Frequently Asked Questions

What are the top 5 mistakes to avoid with a carry gun?

Avoid cosmetic modifications like custom backplates, refrain from showing your gun to others, use only OEM magazines, always carry in a quality holster, and rigorously test your defensive ammunition in your specific firearm for reliability.

Why should I avoid aftermarket magazine extensions on my carry gun?

Aftermarket magazine extensions can potentially decrease the reliability of your firearm. Sticking to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) magazines is recommended by experts to ensure maximum reliability during critical situations.

Is it safe to modify my carry gun's trigger?

Modifying your carry gun's trigger, especially lightening it, is generally advised against for carry purposes. Such modifications can negatively impact legal perceptions if the firearm is used in self-defense and may affect reliability.

How important is testing defensive ammunition for a carry gun?

Testing your defensive ammunition (like hollow points) in your specific carry firearm is crucial. Not all ammunition cycles reliably in every gun, and failure to test can lead to malfunctions when you need your firearm most.
