Frequently Asked Questions

What makes certain everyday carry (EDC) guns worthless today?

Many EDC guns become worthless due to becoming obsolete, suffering from significant reliability issues like jamming or failure to cycle ammunition, having poor ergonomics, or being superseded by modern designs that offer superior performance and features.

Why is the Beretta Nano considered a bad EDC choice?

The Beretta Nano is criticized for being top-heavy, picky about ammunition, having a high bore axis that increases felt recoil, a long trigger pull, and struggling to reliably cycle common 115-grain range ammo, making it frustrating and expensive to train with.

What were the main problems with the Taurus Curve pistol?

The Taurus Curve's main issues included a failed gimmick design for concealment, a lack of standard sights (using a painted crosshair), terrible ergonomics that made it awkward to hold and aim, and it has been officially discontinued.

Are older Springfield XDS models still recommended for concealed carry?

No, the original Springfield XDS Gen 1 is not recommended due to a major recall for defects causing unintended firing. Newer models and competitors offer better capacity and safety in the same footprint.
