.22 Caliber – Recreational use! Small and very affordable (ammo wise) to train with, shoot at the range with, and simply have fun with. They are NOT for self defense though! Handgun mags usually hold around 10 rounds. .380 Caliber – Concealment! One of the lowest calibers realistically used for self defense. Many say it [...]
At only 9.4 ounces (plus ammo), I’m assuming that the Ruger LCP is a sheer pleasure to carry. Unfortunately I can only speculate from firing the gun and hearing rave reviews about it. While most of my knowledge about the LCP has come from internet reviews, I must say that my sources are rock solid [...]
Looking for the right baton? The kind without sparkles and streamers. Wanting the perfect defensive baton to accompany you into those ‘No Guns Allowed’ zones? I’ve been looking myself and have come to the conclusion that I wouldn’t trust my life to a product that the professionals wouldn’t use. Professionals don’t skimp and get cheap [...]
Had a great opportunity this last weekend to try out a few guns. A friend brought over a Ruger LCP, Taurus .38 special, Makrov and a Ruger Mark II. The one I’ve been longing to shoot for about a year now is the Ruger LCP, and I must say, I came away impressed. With it’s [...]
Milt Sparks’ Versa Max 2 (VM2) has loops for a belt, which means that you can’t wear the holster on sweatpants or other non-belted pants. VM2 belt loops are sized according to the belt width. You can always use a smaller belt, but a larger belt will be unusable. The Kholster uses clips, instead of [...]
I’m in the process of transferring from carrying a Glock 19 in a Kholster full moon holster to using a Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 IWB (in-the-waistband) holster. Understandably, whenever you try out a new holster, it’s always going to feel different than what you’re used to. Sometimes you’d rather stick with what has worked [...]
A $35 handgun can kill a bad guy just as easily as a $400 firearm. This was the lesson taught by southernprepper1′s video. The short video serves as a reminder that anyone who is mentally capable of using a gun in self defense has no reason not to own a gun. If your budget only [...]
If you’re held at gunpoint at a close range, with no way to get a firearm or defensive weapon out quickly enough, your initial reactive might have to be to disarm the assailant. When doing this, here are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind. All your movements must be quick! < Continual [...]
One of the first steps that anyone interested in getting a concealed carry weapons license should consider is whether or not they qualify for one. The state of Missouri requires that you be at least 23 years old, are a citizen of the US, have assumed residency in Missouri, have not been convicted or pled [...]
Maybe you think that carrying a firearm just isn’t your cup of tea. You might not be able to handle it for religious, ethical or moral reasons. Or maybe you frequent places that you wouldn’t be able to carry your Glock, Springfield XD, Smith & Wesson, or another brand of handgun. These types of places [...]
