Most concealed carriers need two carry handguns: a primary carry option, and a deep concealment option. If you are an avid outdoorsman who spends time in bear country, you might need three: a primary, a deep concealment, and a woods gun in the form of a magnum revolver or auto loader. Most, however, are well... Continue Reading →
The guns we choose to carry have a great deal to do with personal opinion and preference, similar to the cars we drive. However, also similar to the cars we drive, there is the element of practicality. A guy who spends 99% of his time just driving to and from work in an urban commute... 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 →
The handgun remains the primary defensive firearm for the civilian invested in personal protection. A dedicated defensive long gun, or several, belong in the arsenal, but the handgun is the tool that provides the most immediate access and fastest deployment in the face of an emergency.

Complacency is the great enemy of mankind. For rather fragile physical creatures we tend to get comfortable in our environment.

If I could only have one handgun it would be a Glock 19. There is a huge number of handgunners out there who feel exactly the same way. The G19 is an industry standard and those of us that favor it typically do for one simple reason: it is the perfect size. It does everything... Continue Reading →
There is a saying that gets thrown around a lot within the gun community that goes something like “beware the man with only one gun because he probably knows how to use it.” Well, I have always found that somewhat amusing because there are no serious shooters that have only one gun. Guns are tools,... Continue Reading →
For all of 2017 my primary handgun was a Glock 26 Gen 3 and the majority of my training was done with this gun. I actually train with the gun I carry (imagine that) so I got quite intimate with the 26. Overall, I love the 26 as it is easy to carry but also... Continue Reading →
