Frequently Asked Questions

What are the speaker's preferred calibers for carrying?

The speaker primarily carries a .45 ACP or a 10mm. While he owns many 9mm firearms for reviews and because the ammo is cheap, he rarely carries them, preferring larger calibers for personal defense.

What are the speaker's thoughts on 10mm ammunition and recoil?

The speaker finds 10mm recoil to be very manageable and not as significant as often portrayed. He believes it's a highly effective round for self-defense and stopping power, especially against large threats like bears.

What are the key differences between 1791 Gunleather and Urban Carry holsters?

The speaker notes that Urban Carry holsters have retention features, while 1791 Gunleather holsters do not. He hasn't seen other leather holsters with retention comparable to Urban Carry, suggesting thumb breaks as the only alternative, which he finds problematic.

Why does the speaker prefer building AR-15s over buying them?

The speaker prefers building AR-15s for the extensive customization options, allowing him to select specific components like triggers and receivers to match his preferences. He believes it's about having exactly what you want, not just cost savings.

What is the speaker's opinion on the Glock 20?

The speaker considers the Glock 20 to be the best 10mm handgun ever made. He finds its magazines easy to load and its recoil manageable, making it a favorite for both himself and his wife.
