'Gen 1' concealed carry guns, like the Walther PPS M2, are typically single-stack, thin, and highly concealable but have low capacity. 'Gen 2' guns, such as the SIG P365, offer higher capacity in similar or smaller sizes, representing a significant advancement in micro-compact pistol technology.

Why does the instructor recommend using only OEM magazines on carry guns?

The instructor emphasizes using only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) magazines for carry guns because they are considered the most reliable. He views magazines as wear items that can fail and advises against aftermarket modifications like trigger jobs or magazine extensions on primary defensive firearms.
