This podcast episode, "It's Too Hot to Carry!", features Guns Magazine editor Brent Wheat and American Handgunner editor Tom McJunkin discussing strategies for carrying firearms during hot weather. They advocate for carrying full-size handguns year-round, emphasizing that grip size, not barrel length, is the primary concealment challenge. The discussion also covers practical considerations like gun finishes, holster materials (Kydex vs. leather), and various off-body carry methods such as fanny packs, chest packs, and sling bags, all while stressing the importance of situational awareness.
