I could just as easily spend all my time at SHOT Show looking at and fondling knives as I could guns and related items. But that’s a personal problem. A good knife is a critical part of your EDC gear. Have you ever seen someone who carries a gun who doesn’t also carry a knife? […]
“Hello there,” I said to myself as I stumbled across the Dan Wesson DWX Compact. With just a passing glance you’d think it was another one of the many 1911s in the Dan Wesson lineup. However, the DWX Compact is a bit more than that. The DWX Compact is an experiment in blending some of […]
I own a lot of knives. More than any healthy person probably should (and definitely more than my wife should know about). One of my favorites, though, and certainly one of the more unique blades in my regular carry rotation, is the Sandrin carbon fiber/titanium TCK . This blade is a true thing of beauty. […]
You don’t see many people carry .32 ACP pistols any more. But KelTec still offers their ultra-easy carry little P32 mouse gun. While John packs his in a comfortable DeSantis Sof-Tuck, that’s a gun that’s just as much at home riding in a front pocket (in a pocket holster, of course). Plus, the little gun […]
Over at Everyday Carry, one can peruse what other people carry in their pockets on a daily basis. We feature one of those pocket dumps each and every evening right here at TTAG. It’s interesting to see how others approach packing – both a gun and other accessories for their daily lives. While you see […]
An EDC flashlight is one of the best pieces of gear you can carry, along with a decent pocket knife and/or a multitool. The basic features to look for in an EDC flashlight are durability, output (in lumens), and length of charge. In other words, get you one with a metal housing that can take […]
By Anner Remember the days of D-cell MagLites that doubled as batons? I doubt many carried one of those everyday, save Law Enforcement or utility workers. Most sat in a glovebox or toolbox until a flat tire on a rainy night provided them some attention. Thankfully, this bustling free market economy of ours generates outstanding […]
Let me state right off the bat: I am not a prepper. I’m an urban dweller who usually has a stash of ramen noodles, rice, tuna, and the like in my home because I’m half Vietnamese and having extra food stores is what we do. Obviously, I carry everyday and also have guns that work […]
You will get hurt at some point. It’s virtually inevitable. If not, it’ll be someone you’re with, and a hospital isn’t always right around the corner. It’s basic self-reliance, along with carrying a gun to save lives, to have the resources to plug a hole, stop the bleeding, prevent infection and control pain. Our bare […]
You can assume that if a knife can somehow be concealed in an otherwise unassuming pocket-sized object, someone’s selling it. By combining these remarkably sneaky knives, you could easily have upwards of ten separate blades on your person at all times. If you’re into that. The Gerber Zip Blade: $15 via Amazon Although some of […]
While the GLOCK 26 really isn’t the “baby GLOCK” any more — that title has since fallen to the G42 — it’s still a very packable, reliable, concealed carry gun that gives you 10+1 rounds of 9mm protection to carry on your appointed rounds.
Yes, we call these pocket dumps, and many of the items people display are carried in pockets. But the pistols usually aren’t. In this case, though, Derrick totes a Ruger LCP, a true pocket pistol if ever there was one. Slip one into a pocket holster and you’re good to go all day long without being […]
