The Beretta Nano, or the BU9 (Beretta USA 9mm) Nano, is certainly a mysterious and heavily avoided pistol for reasons I don’t understand after owning it. But lets talk about how all of this started. Beretta has been around for about 5 centuries. They have been building quality guns for the military and the civilian enthusiast since its start in […]
There exists a continuing debate about the effectiveness of the .380 ACP cartridge in self defense scenarios. Because I possess, and exercise, my concealed carry permit, I’ve also put a great deal of thought into the caliber of pistol I choose for CCW. My limitations to what I can effectively carry vary depending on my […]
What Is A Drill? Drills are a method of repeating something over and over until you can’t screw it up. Courses of fire are timed scenarios that are designed to test our skills and diagnose what we need to work on. If there is one thing that I have learned from my time using guns, professionally or otherwise, […]
So there are not any actual set in stone rules for an everyday carry handgun, everybody is different and has different situational needs. That being said I typically tend to stick to a set of requirements when it comes to selecting a firearm for an EDC. This has nothing to do with caliber or brand […]
The Vertx EDC Essential bag is a departure from what I have typically used for my go-bag. I often found myself leaving my full-size backpack in my vehicle instead of carrying it with me to places that I’d truthfully be more comfortable having more than just my first-line EDC. While it was an adjustment to […]

Every holster and firearms combination is different or has the possibility to be, given the different body types and capabilities of different people. The draw can be done from the same setup a variety of ways depending on the individual’s position as well. There are […]
Kershaw’s Injection 3820 is a small frame knife that comes with an incredibly sane price-tag of around 10 dollars. It contains a three-inch, bead blasted, 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade that comes with a straight flat grind and razor-sharp scandi edge out of the box. It is the perfect length for an everyday carry folding knife in most states, but more importantly […]
Tactical load bearing belts have become quite a hot item in recent years. Shooters now have a comfortable middle ground in between “full fighting gear” and “mags in your pants pockets”. If carrying only the essential gear while maintaining a maximum of comfort and reliability is what you’re after, odds are something like Gadsden Dynamics‘ […]
My holster cup runneth over. Recently I was able to run through Safariland’s QLS holster system and now I get a crack at their 537 Open-top concealment Belt Slide holster for the Glock 17/22. Being a belt slide holster, it offers a bit more of a low profile than the QLS system I tested earlier. Here’s […]
You hear a text jingle from your pocket. You pull your phone out but there’s no longer cell service despite being in the middle of a city. Something is seriously wrong and you figure that out faster than most. It’s time to get by based on what you carry with you every day. Doesn’t matter […]
