The use of wings, or what is often called a claw, on holsters designed for appendix position carry, have been an absolute game changer in concealment as these devices draw the grip into the body, thus greatly aiding concealment. Another tool that has long been used to enhance AIWB concealment is wedging, which typically involves... Continue Reading →
Wearing tools of personal protection is not very difficult to do when wearing casual clothing such as jeans and a T-shirt, or jeans and a sweater or jacket, etc…, but formal clothing, or gym shorts, make such carry much more challenging. While wearing jeans and an un-tucked shirt I carry a compact pistol and that... Continue Reading →
So, there is a new outfit on the trauma medical scene named Snakestaff Systems and they are producing a couple of tourniquets that are claimed to be specifically designed for on-body carry.

Both empires will fall, ultimately, because society is plagued by weaklings that value handouts from the government over individual responsibility and accomplishment. There is nothing so dangerous as weak men. ... Continue Reading →
I am a flashlight fanatic: perhaps not in collecting lights (though I have quite a few) but as a devotee to their usefulness in a defensive use and overall preparedness. For myself, the three most important tools a prepared individual can carry is a pistol, a blade (primarily as an emergency cutting tool) and certainly... Continue Reading →
