Tessah Booth demonstrates a practical approach to storing an AR-15 style rifle for both home and remote campsite defense. The rifle, equipped with essential accessories like a suppressor and weapon light, is stored unchambered with the safety engaged for quick and safe access within a truck bed camper. This setup prioritizes immediate availability without compromising safety in potentially vulnerable environments.

Tessah Booth details her transition from Glock 42 and 48 to the SIG P365X for concealed carry, prioritizing capacity and optic readiness. She found the P365X offered a better balance of size and features for her 5'0", 110lb frame compared to the larger Glock 48 and the P365XL. The P365X's factory-milled slide for optics and modular grip options were key decision factors.

Tessah Booth initially found the Sig Sauer P365 disappointing compared to the Glock 48, especially for her smaller hands. However, through customization and dedicated practice like dry fire and range work, she has adapted to its 'snappy' 9mm recoil. The P365 is now meeting her concealed carry needs, highlighting the importance of adjusting to different firearm platforms.

Tessah Booth explains why she no longer recommends sidecar holsters, citing issues with concealment mechanics, durability under stress, and value compared to independent systems. While sidecars offer integrated magazine carriers, their rigid, wide design can hinder concealment by resisting body contours. The stress points in their construction can also lead to premature failure. Booth suggests independent holsters and mag carriers offer better versatility and durability for the price.
