Break Contact Guns

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...

AIWB Snub Carry

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...

Review of the Vertx Clutch Runner’s Belt

My hunt for concealment solutions never ends.  I find deep concealment solutions particularly difficult to formulate, as most people probably do.  For the past several years my deep concealment solution has revolved around a Ruger LCR revolver in some kind of belly band.  Typical bands can be problematic, and the newer generation of belly bands...
