A while ago, there was a list of some great pocket pistols options if you’re inclined toward a small .380 ACP pistol for concealed carry and/or self-defense. Here are a few more. Before we get started, a few things must be mentioned. First, make sure you get a gun you can (and will) actually train […]
Reader W.B. Reimer writes: I read yesterday’s post on realistic CCW training and wanted to say how timely this was, since I inadvertently “triggered” someone online today by posing a question about his choice of EDC. He carries a GLOCK 43, a spare mag, one of those little pocket revolvers in .22 magnum and a […]
By Johannes Paulsen I read about too many negligent discharges involving re-holstering a handgun without sufficient brain engagement. Too many gun owners seem to take the process for granted or speed through it and don’t pay attention to what they’re doing. That can lead to embarrassment, pain or worse. Don’t let this happen to you. To some, […]
By NRA-ILA Governor Ron DeSantis signed SB-7030 within hours after receiving it. SB-7030 contains the language that authorizes local school boards to allow classroom teachers to go through training and carry firearms on school campuses. News reports suggested that “Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America” and another Bloomberg group, “Students Demand Action for […]
Reno police ruled that a late-night April shooting was justified after learning that the so-called “victim” (the dead guy) tried to sexually assault two women before being shot. Initially, cops had arrested the shooter, claiming that she had been drinking. Further investigation determined her actions justified. Josue Oconitrillo, 29, displayed poor victim selection instincts when […]
Arriving Thursday morning before NRAAM 2019, Dan and I dropped off our bags, slapped on our carry guns, and headed to a local range to meet up with Naroh Arms. They’re scant days away from shipping the first production runs of their N1 pistol, a sub-compact 9mm carry gun. The N1 is a polymer-framed, extra-slim […]
By John Sprague There is a large contingent of gun users — many of them here — who are adamant that the only safety a gun needs is a little control over your booger hook. I would like to present an alternative view. Manual safeties are not the enemy of readiness that some would have […]
Beretta’s APX striker-fired 9mm is a top-tier duty gun; one that I can’t help but feel is oft-overlooked. But not by Jon Wayne Taylor, who liked the RDO, Centurion, and Compact to the tune of a strong 4 stars or by Dan Zimmerman, who gave the Full Size a full-on 5 stars and often carries it […]
When it comes to entering the world of concealed carry, it’s easy to get lost in the weeds. You have to choose the type and brand of handgun, the size of the gun, its caliber, trigger type and more. You have to choose your carry system(s): inside-the-waistband or outside-the-waistband holster, ankle carry, pocket carry, etc. You need […]
If you drive a cab or operate a ride share vehicle, there’s always a risk. You never know who’s getting in the back of your car or what’s on their mind. Uber and Lyft have policies preventing their drivers from carrying firearms, but a lot of their drivers ignore that prohibition in favor of being able […]
A good gun belt makes a huge difference in your everyday carry comfort. You need something that will support your EDC gun and maybe a spare magazine or two, but won’t break the bank. The good news is, you don’t have to spend a huge amount of money. See our post listing of a number of […]
By Jim Barrett When you make the decision to carry a gun, you’ve taken responsibility for the safety of yourself and your loved ones back from the agents of the State. The decision to use your gun in the defense of your loved ones is a no-brainer. The tricky question is whether or not to […]
