    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I tested the Alien Gear Rapid Force Slim Level II holster for my Glock 19. It is available for several popular duty gun models, including products equipped with lights and optics.

    HK VP9A1-B Makes Strong Case as a Duty Handgun (opens the original)

    Off-Body Carry: Benefits, Risks and Why It Shouldn’t Be the First Choice (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Most people know that I’m not an advocate for off-body carry. While I acknowledge there is a place for it, I have seen many people violate the general firearms rules because of their carry system. I’m not immune to that either. In fact, one of the few times where I did something stupid with a gun was when I had it in a fanny pack. The problem with off-body carry is the attitude of the user dictates its effectiveness. If the user does not have a realistic approach about their defensive posture, t
