We often discuss the gear that should be carried daily, but how about the best ways to carry said gear? In the same respect we consider all of the different ways to carry guns, flashlights, knives, and everything else on our person, but what about the larger items, or those that are best confined to…

Should we be public about our gun ownership or should we keep it to ourselves? As with all topics of this nature I like to stay subjective and look at all angles. One’s choice in handling this matter is really as personal a decision as what firearm to own. Let’s start with a good long…

Ah the laser sight, iconized by Hollywood and pop culture alike as the say-all, end-all of shot placement. “Just put the dot where you want the bullet” is how they are often sold, but is that entirely true? I mean if lasers were the only aiming device needed surely they would have become stock features…

                      When the holsters arrived I gave them a once over and a quick test fit. I noticed that a stiffer polycarbonate material was used where most holsters makers would use every day Kydex. That gave the unit a much more solid feel and eliminated…

                        “Short, fat and slow does the job.” This is the battle cry of every middle-aged man who finds White Castle to be more of a support group than a guilty pleasure. Fun fact: this applies to defensive ammunition as well. Of course, I’m…

“If you want to keep it, you have to give it away.” Interesting paradox, right? The preceding adage can refer to many aspects of life but it is almost exclusively associated with knowledge. As more and more new gun owners enter “our” ranges most folks will look at this as a hindrance. However, if you…

Just a few weeks ago I informed a student that he was going to have to supply his own shatterproof eye protection, as we were suspending loaners during COVID-19. He replied that he has prescription glasses, but wasn’t sure if they were shatterproof. Of course, most prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses are, but it got me…

Carrying an extra magazine doesn’t make you paranoid, it makes you prepared. While we do everything to ensure our firearm is at the ready there are at least three issues that can only be solved with a magazine swap. First, let’s pay homage to the Tiger King series and point out that some guns, NOT…

From time to time every gun owner finds themselves in a situation where they are being prodded by somebody in complete awe that they are ACTUALLY speaking to somebody who owns firearms and even dares to go to a shooting range. I have been to countless dinner parties desperately trying to make eye contact with…

From firearms to fashion, Popular EDC gets their hands into a little bit of everything. Most of us spend a disproportionate amount of time on belts and holsters when compared to the other part of the days concealment…clothing. Up until recently, “carry” clothing didn’t blend in with conventional styling. You basically had two choices, “tactical…

It is a good practice to change out your defensive ammunition every four to six months. Most gun owners will hem and haw over that advice, citing that the “expense” is too great to do that twice a year. If you ask us, it sounds far more expensive to get a click instead of a…

When Flugaloo fear was on the rise everyday civilians found themselves scraping together whatever cash wasn’t already invested in toilet paper to buy a firearm. When a gun is purchased under these circumstances it typically is not a Cabot or a Caesar Guerini that comes home, it’s something with more of a bargain-basement feel. Today,…
