As cool weather comes I always see folks talking about moving to a “winter” gun-larger and heavier but can be carried concealed easily under a winter coat. That’s all true, but it’s equally true that the big blaster secured under a heavy coat is not exactly “accessible” quickly. Having spent many years in the land of the long winter I take a very different approach. In colder weather, when a heavy coat is needed I’m usually carrying my favorite pocket pistol-a Bond Bullpup 9 in a sticky holster, either in a blue Jean or coat pocket. Very concealable 8 rd piece and very accessible. You can literally have it in your hand inside a coat pocket where it’s ready if, God forbid, it’s ever needed. Meanwhile I can be nice and warm inside my heavy coat. Next time you’re preparing for winter carry ask yourself “can I actually get to that cannon under my coat quickly?” If the answer is “no” perhaps it’s time to review your options.
FWIW I have a first year production Bond that I bought new. To date it has well over 2 k rounds through it, including 800 of my reloads and, thus far, nary a single hiccup. I’ve not used Blazer aluminum case or any junk steel case stuff, but it’s ate a bunch of S&B and Winchester white box. A very fine firearm imho.
