    Are Single-Stack Pistols Extinct?

    If you like DA/SA, and you like a small gun, I'll bet you would really like the Beretta PX4 Storm Subcompact. Feels like a full size gun in your hand, even though it has the same dimensions as the Ruger EC9S without the pinky extension, except that the handle is thicker. 9mm version holds 14...

    What brand/type of shirt do you prefer when carrying in an OWB holster?

    I bought several of the "George" brand shirts real cheap at Walmart. All of them are intended to be worn without tucking in the shirt tail. Perfect for concealment, and they look good. I don't carry OWB, but these shirts should be perfect for OWB concealment - they fit loosely; they are not...

    Are Single-Stack Pistols Extinct?

    I have this belt: https://www.koreessentials.com/collections/leather-gun-belts/products/x3-buckle-black-reinforced-belt-set It's a really nice belt, because you can micro-adjust the size. It looks good, and it's heavy, solid leather. Tonight I wore this belt, and I pocket-carried my Beretta...

    Are Single-Stack Pistols Extinct?

    Lock n' Load, thanks for the tips. I bought a good sturdy belt early on in my concealed carry journey. Come to think of it, I don't always wear that belt - it's a nice looking belt, so I wear it with nice looking pants. Maybe if I wore it all the time I wouldn't have the weight problem with...

    Are Single-Stack Pistols Extinct?

    I have the same situation with my two carry guns: the Beretta PX4 Storm Subcompact and the Ruger EC9S. The two guns are the exact same size, except for thickness -- the Beretta is heavier and thicker than the Ruger. The Beretta holds 14 rounds, while the Ruger holds 8. But I am leaning more...

    Lethal Force Vs Pepper Spray

    I appreciate the comments of those who have replied to my comment about tear gas and fighting against such groups as ANTIFA. The more I think about it, the more I realize that any weapon used against you can be deadly, and so it would be appropriate to respond with a firearm. When I made the...

    Lethal Force Vs Pepper Spray

    The reason I mentioned ANTIFA is because they specialize in "low grade" fighting, that is, with low-grade weapons, such as bats and chains. If you respond to a bat with a gun, you are just liable to find yourself in jail on a murder charge. In those cases, it would be really handy to have...

    Lethal Force Vs Pepper Spray

    I am about to start carrying pepper spray, in addition to my gun. Think about it - an ANTIFA thug gets in your face and starts harassing you, but he is unarmed. If you shoot him, you used disparate force, and you will be guilty of murder or attempted murder. However, if you pepper-spray him...

    Should I Appendix Carry?

    You have to do what works best for you, and you then have to make it work. I'm glad you have found a way that works for you.

    You can get a few different rifles at Walmart, as well as some rifle ammo.

    Walmart is a great place to get shotgun shells, when they have them in stock. They are a lot cheaper there than at other places. Also, Walmart has lots of good accessories, such as gun cleaning supplies.

    Check your local pawn shops. Sometimes you'll get lucky.

    Should I Appendix Carry?

    At 1:11 (in the Aliengear Holster video), the guy puts the holster and the gun right at the 12:00 position, pointing right at his most critical area! I can't do it! No way! But hey, if it works for you, go for it!

    Do you red dot, or not?

    I have a Ruger EC9S. There is no more "plain vanilla" gun that that one. The sights are part of the slide, and the slide and the sights are all black. My thought is that I do not want a red-dot sight on my Ruger. The reason? Simplicity. The simplicity of the gun means that there is no...

    First Time CCW: What Do I Need To Know?

    There is one other thing that I failed to mention, and that is, when you carry, you must become a "peacemaker", if you are not already. You have to do what you can to avoid situations which could result in a fight; and you have to do what you can to reduce tension when things are moving in the...

    First Time CCW: What Do I Need To Know?

    David, since you have shot a lot of guns, you are used to different guns, so you at least have some idea of which guns you prefer. I think there are four factors you need to consider: comfort, weight, caliber, and reliability: Comfort: if it is uncomfortable to carry, you probably won't carry...

    Should I Appendix Carry?

    I cannot appendix carry. I would be worried about it continually. Even if the gun was unloaded.

    Looking for a good IWB holster for an XDM elite 4.5" 9mm

    The most comfortable IWB holster I have ever worn is a Houston ECO Leather holster: https://houstongunholsters.com/collections/best-selling/products/eco-leather-holster-iwb-with-metal-clip-1 It's not kydex, and it won't hold your gun firmly in place. But it is so comfortable that I could wear...

    Factory or Handloads?

    It's factory loads for me. And only the best will do for carrying. I won't carry cheap ammo, because it may not perform when I need it most. However, I will shoot cheap ammo when I'm practicing at the range. Likewise, I would shoot hand loads at the range if I had those.

    Do You See the Threats?

    I was headed for the ATM recently. I saw some guys standing around nearby. They weren't doing anything wrong, but my gut told me to be cautious, so I kept driving, I didn't stop at the ATM. Pay attention, listen to your gut. No harm in being extra careful.
