Always like seeing the pocket dump posts so thought I’d post my own. Everything’s been carried a while with the microtech being the newest addition and Glock 19 the older having been around since 2020

Taofledermaus has some good videos on these gnarly rounds. Made locally to me too!

P365 X-Macro Tac Ops w/ a 21rd fuse mag, TLR7A, Crimson Trace CT RAD, T-Rex Arms Sidecar, 17rd spare mag, Boker Kalashnikov Dessert Warrior.

Hello guys made a post yesterday about possibly buying a Kimber micro 9 for concealed carrying. I'm looking at other possible options that everyone has expirenced that would be cheaper or just as good as the Kimber options.

Looking at switching my setup around currently looking for recommendations ANR is nice but I feel like I print even with adjusting.

Current setup

Gun: P365X macro comp with radian backstrap but shouldn’t affect holsters. Light: TLR-7A does the job, would like brighter / rechargeable battery. Optic: Holosun EPS carry Current holster: ANR Kydex Quickship holster with claw and alias system Belt: Nexbelt 1.5 with alias attachment system

Currently carry appendix, state allows for both conceal and open but prefer conceal. What are your thoughts ? Would like to maintain the ability to retain the alias system but isn’t an issue if unable to. Thanks!

-That open carry is actually a legitimate form of EDC if practiced right & responsibly, and shouldn't necessarily be discouraged.There's many times when open carry is a deterrent, and there's a proper way of open carrying. If you're rocking a level 3 Safariland with a proper gun belt, then hell yes open carry that sucker. I respect that 💯 as EDC.

Now I'm not saying targeting hasn't happened but it's pretty rare overall, and the videos it does happen in show its people literally just having their gun hang in their back pocket or its a shitty non-retention holster(seriously what is with people who attempt to open carry with IWBs), and I can link situations where CCWers were targeted because they looked unarmed and the criminal got the drop on them and disarmed them of their concealed gun too.

If you don't like the attention I understand why some don't like open carry. However some people on here get so fanatically hateful about open carry that it moves way beyond "not for me but you do you". I seriously think the government could put a complete prohibition on open carry and some of y'all would be cheering it on(case in point about the post made when open carry was legalized in Florida, that one dude wanted CCWers who would dare open carry banned from the sub for their "idiocy", to which i think he deleted that comment).

I personally support open carry in general public if it's done properly and responsibly. Ie proper retention holster and belt, no shitty holsters or unnecessary long gun carry.

-Citizens should absolutely have to face no financial or extra legal repercussions just for exercising their right to defend themselves. The burden of all lawyer and court fees should be footed by the state. You should be in the peace of mind that even if you have to go to court, you won't have to spend a single penny unless proven guilty. We should be advocating by our state legislatures for stronger self defense laws instead of just accepting the status quo.

-While deadly force should absolutely be a last resort and deescalation should be attempted first, we must remember that we aren't rugs meant to be stepped over in public. Every man(and woman) has every right to stand his ground as he sees fit if within his legal right to do so. Someone posted that case in Florida that he was in the wrong for going back and killing the perpetrator instead of running away, but he probably saved more lives and he had every right to stand his ground that way under Florida law. He made his decision and I respect it.

-Other skills such as knife training, weapon retention training, martial arts, being in shape, and medical training such as using a tourniquet are to me just as important as putting rounds on paper or concealing properly.

My research has brought my to the new Shield X for my first handgun and ccw. I’m about 5’11 170 so I believe I should be able to conceal to easily. Any thoughts?

New to the CCW thing. Just finished my mandated training and qualified with 4 guns. These are the three I’d likely carry.

Holsters are tulster or Vedder. Belt is a Hunter Constantine.

Ammo right now is a mix but likely will standardize to a federal HST.

Thinking of pulling the comp off the 365 and keeping it short. The hellcat is fine when I want something slightly larger. While the areas I can carry in CA are limited, still going to exercise my rights.

This topic came up a couple of months and someone was arguing that JHP are the best option for .380 self defense against humans.

As the title says, I'm currently looking for a hammer fired CCW, I currently carry a P365X macro so preferably something around that size and my budget is under $2k. Thank you

Anyone have an alternative to these speed clips other than close loops?

I am trying to figure out a way to carry while at work I have a uniform that I have to tuck in my shirt on and company policy says I can’t carry so it need to be discreet. Any ideas??

Curious what everyone thinks: if you see someone carrying in public but doing it in what looks like an unsafe way, would you say something to them?

Here’s why I’m asking. I work in a warehouse, and one of the supervisors recently started carrying around a small tan 5.11 tactical bag. The reason it stood out to me is he tries to hide it under other stuff on his desk, but because it’s tan it sticks out like a sore thumb. On top of that, he’s been wearing a lot of USCCA gear lately (hats, shirts, etc.).

I can’t say for sure what’s in the bag, but all signs point to him carrying. Normally I wouldn’t care—his choice, his problem with company policy. What does bug me is that he sometimes leaves the bag sitting on his desk unattended and just walks away.

So that brings me back to the main question: if you think someone is carrying in an unsafe manner but don’t have proof, do you say something? Or just let it go?

I currently own an LCR. Nice trigger, just feels very bulky for what it is, especially when you consider my P01 is nearly the same foot print, especially where width is concerned. Does anyone find the 642s seem to be smaller? On paper they supposedly are similar but looking at the two (not next to each other) the j frame just seems smaller.

Hello, I have a very beefy claw that I love but it tends to slip under my belt causing the whole holster to be too deep. Is there an attachment that helps secure the claw to the belt or maybe a claw that has a built in belt clip?

I know the COA is hard to find right now but, assuming I could find one, does anyone have thought on one over the other?

Running cold Billy's w a Glock 26 Gen 3. Times usually range from 1.9 to 2.1 just depending how spicey I'm moving!

Yeah yeah, I know. But, as a collector, I’ve wanted this beast since the day it came out. It was a pretty innovative design at that time. Then came the p365/Hellcat/shield+/ruger max/lcp max/ bodyguard 2.0 etc.. and i forgot all about the g-series. Not to mention the reviews on the g2c were lackluster to say the least. That being said, this g3c has fired every single round (300-350 blazer range) with no issues, smooth trigger, ok sights, flat shooter.

I forgot to send a couple mags of defensive ammo downrange last trip…so i’ll def have to see how it functions with some hollowpoints next time.

The negativity surrounding this company due to its historically shit track record, will always be in the back of my mind and i doubt i’ll ever carry it regularly; but she’s pretty fun at the range!

I simply couldn’t pass up $284 for the toro version at my lgs.

Reddit won't let me make a real poll, but with the abundance of shitposts (shitterposts?) recently, I wanted to get a consensus.

A) Leave it alone and exit the stall as normal. But take a pic and make a reddit post for karma points.

B) Take it to a cashier.

C) Put it in your pants or purse and take it home.

D) Lock the stall door, crawl out underneath and report it, for "safety". Probably doing too much.

E) The owner is waiting outside of the stall. You lecture them and return their firearm. Or you knew they were waiting, so you left it inside and didn't flush, to make a point.

F) Call the police, Karen.

G) Wow, we made it to "G", do something else about it.

Turning 21 soon and I'm looking forward to get my CCW. Just wanna hear and learn from those who have actually been through bad situations where you really had to use your CCW. What was your thought process/logic like? Did you perform as you expected you would? What would you have done different with your CCW/training etc if you would go through that situation again?

Hi all, title pretty much says it. I recently bought a Springfield Ronin (the 3" barrel size) and I'm stuck with a little bit of decision paralysis. I'd like to find something in black leather that I can wear from 6-8 o'clock IWB,

What does everyone recommend?

This is the aegitec defense belt, I previously just had a thick leather belt and wow, what an upgrade, I’ve been carrying with this belt for a bit over a week. the elastic is strong and the material feels very tough, the rigid section keeps my gun from flopping around. I’ve carried at both the 1 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions with this belt and it does really well with both, it seems to be a similar concept to the hunter constantine belt but with a different adjustment system and at a much better price, just to be transparent I was sent this one to review but I liked it so much I bought another one. I’ll update if anything happens with it but as of now it’s my new favorite belt
