offers, but I suspect this is...

I tend to settle on things when I determine that they work. For over a decade now, my deep concealment and backup gun has been the Ruger LCR. Because it works. Well over twenty years ago I began carrying a gun, daily. I obtained my carry permit as soon as I turned twenty-one. For the... Continue Reading →
I settled on the Ruger LCR platform a long time ago, choosing it over the Smith and Wesson J Frame options or the small 380 autos for my deep concealment and backup gun needs. Overall, I have always liked the gun for its purpose, but I was never quite satisfied with the stocks, or grip,... Continue Reading →
Most often I carry only one gun on-person. I carry either my primary Glock 26 or my deep concealment Ruger LCR. These have become the only two guns that I carry for the past decade, as they both prove ideal in dimensions and capability for myself and my needs. While I train a lot with... Continue Reading →

Firearms instructors get hung up on encouraging people to “carry as much gun as possible.” Arguably, a full-size pistol beats a micro gun if actually needed in a fight, but the primary reason behind this constant drone is the simple fact that most people shoot a full-size gun better than a small gun. Firearms instructors... Continue Reading →
When analyzing the role of the small, deep concealment gun I consider it a tool that is a last resort in forcing a “break in contact” with the criminal entity. I have heard Claude Werner use this term when he refers to the mission of the armed citizen, which is to “force a break in... Continue Reading →
Most people who use a snub revolver as a deep concealment option probably consider it primarily a pocket or ankle gun. Snubs do such alternate carry better than anything else, in my opinion. However, for quite a few years now I have accomplished most of my deep concealment by using a belly band (I now... Continue Reading →
I used pocket carry quite extensively for a long time, although I rarely pocket carry anymore, save for some circumstances around the home. Over time I found that I prefer to keep my gun in the same body location at all times possible, and I have used a variety of belly bands, and more recently... Continue Reading →
