About a year and a half ago I decided to get a small frame all-steel revolver, so I acquired a Ruger SP101 which has been featured extensively on this blog ever since. I spend a lot of time carrying the SP101 over the course of about a year and I shot it quite a bit. ... Continue Reading →
Small revolvers, in particular the light weight variants, prove versatile secondary weapons. My bug (backup gun) has been a Ruger LCR for some years now. The truth is, I usually do not carry a bug on a daily basis, but I sometimes carry a bug if traveling. The bug also serves other purposes for myself:... Continue Reading →
This past year has been one of significantly more work with a revolver than I usually do. This was fostered by my acquisition of a Ruger SP101 in early 2017 which quickly usurped my Ruger LCR as my primary deep concealment gun. The LCR and other such light weight small revolvers are ideal for pocket,... Continue Reading →
As I continue to work with the Ruger SP101 I further refine many revolver-specific tasks to a level that I never have before as I now work with a wheel gun to a greater level than ever in the past despite the fact that I have long relied on a revolver for my deep concealment... 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 →

These holsters rely on an outer material that clings to clothing and with adequate waistband retention they stay in place without relying on an apparatus to actually clip onto the belt as does a traditional holster. I use traditional IWB holsters... Continue Reading →
I have a couple of sticky holsters that I use for small frame revolvers and I absolutely love them. They are better than the Remora, in my opinion, since they are clingier and do stick to fabric more. In fact, it is the only holster I use for my revolvers, aside from a belly band...

Every time I write about my escapades with the revolver I start with the same disclaimer: I am a firm believer in carrying a substantial gun and I carry a double-stack auto at all times possible. The issue is, however, I can’t do that all of the time and when I need deep concealment the... Continue Reading →
What you are looking at here is a Ruger LCR in a well-worn Sticky holster. The small frame revolver is my alternative when I can’t carry my preferred weapon, a double-stack auto loader, for whatever reason. If required to dress in a way that I can’t hide the auto or if in environments where I... Continue Reading →
