Some concealed carriers have some bad habits. This episode is based partly on personal experience and partly on an article by Matt Schlueter.

Bad habits include printing, exposing, touching, looking, telegraphing, active telegraphing, passive telegraphing, bumping, forgetting, dropping, and more. I also discuss the problems associated with carrying the wrong gun.

I’ve always believed in a concealed carry “system.” All of the parts work together. What I mean is your gun, holster and belt work together to complete your concealed carry system. Well, add another item to the list. The CCW COMFORT SLING. Tony Ferrante, the owner of the company joins me to discuss how his product helps to complete the system.

What will you do if you have to fight to your handgun?

The audio quality of this interview didn’t turn out as good as I hoped it would. I’m not sure what I did, but my microphone settings were all messed up, so I’ve done the best I could to make this interview with Jon Payne from Suarez International, sound good enough for you to get something out of it. My apologies in advance. This episode begins with an audio comment from a listener regarding my last episode, then a little commentary from me and then the interview regarding Advanced Close Range Gunfighing. I just finished the Gun Rights Policy Conference in Chicago and it was great! Later this week, I will post another episode with some good quality audio from the GRPC conference. I interviewed some listeners and some other podcasters. So download that on Friday of this week. For now, enjoy this show as much as you can. Thanks for listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show

Can you carry a big gun? Why not? If so, why do you carry a large gun? Questions often asked, so I give you my answers. First I start with a review of the .357SIG, after I went to the range and shot a Glock 33. The Pro Arms Podcast recent review of the .357SIG got me interested in what all the fuss was about. I must say, I was quite impressed. Then I talk about an IDPA experience and a little bit of news and listener feedback. The main topic is carrying a big gun and why you should do it.

Highlights:

  • .357SIG Glock 33 review.
  • Using caliber conversion barrels in .40 cal and .357sig guns.
  • Using the wrong recoil spring in Glock 19.
  • What happens when you clean 2 guns at the same time.
  • IDPA match recap.
  • Big Slims Firearms store controversy.
  • How the right belt and holster help you comfortably carry a big gun.
  • Compromises in concealed carry and why I think you shouldn’t make too many of them.
  • The case for carrying a high capacity weapon.

Holsters and Methods of Carry.  In this episode I discuss some personal experience on holsters and carry positions.  Where should you carry?  What holster to use and how quick can you draw?  This can be a controversial subject with different opinions from everyone.

Highlights:

  • Leather vs. Kydex holsters
  • Appendix carry vs strong side carry
  • Crossdraw carry
  • Belts (the most important part)
  • Pocket carry and pocket holsters for your handgun
