Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary advantage of a carry rotation for EDC?

A carry rotation allows individuals to select a firearm that best suits their comfort level and the specific environment or location they will be in. This flexibility ensures better concealability and practicality compared to relying on a single, potentially ill-suited, carry gun.

What type of ammunition is recommended for winter carry with heavy clothing layers?

For winter carry, especially when wearing multiple layers of thick clothing, solid projectile ammunition is recommended. This type of round is designed for deeper penetration, ensuring it can effectively reach its target through heavy fabrics.

How can a Glock 26 be made to hold more rounds?

A Glock 26 can achieve Glock 19 capacity by using an x-grip extension. This accessory allows a Glock 19 magazine to be used with the Glock 26, providing a capacity of 15+1 rounds while maintaining a relatively compact and ergonomic firearm.

What makes the Glock 27 a good choice for winter carry?

The Glock 27, particularly the Gen 5 model, is favored for winter carry due to its compact size and the potential for flatter shooting, especially when fitted with a 9mm conversion barrel. Its thicker slide contributes to reduced recoil, making it a more manageable platform.
