Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the Yankee Marshal previously advise against carrying 10mm Auto for everyday concealed carry?

The primary reasons were the high cost of practice ammunition, making proficiency difficult to maintain, and a limited selection of suitable firearms, particularly in popular polymer-framed designs. Most available options were expensive 1911s or Sig Sauers.

What has changed to make 10mm Auto a recommended caliber for concealed carry?

The market has seen a significant increase in 10mm firearm options, including more affordable 1911s and a wide array of polymer pistols. Ammunition costs, while still higher, are now more competitive relative to other calibers due to overall price increases.

What are the best types of firearms for carrying 10mm Auto for self-defense?

The speaker now highly recommends polymer-framed pistols chambered in 10mm Auto for concealed carry. For revolvers, he still prefers .357 Magnum, viewing 10mm revolvers as less optimal choices.

Should you carry a firearm when on vacation, even to seemingly safe destinations?

Yes, the speaker strongly advises always carrying a firearm on vacation. Criminals target vacation areas due to easier escape, and personal safety is a responsibility that cannot be left behind, regardless of location.
