I spent some time shooting the H&K VP9, so I reviewed it. Then I got to thinking about another discussion I had with some fellow podcasters about open carry, CCW and constitutional carry, so I expanded on that too.

Single stack, slim 9mm pistols that are pocketable seem to be the most popular self defense pistols on the market today. I own 2 very nice guns, the Kahr PM9 and the Shield 9mm. Both are superb. But Jon Payne and I have a difference of opinion as to which is best. So we analyze both of these little guns and also talk about open carry.

Do you live in an apartment? I think it changes the game as far as home defense and what gun you might choose. So this episode is dedicated to those living in apartments and what you might want to think about. Also, if you’re shopping for a gun safe, I discuss that too.

Smith and Wesson M&P Pistols are quite popular among law enforcement and civilian CCW’ers. The Army is also considering M&P pistols to be issued to troops. Ben Branam recently took an M&P Armorers course taught by Smith and Wesson. I interviewed him on this subject and it’s quite interesting.

What to look for when buying your first handgun. This episode is about what not to look for actually. It’s just my opinion of course, but it’s based on a great deal of experience of my own and others. Also, I cover voice mails about aftermath of a self defense shooting, post election gun and ammo purchases, a Beretta Cheetah and more. This episode also features an audio clip by Massad Ayoob and Tom Gresham recorded for Guns And ammo called Action Plan.

Ben Branam reviews his Glock 19 with a Trijicon RMR red dot sight. This is a pretty neat set up. Ben shot several hundred rounds through it and offers a very non partial review of his 3rd generation Glock with an RMo2 red dot optic.
