Last week, I offered up my top 5 list of compact 9mms. Some of you took issue with my choices. That’s cool. I get it. So I’m trying it again. This time, I’m looking at 10 of the best single-stacks ideal for concealed carry.

A couple of weeks ago, we ran a Top 5 Compact .45 ACP article that stirred up a lot of controversy. That isn’t surprising. A lot of you have already formed your own opinions. I expect this list will be just as contentious, if not more. The list of compact .45s is limited, as there aren’t that many out there. 9mm is a different story. There are a lot of compact 9mms–choosing the best five requires a lot more thought. But we’re up top the task.

How do you take a 1911 and get it to run at speeds that would make a .357 Magnum jealous? Meet the 450 SMC. The Short Magnum Cartridge can push a 185 grain JHP over 1,350 FPS.

Less than a decade ago the standard for military assaulters was a 2.5 inch thick super stiff belt, to which you attached your pistol and pistol mags. Usually with duct tape. They were heavy, uncomfortable, and had a bad habit of rubbing your body raw when you wore them over 2 hours. In short, they sucked, but they were all we had. You don’t know what you are missing until you get an awesome piece of gear. And the VTAC Brokos is that.

Trashcans in campgrounds across this country are being rudely overturned. Clotheslines across the heartland are being torn from their moorings, and laundry scattered hither and yon. Though late night cable crews struggle in vain to capture images of the culprits, their efforts have been fruitless. Half-assed, I say. It is up to us, the sportsmen of this venerable republic to stand united and bag these unruly bruits. With that noble goal in mind, I present the top 5 guns for hunting Sasquatch.

Instructor Zero’s one shot drill: Glock 17, Gas Mask S10, 20 yards, Steel Pole. Man’s game.

GunsAmerica presents a guest post–two teachable moments from one concealed carry certification class. What do you do when a student washes his gun in the sink of the restaurant where you’re holding the class? And what do you when the gun goes off accidentally and it is you, the instructor, who is holding the gun?

There’s no denying the feeling of potential instilled by a powerful handgun. And when that gun fits your hand just right, the feeling is even better. The last decade has seen a resurgence in the popularity of the .45 ACP, a round whose reputation has been built by more than a century of proven results, and the guns that fire the round keep getting smaller and better. Here are 5 .45 ACP concealed carry pistols that push the limits of form and function.

Alien Gear Holsters has an innovative design concept that sets them apart from almost every other holster maker. It begins with a genuine commitment to modularity that comes in at an almost unbelievable price point. This is possible thanks to an incredibly simple structure. And if the price doesn’t convince you try this–they will let you test drive a holster for 30 days. If that weren’t enough, they guarantee all parts. And, my favorite, if you ever decide to change the gun you’re carrying, Alien Gear will trade out the Kydex shell.
