Concealed Carry Tips from Matt Jacques & Massad Ayoob
Those of us who take concealed carry seriously, along with the responsibility that comes with it, also commit ourselves to receiving proper training and practicing as much as we can.

Kit Review: Smith and Wesson’s M&P45 Handgun
In the world of polymer pistols, none are so ubiquitous as the Glock. People often forget that before the Glock ever came into existence, Heckler and Koch had been building polymer-frame pistols since the 1950s.

Gear Review: T.REX ARMS Holsters
T.REX ARMS came to my attention after admittedly impressive speed drill videos from their Instagram account kept popping up in my feed. I had more or less sworn off appendix carry for my personal needs, but when I picked up the G19 MOS I decided to give it another shot. I went on a little AIWB […]

Mike Ritland’s Concealed Carry: The Diamondback 380
I was out in Texas picking up my dog from Military Working and Private Protection Dog trainer Mike Ritland and noticed he had a new personal concealed carry piece.

Ed Brown Special Forces Carry 1911
I recently examined reproductions of John Browning’s patent application drawings for what ultimately became the 1911 and was reminded that his original design did not feature a thumb safety, which was added later at the request of the Army (the cavalry, I believe). What I did not realize was how rounded the butt of the […]
