Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important factor when choosing a concealed carry firearm?

While comfort is important, the speaker emphasizes that a positive grip and better shootability from a slightly larger firearm can significantly improve your proficiency and effectiveness in a self-defense situation.

Should I upgrade my concealed carry firearm's trigger and sights?

No, not initially. The speaker advises training with a stock firearm for at least a year to master fundamentals. Upgrades cannot replace training and can be a costly distraction for new carriers.

Why is rotating concealed carry ammunition important?

Repeatedly chambering the same round can cause 'bullet setback,' pushing the projectile deeper into the casing, which may lead to malfunctions. Also, sweat and moisture can degrade ammo in spare magazines.

What kind of belt is best for concealed carry?

A sturdy, specialized gun belt is crucial. Options like Kore Essentials (ratcheting) or the Hunter Constantine/Tier 1 Concealed belt offer superior support compared to flimsy standard belts.
