Frequently Asked Questions

What are three recommended firearms for everyday carry (EDC)?

SPN Firearms recommends the Glock 42 for its pocket-carry suitability, the Springfield Hellcat for its high capacity in a compact size, and the S&W M&P Shield M2.0 as a powerful option for 'work carry' scenarios.

How does magazine choice affect EDC firearm selection?

For pocket carry and deep concealment, flush-fit magazines (like the 11-rounders for the Hellcat) are ideal. Extended magazines (13 or 15 rounds) offer more capacity when concealment is less critical or for backup purposes.

What are the advantages of the Glock 42 for EDC?

The Glock 42 is highlighted for its small size, light weight, accuracy, and ease of shooting, making it exceptionally comfortable and practical for pocket carry throughout the day.

Can the S&W M&P Shield M2.0 be adapted for different carry needs?

Yes, the S&W M&P Shield M2.0 is presented as a versatile option, particularly when converted to calibers like .357 Sig from its original .40 S&W. This makes it a powerful and manageable choice for demanding 'work carry' situations.
