    I learned the best lessons of carrying by simply putting in time carrying. I found out I actually enjoy carrying my Glock 19 rather than my smaller Sig P238 even with the same brand and style of holster.
    Plus, simply carrying will educate you in the long run because you learn how the experience can be better and if you're familiar with your edc, you are much more calm and confident when you need it.
    Anyway, great video with all the points touched on. Always food for thought. Keep it up good sir

      I used to carry a Kahr CM9. Concealed like a dream, but I could not get a solid grip on it from the holster tucked IWB. I decided that wasn't a good thing. Moved on to a CZ P-01, about the same size as the G19, and have never regretted the change.

But I mostly put them up just for friends to watch. I’ve only been everyday carrying 2 years now and love taking classes and training! I know you have many many years experience, I’m simply a citizen. Not law enforcement or military or a veteran. So many of my friends who have never carried daily are asking me for tips and info because they want to start. I can only offer what I can offer with my limited time with EDC. But I direct all of them (including myself) to your channel and a couple others for great info. Keep up the good work!

    There's are always good tips. I had a few other advise as well when it comes to ccw and there's a few that I can list too which are very helpful to you or newer ones
    1. Find a good holster like staded but make sure the holster covers the trigger guard very well
    2. Always always make sure you have a light on your pistol
    3. Carry a flashlight for edc off hand
    4. Spare magazines side car or individual mag pouches are both are acceptable and personal preference
    5. Stop spending money on holster find a good one within your budget
    6. Don't throw your holster out or if you find it uncomfortable with in just a few hours give a week or so to get used to it
    7. Do not do not shift or mover the holster in public go to the bathroom or a private area put in public
    8. Stop changing holster position frequently go to the range flip flop around once you find the ones that's the fastest and more customed to you stick with it
    9. Carry a round in the chamber, yes I understand the fear of it going off for new shooters go to the ranger and test out multiple draws the only way you are going to shoot yourself is you pullin5the trigger or something activates the safety of the firearm, clothing lint, and finger on the trigger when draw is mostly the case
    10. Also go to training classes for ccw and self defense, just because you finished a beginners course doesn't mean that you are going to be an avid shooter, take an advanced classes and see where you lie, don't feel confident train more.
    11. Train and always have fun on the range with your pals and a bad day on the range is always a good day on the range

      You get a thumb up. But I disagree with #2. Perhaps mentioning that a light on your EDC could be a good idea, but I wouldn't be so firm as to make it an absolute. Some may not want the extra bulk/weight or may not want to pay the extra for a holster that will accommodate the light.
      And #9. I would say keep wearing and keep practicing so that one day, the individual will feel comfortable enough to make that decision on their own.
      But your list definitely has some great recommendations. Hope to see you on the range some day.

    I’ve asked for guidance on your website a few times and you graciously answered each one. Thank you for that.
    The suggestion is to always get trained. In my area quality instruction without the warrior ego is difficult to find. I’ve tried most locally.
    Lastly, recently I stopped carrying. I’m 75 and in reasonably good shape. I shoot 3-5 days a week with a planned goal each shoot.
    Being older and living in a blue state, I’d rather be shot dead than spend my aging years worrying about the injustice system here and if I’m going home again or not based on a prosecutor.

    Great video. First, let me say I always carry my G19 with one in the chamber. However, if someone is not comfortable carrying with one in the chamber, I'd never discourage them from carrying. Yes, in your example about being in a ground fight/ struggle it's hard enough getting your gun out, never mind then having to rack your slide. I totally agree with you. I would argue that a regular individual also has a very good chance of shooting themself while trying to take their gun out in a ground fight. How did you get in a ground fight to begin with. Situational awareness is the first thing someone should be come proficient with. If I was in a ground fight, I would reach for my fixed blade and not my gun. The unfortunate reality is 99.9 percent of people will never be able to or want to train as much as you do. I love your videos, keep them coming.

I told him if he had room for that the ladies would assume he had nothing else to offer. Another gal that was one of my customers would never train. Said she didn’t have time and when asked about it said I will just keep shooting till I finally hit them. I just told her you can’t miss fast enough to win a gunfight. She just looked confused.

    Good points, all of them. For me, the answer to ongoing training is competitive shooting; IDPA, USPSA and the like. Not only do you work on speed and accuracy, but decision making as well. The best class and the best trainer can only impart skills. Those skills have to be practiced regularly and tested. IDPA uses "no shoot" targets as well as moving targets. Regular participation in competitive shooting keeps skills sharp and helps you improve over time.

    Holster companies that I have had good results from are Harry's Holsters and Vedder Holsters. I find the Harry's a little more comfortable, but the pistol models they cover are more limited. Vedder has a MUCH broader range of pistols covered, and are almost as comfortable, what I wear for my normal EDC. As of now, both are sub *100, and I feel are very high value for the price.

When I’m in pain, I try to make that area hurt more so the next time it flares up it won’t be such a burden to deal with the pain. In the training I’ve had, the times I missed something and seen they had a clear shot and I’d be dead are what stick with me the most. My wife tells me all the time that I’m to hard on myself and that I underestimate my abilities but i just keep telling her, you won’t understand until you’ve lived it or have put your life on the line to help another.

    I did the crappy holster first but it came with my Springfield XD-e. It did its purpose just as that Springfield did. But once I got rid of my XD-e for my 229 Legion I had a Tier1 waiting for it. There is no reason to cheap out on a holster with how much we spend on everything else involved in the hobby. I will say one big thing I've learned is belt choice is important as well. My Kore nylon strap style belt was great at first but its too stiff all day at work. Once I got their leather version it was way more comfortable. I'm just not sure if it'll take the same beating as the nylon version. On pistol size carrying the 229 all winter as I got it on a black friday special. Has been comfertable and easily managable, Inside the waist band with a hoodie or baggy shirt with no printing. Or on the hip with a light jacket. But come summer time I might be looking at a 365 Legion. I can easily conceal, but it requires alot of effort on clothing choices. So yes consider your pistol size.

      This is worth paying attention to and it makes it quite clear that carrying a weapon all day everyday is serious business and should be taken as such,because how much is involved in carry conceal isn’t for me.
      My hats off to those that choose to do this but I find it to be much more of a hassle
      Than it’s worth especially within the law and responsibility for every shard of a round that does damage outside of the scope of the confrontation your dealing with.
      Not to mention one simple thing-you can be 100% in the right but using lethal force will never leave your mind and you’ll never be able to get that image out of your head.

    Excellent video Mike. I just want to throw in a couple of value options for newbies to CC on a tight budget. I have had great luck with Bravo Concealment holsters, especially the IWB but you have to get the wing. For less than $40 and it checks all the blocks you mentioned. And 5.11 gear belts, even their cheap like $15 belt works well. I use both of these to CC back and forth to duty shift with a full size M&P with optic and TLR-1. For less than $60 its a hard to veat combo. Sorry, not trying to hijack your post, just trying to help those on toght budget

    Only thing I can think of that wasn’t mentioned is, make sure you have at least one extra mag on you while you carry. Shit happens and it’s easier to reload than it is to tap rack and find out it’s still jammed or something. Plus, mo bullets is always mo betta 😅

    • @Timmy2Tough
      @Timmy2Tough Před 3 měsíci

      Instead of carrying an extra mag buy OEM mags, vet them with 200 FMJ and at least 2 mags of your defensive ammo while loading a full mag +1 as you carry - then no longer use those mags for the range so you do not wear the spring out.
      Keep your gun clean, lubed, and maintained as should.
      Always establish a proper grip on your gun so it becomes natural.
      Then you do not need an extra mag because your gun will run as intended.
      Those issues will alleviate almost any malfunction mag related that an extra would “solve” and if you’re carrying the high capacity gun you comfortably can carry - you’re good.
      The fight is over when the first person runs out of ammo in their gun - there is no reloading. If you have to mag swap to clear a malfunction the attacker will either flee then or you’re dead. The only time citizens reload is after the fight to top off incase something else jumps off.

      @@Timmy2Tough not all attacks are one on one or within arms reach. I will always carry an extra mag just for extra assholes. It’s not always bang, your dead, I win…… how many videos have you seen with cops reloading behind cover and then returning more fire to the bad guys? High stress situations don’t wait for you go through all the steps of proper grip and sight alignment and all that. Sometimes it an oh shit situation and you end up dumping your first mag from adrenaline. Mo ammo will always be mo better 👍🏻

      It is definitely not easier to reload than to tap and rack the slide. It takes even the best shooters in the world an extra second or two to do a reload. And most people are not as skilled with reloads under stress as top level competitors. I suggest watching active self protection’s videos on whether or not it’s necessary for civilians to carry spare mags. He has the most common-sense and data-driven opinion on that topic, in my opinion.

    The ratcheting type belts can suck if you are crawling around under a vehicle. They can get squished as you roll around and tighten themselves. Then you stand up and it's way too tight.
