The Kentucky Senate passed a constitutional carry bill last week. Constitutional carry, if you’re unaware, means that Americans don’t need a government permission slip to own, keep and bear arms. It applies the Second Amendment as it was written and intended, acknowledging every American’s innate right to armed self-defense. That Senate vote, however, was a […]
This post is aimed at people who haven’t yet committed to daily concealed carry. The fence-sitters out there who are deciding whether to take the concealed carry plunge. If you already carry a gun on a daily basis, please share this article with your newbie and daily carry-reluctant friends. The more people who carry concealed, the […]
Yes it’s another Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0…this one is in .40 S&W, though. Cue requisite “short and weak” comments. Here’s the deal, though: .40 S&W still has a place in the self-defense world. Sure, shooting 9mm is cheaper and recoil is a bit less. But have you ever considered perhaps the edge .40 S&W […]
We know, it’s not easy out there. We’re living in a Golden Age of carry handguns. An aspiring gun carrier has to choose from dozens of options; a bewildering selection of brands, calibers, barrel lengths, and actions. Most of them are very good and will treat you extremely well. Gun store salesmen, however, are notoriously bad at cutting through […]
Picking from the field of Ruger LCP holsters is the next step after committing to a pint-size concealed carry gun like the little .380 ACP pistol. Which type of Ruger LCP holsters are going to be the best way to tote this tiny terror? This dilemma is something anyone who carries a micro pistol has […]
Most states have mandatory training requirements as part of their concealed carry permit process. The quality of that training can vary. Widely. That said, most of it tends to be pretty good and fairly comprehensive, including everything from the basics of how guns operate to compliance with local laws. But no matter how well taught […]
Maybe you’re one of the millions of Americans who carry a firearm regularly. If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you are. How many of us are there? John Lott pegged the number of permit holders at 14.5 million back in 2016. That was more than two years ago, though. and we now have 14 […]
This GLOCK 27 has an extended magazine with an XGrip Magazine Sleeve over it for comfort’s sake. Yes, the Glock 27 is chambered in .40 S&W, and in my experience it’s an accurate little gun. Using an extended magazine is a good idea to improve your grip but it does make it more difficult to […]
Greetings TTAGers. This is the last part of my interview with Male Concubine (see earlier posts here), who has persistently and consistently irritated TTAG readers with his love of guns and shooting. No doubt y’all won’t miss him a bit, but I’m sure he’ll be back for more interviews sometime in the future. ED: Hey […]
Another one of the ever-popular GLOCK 43s along with a SOFTT-W tourniquet make up the high points of this pocket dump. It’s been awhile since we talked about tourniquets but I’ll keep this short and sweet. Do you carry a tourniquet? If not…why not?
He could have run in the opposite direction and called the police, but that’s not what a sheepdog does. At around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday morning in Dekalb, Georgia, two employees and three customers were inside a Family Dollar on Covington Highway. Suddenly, a man pulled out a gun, pointed it directly into the female store […]
This pocket dump includes a GLOCK 43 with grip tape and a Kershaw Blur folding blade. The GLOCK is carried in a single-loop Kydex holster. How do you guys prefer your holsters? Single loop or two loops? A single can be great on a smaller-profile holster; a double typically means it’s a larger holster which […]
