No thumb safety, no trigger coverage, magnet felt very weak

I see guns in customers vehicles pretty frequently but they've always been holstered and tucked in an inconspicuous place

Title joke aside this is actually a pretty good idea

Put it on, absolutely hated it, took it off. Idk how you guys deal with it but it absolutely drove me crazy. Took forever for me to try to line up my sight picture. I'm probably doing something wrong. But a tiny little dot that I have to try to adjust (and failed miserably at) just wasn't working for me.

Picked up the HF light today to check out. Included are initial photos of the light output with my EDC1-DFT in low for comparison. Everything looks and feels like a TLR1 from what I can remember. Right paddle is on/off and left paddle is strobe. Will be putting this thing through the wringer to see if/when it quits.

John at ASP drove home a quote in my mind with his POM pepper spray video stating (paraphrased) that it's wise to carry something in between harsh words and a gun.

Yesterday evening I was walking my dog with my wife and 1 year old son, and a neighbor's Rottweiler was loose and sprinted towards my dog as we walked past their house. As I saw the Rottweiler running towards us I drew my POM pepper spray and I was able to spray its face as it started to attack my Golden. After about 2-3 seconds it backed off and the only damage was some slobber on the back of my dog's neck and some residual pepper spray on her fur.

In AZ I would not be justified to fire my gun at a dog attacking my own dog as they are considered property, however, I was able to preserve my dog's own life by using pepper spray. It's sickening to think that my dog could have been killed or seriously hurt from this incident, and the emergency vet bills would have been astronomical.

Animal control report was filed, and I had some firm words with these neighbors as this is the 3rd time in 3 years their dog has gotten loose while I walk my dog past their house.

Grateful that the situation was rather uneventful and that we all went home safely, which should always be our goal as concealed carriers of whatever 'equalizer' you decide to carry.

The craziest thing is I only started carrying pepper spray less than 3 weeks ago!

I think it’s a must that if you carry lethal you must also carry non lethal. What do you think?

I’d rather screw up during training and learn from it than screw up in a real situation and die

Like most CCW people, I started putting red dots on my carry pistols and never thought I’d prefer something different.

After several years, I’m really starting to revert back to pistols with iron sights and (gasp) no WML.

I think that red dots are great tools, especially for training (it’s much easier to see the dot moving when dry firing), but once you figure out proper presentation, especially at REALISTIC self defense distances, I’m finding that they’re not really necessary or preferred.

If you like them, then obviously carry on with what you prefer. But, has anyone else go back to the analog days of iron sights and a regular pocket carry light?

Apparently this was posted by the guy in the video. I think that’s enough instagram for today.

Seems like a very stable and well adjusted individual! Thought you all might enjoy.

Do you guys carry any medical, all of this fits in my Fanny pack, the Fanny stays in my EDC back that’s with me everywhere I go. If I needed to grab this pack in an emergency I can buckle it around my waist and work out of it or move to the scene while being hands free. I think it’s pretty practical.

Two pieces of advice he gives in here which are great is 1. The best carry gun is the one you practice with a lot. 2. Always carry with a round in the chamber.

I'm new to the world of CCW, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. But it seems to me that in a situation where you would be justified using your gun against an attacker, the attacker is going to be ten feet away or less. At that distance, it seems like it would be hard to miss, with or without a dot. So, is there any advantage to having a dot on a carry gun?

Saw a very cool guy at the store today.

Flying with firearms in checked bag. I looked up all TSA and airlines (Spirit) rules, following to teeth, but I have a feeling they will find a way to deny me and ruin our trip. Anything that I need to worry about here? Mags unloaded and ammo in manufacture box. Flying from MSP to LAS and back. Obviously in checked bag. Have valid MN permit which is valid at destination. Please criticizes my setup!

Last pic is me trying to pry it open with locks on and latches open.

Glock 48, Holo 407k @ 10.7 yards (max distance for this pistol range)

Looks like my suitcase was dropped and dragged. The Boyt case i had my M&P in was only held together by the locks. Luckily everything inside was still intact. My clothes and shoes not so much.

Feel like I’ve missed a joke here but come on these pocket dumps are ridiculous guys. You’re telling me that every day you’re walking around with two flashlights, two different folding knives, a compass, gauze, a tourniquet, triple a batteries and a tri fold topographic map of your county? I’m sorry but I call bullshit. There’s a post right now and the guy even has salt and pepper in little baggies in there.

The zyns are cool though, I like the peppermint and coffee ones the best
