My fiancé got arrested for not having his concealed carry permit on him after he told Pasadena police (who were responding to his call about a guy who rear-ended then ran away) about our Ruger that he keeps in his glove government

Hi Guys

I need some recommendation for pocket carry, 9mm or 380, needs to have manual safety, no revolver

I normally carry a 80X Cheetah, but its too big for gym , need a smaller one that had safety for pocket carry,

much appreciated.

I have a sig xmacro with a Wilson combat xl grip and a light. I’ve seen options for the light I have but which gun am I buying it for? I assume the xl so the grip and trigger fit right but the xmacro slide is thicker.

Just picked up a G45 Gen 5… what are some nice daily concealed holsters? Also recommended flashlight and optics?

I usually carry a Shield Plus or a bodyguard 2.0. But I recently bought a 6904, and I just think it would be nice to carry it from time to time. But so far all the holsters I've found have been leather OWB holsters. And I just prefer appendix IWB.

Anyone got any recommendations?

G9 makes this external hollow point design - the "45 ACP +P 117 gr External Hollow Point" - that is supposed to perform as well or better than a standard hollow point on the basis that it doesn't clog or have failure to expand issues and can still be effective after going through a barrier.

I've watched some gel tests that seem to show better terminal effect, but it's not clear enough that it's more than just a gimmick.

I haven't heard of them being adopted by law enforcement or anything else that would indicate them being a significant improvement over the standard hollow point, so I'm curious what y'all think.

I’ve noticed more and more people putting tape on their concealed carry weapons.

What are your thoughts on this?

Do you approve, disapprove or not care?

How much of this can be explained by manufacturers putting lackluster grips on their pistols?

She wants a P365 X Macro and wants to a gold trigger, slide lock, and take down lever on it. It may be pleb, but it if it means she carries im all for it.

Idk, not a big deal for most, but I've been working on this with her for 5 years. I'm pretty excited. Best of all, she did this on her own as a surprise.

I’m a 5’2” woman, and my father was recently rediagnosed with cancer. Because of that, I finally took his advice and went to a shooting range, where I practiced with the G43X and other 9mm models under the guidance of a professional.

I plan to continue with additional defensive training and eventually work toward getting my license to carry. So far, the G43X comes highly recommended, and it also happens to be the one I felt most comfortable with.

I’m still a bit intimidated by the world of firearms, so I apologize if this is a dumb/beginner question.

What do all recommend to wear under your carry shirts? I have really dry skin, and it looks like it snowed on my firearm if I don't wear a tucked in t-shirt when I carry IWB.

Anyone else use this combo? I hated the clips on the certum and hated the lighttuck holster but liked the clip. Swapped them both and think I finally found the setup after many months of trial and error. Anyone else hate the T1 clips?

People have been carrying series 70 1911s for over 100 years and those aren’t drop safe.

Is drop safety an overblown topic?

Any tips, shirt blouse was flying up today in the wind and had to hold my phone against my shirt at my navel to make it look inconspicuous

Saw a little confrontation at the gym parking lot( it was quick). Bigger guy tried to hit on someone’s girlfriend/wife. The couple left the gym and big man left at the same time. Proceeded to hit on her while walking to their cars. Boyfriend, just told him to stop. Big man got mad and tried to intimidate the boyfriend. Girl is filming and the boyfriend and he keeps saying “you’re putting me in fear for my life, please back away”. Bigger guy laughed and walks away. I see the dude the next day in the gym and he says he carries. He said by saying “you’re putting me in fear of my life” that it’ll hold up better in court as self defense? Is that legit. Ik asking a lawyer would be the move. But I’m not gonna waist a lawyers time for a situation that didn’t even involve me. I’m new to Conceal carry btw

Long story short, what's a reasonable time to wait for a custom holster?

I ordered a custom holster for my USPc with a TLR-3 from Black Rhino Concealment on December 2nd of last year. It still hasn't shipped yet and I'm considering cancelling the order if it hasn't been created yet/haven't left the order queue.

I've looked at previous posts about this topic, but they were during the height of the pandemic. I know it's custom and probably only 10ish people carry this exact setup, but I also feel like at 2 months in, things should be moving along.

TIA

We're expecting again and my wife asked if she could start carrying at home. I let her. She's always carrying any point when outside the home anyway and comfortable with her different setups.

The gun craze started all of a sudden during the first pregnancy. Nothing gun related was ever brought up before that point. I bought us two cheap, reliable guns for home defense and to practice once she gave birth. She's made countless purchases since then.

We've gone around 2 times per month to our local range after the birth, stopped when we started trying again, although she still does drills in our home every single day.

I'm curious to hear if anyone has experienced anything similar.

Hey everyone,

I just picked up the S&W Bodyguard 2.0 this weekend and had a blast shooting it. It gave me some trigger finger pain, but I think that’s more about me getting used to the small trigger guard rather than the gun itself.

Now I’m looking for a solid pocket carry holster and have narrowed it down to these options:

Alabama Holster – Front Pocket Holster ($45)

Vedder Holsters – Pocket Locker ($49.99)

Muddy River Tactical – Pocket Holster ($49.99)

For those who carry the Bodyguard 2.0 in their pocket, which one would you go with and why? Any personal experiences or other recommendations?

Also, if anyone has defensive ammo choice recommendations I am all ears on that too.

Thanks in advance!

It seems like most competition shooters use smaller dots since the bigger dot might cover up too much of the target at those longer ranges.

Is this a cause for concern or no?

Any tips or suggestions on what HP rounds to carry +P or not anything helps new to the world of conceal carry been carrying Tula rounds as it’s winter in my state rn and those do better through heavy winter wear state goes through winter and summer weather so really anything helps thank you

Mods here are pussies

Just curious why it's not possible to make a 9mm as small as some of these .380's. I get they would suck to shoot, but would they technically be possible? Or is the increased powder at risk of breaking such a small pistol?

Need the lightest option available and it’s come to the Ruger LCP max or the S&W bodyguard 2.0. For me the ruger will be on my roster and about $1,000 cheaper (2.0 would have to be ppt it’s off my states roster). What is more reliable the LCP Max or the BG 2.0? How do I make the LCP Max more reliable ? UPDATE thank you all for the insight. Might stick with Glock for now
