Belt loops are often overlooked

This video demonstrates essential cold-weather concealed carry techniques from GBRS Group. An experienced instructor showcases a rapid draw from under a jacket, target engagement, and a tactical reload using a pocket-carried spare magazine, highlighting the efficiency of Nemo magnetic magazines. The guide emphasizes situational assessment post-engagement and efficient reloads for continued threat mitigation.

This expert-level guide from Tenicor demonstrates how specific holster features can significantly improve concealed carry by mitigating 'printing.' The instructor explains that even small firearms can be visible through clothing, but features like a 'wing,' 'claw,' or 'camming bar' on a holster use the belt to rotate the grip inward, enhancing concealment. This technique is crucial for anyone looking to carry a firearm discreetly.

This video highlights the overwhelming popularity and widespread use of 9mm ammunition across civilian, law enforcement, and military sectors. It warns of the significant supply chain risks associated with this over-reliance, particularly in scenarios of war escalation or widespread demand. The speaker, demonstrating significant expertise in firearm market trends and historical supply issues, strongly advises diversifying firearm calibers to mitigate potential future shortages and price spikes.

This video showcases the unique capability of firing .410 shotgun shells from a handgun, specifically a large-frame revolver resembling the Taurus Judge. The presenter demonstrates loading .410 shells into the cylinder, highlighting the compact power of this configuration. The content emphasizes the novelty and potential applications of such a firearm, drawing a comparison between .410 in a long gun versus a handgun.

This video, presented by CajunBoyJake, argues against carrying firearms unchambered, highlighting the critical time disadvantage and the negative impact of adrenaline on fine motor skills during a high-stress event. The instructor emphasizes that modern firearms possess sufficient passive safeties for chambered carry and that proper training is the key to safe and effective self-defense, not avoiding a chambered round. Carrying unchambered creates a false sense of security and leaves the user less prepared.

This video provides an overview of a customized Glock 43X MOS, highlighting its configuration for concealed carry with an EPS Carry optic, Radian Afterburner compensator, TLR-7 SUB light, and Shield Arms magazines. The speaker demonstrates its shooting performance and specifically explains the function of a compensator in managing muzzle rise, differentiating it from recoil reduction. A full review is teased for future release.

This video demonstrates an advanced self-defense technique for surviving an armed robbery. The expert instructor highlights the importance of de-escalation and compliance as a distraction, followed by a rapid defensive counter-draw from a concealed appendix (AIWB) position. The simulation showcases neutralizing a threat at close range using a concealed firearm, likely in a Glock platform, emphasizing the effectiveness of a well-executed draw from a high-retention holster like those from Tenicor.

New concealed carriers often make critical mistakes like choosing inadequate holsters or belts, wearing inappropriate clothing, opting for guns that are too small, and carrying with an empty chamber. Selecting a secure, comfortable holster and a supportive belt are crucial. Clothing should allow for a smooth draw without printing. Prioritizing shootability and capacity over extreme concealability is key, and carrying with a round in the chamber, once training allows, enhances readiness.

This video debunks the myth that appendix carry is inherently unsafe, drawing on 25 years of personal experience. It emphasizes proper technique, particularly during reholstering, and highlights the benefits of appendix carry like accessibility and concealability. The presenter details safe reholstering methods, including using a muzzle wedge and body tilt, and discusses the importance of a strong safety mindset over rote rules.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of the four universal firearms handling rules, stating they are 'written in blood' and not suggestions. It details each rule: always treat guns as loaded, never point at anything you're not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until sights are on target, and be sure of your target and what's beyond it. The content also distinguishes universal rules from range-specific protocols and introduces gun states (secure, ready, on target).
