Everyday Carry Pocket Dump of the Day: Only An Optimist Carries a Speed Strip for His Snubbie

That’s the pocket dump of one Matt Campbell. The 27-year-old Michigander makes his living selling Swedish SNUS, a blend of ground tobacco, water and salt (leather pouch in the upper right corner). Click here to watch Matt’s video on the legal stimulant, derived from snuff. Does that make Matt’s pitch a snuff flick? No. Snuff said? One more thing . . .

If you look in the dictionary under the word “optimist” you’ll find a pic of someone who thinks he can reload a snubbie with a speed strip in the middle of a gunfight.

  1. I just wish it had either paddle or a heel magazine release… I just can’t trust a pocket pistol with a traditional button release anymore.

    And I know this is a bit large for a pocket pistol, but I pocket my Walther PPS M1, and as a big guy it works for me. I’ve just had issues with my previous KelTec P3AT and Kahr PM9 ejecting magazines in my pocket occasionally. The magazines weren’t fully ejected and obvious, just ejected enough to cause issues stripping off the next round. Never happened with my PPS though, guess I’ll have to continue to wait for HK/Walther to come out with another thinner or higher capacity option with a paddle/heel release. I may have to try out a Bond Bullpup9 though since I have a penchant for the bizarre even though it also has a traditional mag release…

  2. I see nothing wrong with carrying extra ammo for any gun. It’s not just for that extremely rare scenario where you’re in a Hollywood style shootout. I like carrying extra ammo for the slightly more probable (but still probably not much more so than the Hollywood scenario) scenario of being in a survival situation where having more ammo is better than not.

  3. And I just finally picked up a sig p938… I had assumed I found the apex, but who knows. Siglite night sights are pretty nice. I just with they would add some flo orange or something to the front sight for easier pick up.

  4. Personally, I’m looking forward to be able to hold one in my grubby little paws to see how it stacks up against my XDs’s.
    It by far exceeds their capacities, thats for sure.
    My P220s & 226 have always been asking for a little brother, maybe now they’ll shut up n leave me alone.

    As far as lighting is concerned, I was told they were working on 3 versions. A standalone light, a standalone laser as well as a combo.
    If and when I add a 365 to my collection, I’m not gonna be camping out for days like the shnobbs awaiting the release of the newest iPhone.
    That my friends, is just phargin’ stupid.
    It’s not like they’re RUSH tickets for another final farewell tour only to be played in 1 venue per country or anything … 😉

  5. OK………. Even if it was two dozen (24) guns that’s still just 0.004%
    That’s not even 1/2 of 1% Right? my math is rusty, please correct me if I’m wrong.
    25% would be 1,500 guns, Then I would start to be concerned.
    > less than 1% is NOTHING to write home about

  6. I agree with the main theme of the article but I prefer Dieter’s CQD – https://cqd.net

    20+ years training SEALs and three-letter agency guys while we have been at war – and built around having a pistol and/or M4! I trained in 2004 been back for a refresher every year since.

  7. So . . . When my dentist gave me 2 pounds of alligator tail that he had killed the week before my visit, was he violating “medical ethics?”
