Concealed Carry

On Nov 4, a dad from LA defended his wife and 5-month-old baby from home intruders and California has now revoked his concealed carry permit for it. 

Deep concealment handguns are their own separate genre of firearms that include a wide variety of calibers as well as a multitude of operational methods.

In the highly competitive compact handgun market, it is rare to see a real contender to the crown. But the 509 Compact MRD is just that.

A good way to start a fight amongst your friends is to bring up the subject of lights and lasers for concealed carry guns. Opinions run strong on this one, and they are all over the map. Some will tell you lasers build bad habits, and you should never have one. Some will tell you lights get in the way on a CCW piece, and you shouldn’t use one anyway. And some will just tell you that if John Moses Browning intended you to have a laser and light, he would have built one back in 1910.

Gun enthusiasts often debate the merits and demerits of various firearm carry styles. One that often sparks controversy is the Appendix Inside the Waistband (AIWB), also known as “appendix carry.”

Once only seen on expensive, tricked-out race guns – the ability to mount an electronic sight to the handgun has become much more commonplace.

The pistols are available in both standard and MRD (micro red dot) configurations as well as both black and flat dark earth (FDE) finishes.

In the past, I would swap out my Glock for a knife when I was unable to carry a firearm but was never fully satisfied with this solution. Then I found the Taser Pulse.

Everyone and their mom proclaims the superiority of appendix holsters and appendix carry. However, I’ve had a real issue finding appendix carry rigs that I’ve found comfortable and viable for concealed carry. A friend convinced me to try the Phlster Floodlight, and he even sent me one on his dime because he was so sure I’d love it.
