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 →
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
The amount of revolvers sold each year pales in comparison to the amount of auto loaders sold, and this has been the case for decades. However, the revolver still remains a mainstay in concealed carry, especially the small-frame light weight variants as they prove ideal for certain roles. The reality is, the love for the...

There is no shortage of novels in the post-apocalyptic survivalist genre, many of which are quite good. but one of the best written was actually penned in 1910 by a German writer named Hermann Lons. Interestingly, The Warwolf takes places during the Thirty Years War in Germany. How is that post-apocalyptic you may ask? The... Continue Reading →
There are real-world scenarios in which a concealed carrier might have to present the gun, or ready it in hand, in a stealthy. This is done with what is called the surreptitious draw.

I have previously written articles, on this blog and elsewhere, telling concealed carriers that they should be practicing “all four” draw strokes. You can read that article on this blog here. The four primary draw strokes are: The Default DrawThe Single-Handed DrawThe Support-Hand Only DrawThe Surreptitious Draw In this series of articles I wish to... Continue Reading →
I have used Remora Holsters for a long time. I use no-clip holsters of this sort exclusively for small revolvers due to their versatility, being able to go from a pocket to the waistband. This versatility makes these sorts of holsters an ideal pairing with a deep concealment gun for use during beach vacations or... Continue Reading →
Much ado is made about draw-to-first-shot speed in the shooting world. This is, indeed, an important skill, but I don’t practice draw-to-first-shot drills at all. I do practice draw to two shots, or draw to three shots, or five shots, etc…, but I don’t practice draw to a single shot. Rather, I practice draw-to-shooting. Why?... Continue Reading →
