EDC

Moreover, what are you going to do, just run into the wild? Forever? What about everyone else who planned to do that?

There are a lot of compact pistols out there, but don’t overlook Sig’s PS365. It’s a micro but worthwhile take on the 1911 that comes in fourteen different models.

With the possible exception of the jacketed hollow-point projectile, I don’t believe there’s a single defensive technology that has progressed as far in the last 30 years as the modern flashlight.

Why is training, specifically in the context of defensive shooting, so important? The answer may surprise you.

“The P365 BB Pistol has similar balance and handling characteristics as the centerfire model and holds 12-rounds for realistic training. The drop magazine also allows fast and easy reloading.”

The thin and decorative belts in question were rarely much more than an inch wide, while the tunnel loops of the PDQ holster were cut to accommodate a one and three-quarter inch duty-type belt. My pistol pitched and rolled on my belt like a rowboat in a North Atlantic gale.

Smith & Wesson is rolling out three new Performance Center pistols, expanding the M&P Shield EZ series of easy-to-use .380 ACP pistols.

I stood at my dresser, looking at my EDC gear, and asked myself, “Is it worth it?” I’d injured my leg and could not move around without assistive devices, and on this particular day, I would be on crutches.

There are two undeniable truths when it comes to shooting: Firearms skills are perishable, and mechanical failures will eventually happen. Both of these are reasons why shooters need to practice clearing malfunctions.
