Yes, there’s a GLOCK 17 and a Spyderco knife in this EDC. More interestingly there is also a 26-inch telescopic “self-defense stick” in there as well. Now, American president Andrew Jackson did once beat the crap out of a would-be assassin with his cane which is an awesome piece of history but…still. Who here carries […]

This makes the first GLOCK 19X carry I’ve seen. It comes from John in Tennessee who says he’s a school counselor (he also said he recently updated his EDC). He has both a weapon-mounted Olight and a handheld Olight. Nice to see both rather than only one or the other. Any other 19X carriers out there?

A GLOCK 19 with an Inforce APLc weapon-mounted light is the focal point of this pocket dump. Lights are a bit of a hot debate topic when it comes to weapon-mounted versus handheld, so, what do you think?

I like FN. I do not like the FN SCAR. But I like the FN SCAR 20S. A lot. People are complex that way. The FN SCAR 20S is the latest in a long and fabled line of battle rifles. FN can rightly call themselves “The World’s Most Battle Proven Firearms.” It was only a […]

This one comes from a guy giving his name using a Latin phrase – nonquam non paratus – which roughly translates to “never unprepared.” He says, “I had a request for a photo of the holster I carry my Glock 19 / INFORCE APLc combo in. But I thought that would be boring by itself… […]

We’ve all been there. Something’s taking up space in the back of the safe that hasn’t been fired in a long time. It’s just collecting dust and could be used as trade fodder or liquidated for something better. Or you need the cash to fix the car or pay the kid’s tuition bill. But in […]

Cole Robison of South Carolina says these are “just the basics, out for dinner or running errands.” His EDC includes a Springfield XD-S, an Olight, and a Benchmade knife. The XD-S has Night Fision brand tritium night sights on it which leads to my predictable question: night sights on carry guns, yay or nay? If […]

Today’s pocket dump comes from Dee in Florida who calls this his “slim carry.” It includes a color-filled Shield and a Kershaw Cryo II with a paracord lanyard attached. I’m torn whether to ask about lanyards on knives or color-fill so I’ll let you guys decide what to debate. Have at it.

From thenepalherald.com: The highest rate of fire for a machine gun in service is the M134 Minigun. The weapon was designed in the late 1960s for helicopters and armored vehicles. It fires 7.62 mm calibre rounds at a blistering rate of 6,000 rounds per minute, or 100 rounds per second — about ten times that […]

This pocket dump leads me to ask a question about what kind of real estate your EDC takes up on your belt. The pictured GLOCK 19 with a threaded barrel, GCode holster, and Black Point Kydex magazine holster belong to Felix, who says he is a contractor. The magazine holster specifically is broad and, since […]

This holster hack from Melody Lauer is a favorite of mine and a must-share. If you carry AIWB, give it a try. Give the Keepers’ Errand holster a look, too. Spencer Keepers is The Man for AIWB holsters and skills. “I have awesome ear pro! The muffs aren’t foam padded they are gel padded and […]

Today’s EDC includes a GLOCK 19 in an Alien Gear Modular Holster. The GLOCK 19 is nothing short of a classic – who among us doesn’t own at least one? – and the hybrid holster, well, that bears discussing. Food for thought: when comparing the different holster material options such as leather, Kydex, and hybrids, […]

So…you want a black rifle to make some pews with, leading you to consider an AR-10 vs. AR-15. But you hear that one of the two flavors of ArmaLite Rifle (because that’s what “AR” stands for, after all) is better than the other. What, pray tell, is a person to do? Get both…duh. We HAVE […]

Hello, my name is Kat and I am a trigger snob. It’s true. After years of using all manner of triggers in every platform imaginable I’ve developed the kind of tastes that drain wallets and involve occasional grumbling – okay, cursing – at grit and stacking (no matter how slight). Earlier today it was a […]

A mechanical engineer located somewhere in the United States submitted this pocket dump that includes a Ghost Tactical 1911. GhostGuns.com sells a wide variety of build parts for everything from ARs to GLOCKs to 1911s. The owner of this particular build put a threaded barrel on his 1911 which makes me wonder if he has […]

What’s the difference between 5.56mm NATO and .223 Remington, anyhow? The rounds are supposed to be interchangeable…kinda/sorta/maybe…right? The difference in the round itself: the NATO round is a little hotter. The case is the same size, but the powder charge, projectile and also rifle specifications differ. As a result, make sure to check your AR-15 […]

John Correia gave some stellar commentary on the Pittsburgh murders earlier this week including his reasons for following the 72-hour rule and why we should not name the killers in these cases. Watch the Active Self Protection video below:

Today’s pocket dump features a Heckler and Koch USP stainless with a DeSantis holster and a Benchmade blade. Instead of focusing on the gun, here’s a question for you guys: what holster do you use and why? Do you use a soft holster or a molded holster, one with serious retention, a holster with a […]

Over the past five months I spent a good bit of time with Riton Optics’ RT-S Mod 3 Gen2 1-4×24/IR Scope, a great optic with notably clear glass and fantastic value. The setup has yet to let me down, but not all the credit is due to the scope, of course. Without a good mount, […]

This pocket dump features a SIG P239 with custom grips, a titanium pen, and a Rebel Vape DNA and a SQuape Emotion RTA. He also has a couple mags pictured; its always good to see spare mag carry. Although it’s common to see people claiming it’s ridiculous to carry a spare mag because you’re so […]
