Most New Gun Gear Is Solving Fake Problems

The Blade-Tech Valour holster offers a versatile solution for various Glock models, including the 19, 17 Gen 3, and 17L. It features a Level 2 retention system and is compatible with weapon-mounted lights like the Surefire X300. This holster aims to reduce the need for multiple specialized holsters for different carry styles.

This video from Regular Guy Training LLC explores the reliability of the Beretta 92 series handguns, particularly in challenging conditions. The instructor, demonstrating experienced authority, highlights how the 92 series performs better than Glocks with underpowered ammunition and in adverse weather like rain, wind, snow, or mud. Testing also involved using worn magazines, some beyond their service life, to further stress-test the firearms.

This guide, presented by a Tenicor representative, details the correct technique for using Discrete Carry Concepts (DCC) clips on IWB/AIWB holsters. It emphasizes using leverage via a pivot point on the firearm with the heel of the hand, rather than brute force, to install and remove the holster. This method addresses common user complaints about DCC clips being too stiff, framing the difficulty as a solvable skill issue.

This short video highlights X-Tech as a dominant force in the Glock aftermarket magazine sector. It announces an upcoming, more in-depth video that will comprehensively review X-Tech Glock magazines for the G17, G19, and G43 models, along with their extensions and accessories. The content aims to demonstrate the superiority of X-Tech magazines compared to OEM Glock offerings, providing valuable information for Glock owners looking to upgrade their magazines.

Instructor Mike, a professional firearms instructor, highlights the critical security risks associated with standard holsters that offer poor retention. He demonstrates how easily these can be compromised by an attacker. The video introduces the Gun & Flower Universal Holster as a solution, featuring adjustable retention blocks for a precise fit and a Level 2 retention mechanism requiring an index finger release. This significantly enhances security, preventing unauthorized draws, as illustrated by a real-world incident where a security guard lost his firearm due to a less secure holster.

This discussion from CF Clips delves into the modularity debate surrounding firearms, specifically contrasting FCU-based systems with fixed-frame designs like the Glock. Hosts analyze the ergonomic improvements of newer grip modules while weighing the inherent reliability of established platforms against the customization potential of modular systems.

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).
