Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of a truck gun loadout?

A truck gun loadout serves as a secondary, more capable weapon system than a concealed carry handgun. Its purpose is to increase combat power for specific emergency scenarios where a handgun is insufficient, such as engaging threats at distance or during widespread civil unrest.

What type of handgun is recommended for a truck gun setup?

A duty-grade handgun like the Glock 19X is recommended for its reliability and ergonomics. It should be carried in a Level 3 retention holster to ensure it remains securely attached to the person, even during vehicle movement or dynamic situations.

Why is a 20-inch barrel rifle preferred for a truck gun?

A 20-inch barrel rifle, such as the PSA Saber discussed, offers a good balance for truck gun applications. It provides sufficient reach for longer engagements, is compatible with magnified optics like ACOGs, and remains manageable in weight compared to shorter-barreled rifles that are less effective at distance.

What are the key components of a truck gun loadout beyond firearms?

Beyond firearms, a truck gun loadout requires essential supporting equipment. This includes multiple magazines for both primary and secondary weapons, a comprehensive medical kit, body armor with plates, a ballistic helmet, and a secure way to carry it all, like a tactical belt and plate carrier.
