This Tuesday we had Annette Evans on the CCX2 Show. Even though Annette is a serious shooter, she focuses heavily on the many other aspects of personal security that are important, particularly for women. If you are a lady who is interested in personal protection, or if you are a man who wants some great... Continue Reading →
I have always loved the 1911. I carried and shot 1911s almost exclusively for the first decade of my concealed carry life. In fact, I was “that guy” who considered the 1911 God’s gun and everything else was second-rate (especially the Tactical Tupperware). In my teen years I was first introduced to Glock and the...

So, at this point, every guy and his brother has weighed in to tell you that the Phlster Enigma is a game changer, and it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well, not prone to jump on bandwagons, I only recently acquired an Enigma, which I paid for as I do not have a... Continue Reading →
The CCX2 Show typically focuses on concealed carry and personal protection, but in light of the scary times in which we live, we devoted an entire show to prepping. I think we managed to lay out a good preliminary outline for overall preparation. For those of you interested in having a sound stay home plan,... Continue Reading →
So, with the advent of the Ruger LCP Max, a tiny pocket pistol that holds 10 rounds of 380 ACP in the flush-fit magazine, the snub revolver must certainly be dead now, right?

I have always, though, had a WML on my dedicated house gun and that has been the case since handgun sized WMLs first became viable. The... Continue Reading →
Any amount of force-on-force and managing unknown contacts training quickly illuminates the usefulness of OC Spray. Consider it a eye jab in a can. Being able to poke an aggressor in the eyes before he is at contact distance is a good thing. Yet, OC Spray gets ignored, or even belittled, by all but the... Continue Reading →
In the second decade of the 21st Century we need to be actively practicing the skill of avoidance. No longer is it good enough to simply parrot the advice to “avoid the fight.” Rather, the citizen self-defender needs to practice what I will refer to as “proactive avoidance.” Unfortunately, we live in a time of...

Why can't we get gun owners, and more specifically, concealed carriers, to train? why can't we get them to seek out education? Why is our community of serious practitioners so small, despite the fact that roughly half of Americans own guns? This is why: This stupid-ass, worthless, video has 15 millions views as of this...

I have carried a “tactical light” my entire adult life. When I was in my early twenties LED technology had just become a thing. I remember having a 40 lumen light and being amazed how bright it was. It was a tiny thing that blew away the big D-Cell mag lights. Wow, times have changed. ... Continue Reading →
