Frequently Asked Questions

How does fall weather affect everyday carry (EDC) firearm choices?

Fall weather, with its cooler temperatures, allows for the use of heavier clothing like jackets and sweatshirts. These layers provide more concealment, making it easier to carry larger firearms that might be difficult to hide during warmer months with lighter attire.

Why is it beneficial to carry a larger firearm in the fall?

Larger firearms are generally easier to shoot accurately due to a better grip, more leverage for recoil management, and often better sights and longer barrels. The increased concealment offered by fall clothing makes these more shootable platforms a viable EDC option.

How can a weapon-mounted light improve concealed carry in the fall?

A weapon-mounted light, like the TLR-7A, can aid concealment, especially with appendix carry. Its bulk can push the firearm closer to the body, reducing printing. Additionally, as days get shorter, a light is crucial for identifying threats in low-light conditions.

What is the most important training adjustment for fall concealed carry?

The most critical adjustment is practicing drawing your firearm with the heavier clothing you'll be wearing. This ensures you can effectively clear layers like sweatshirts and jackets without snagging, maintaining efficient access to your weapon.
