Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'junk safety' technique for appendix carry?

The 'junk safety' technique involves placing your thumb on the hammer of a hammer-fired pistol while holstering. This allows you to feel if any fabric or obstruction snags the trigger, preventing an accidental discharge and ensuring safe re-holstering.

Why is practicing at 50 yards important for a carry gun?

Practicing at 50 yards builds significant proficiency and confidence. This increased skill under less stress translates directly to better accuracy and control when engaging targets at closer, more critical self-defense distances under duress.

How can I improve my handgun skills with limited range access?

You can significantly improve your skills through consistent dry-fire practice at home. Focus on fundamental drills like drawing, presenting the firearm, sight alignment, trigger control, and magazine changes to build crucial muscle memory without live ammunition.

What are the benefits of a DA/SA trigger system for carry?

A DA/SA trigger system offers a safety advantage for carry due to the long, heavy double-action pull on the first shot, reducing the risk of accidental discharge. It also provides a lighter, crisper single-action pull for subsequent shots, aiding accuracy.
