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...

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 →
There has been a resurgence in revolver popularity. The revolver revival might be driven to some extent by the many millions of new gun owners post-2020, but I would think there is more to it than that. It is, likely, just a new wave of interest in the gun community. The love of lever action... Continue Reading →
For many American families the summer involves a vacation trip to the beach. The beach involves dress and routine that poses challenges to staying armed. Still, do not think that bad things cease to exist just because you are on vacation. If vacationing in a free state where you can go armed, legally, you should... 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 →
I have used a speed strip to provide a reload for my snub revolver most of the time I have spent carrying it. The speed strip is easy to conceal, like the snub itself, thus making it the feasible carry companion. Still, I have worked with all manner of speedloaders over the years, and have...
