Reader Comments of the Week
“Love my .45 Cal., HOWEVER, I would defer to the .50 Cal in this case, belt fed, with extra barrels, and lots and lots of ammo, just in case!!!”
– CHARLES, in response to Best Calibers for Dinosaurs
“I retired after 32 years with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. As a Sergeant, I would always go to dangerous, critical, rapidly evolving situations. I completely agree with all the five carry items. I too carry a concealed block with two extra magazines. I carry a tactical knife that has a blade, seatbelt cutter, and a glass breaker. A small flashlight is a must, mine has three modes. One of the modes is an SOS mode. As a habit, I always have a handcuff key in my coin pocket just in case. I don’t smoke, but I too carry a small lighter in my pocket to be able to start a fire if I needed to. Because I was law enforcement, I carry a very small can of OC spray in my pocket too. The last two things I carry are just as important. A small RAT Tourniquet (Rapid Application Tourniquet ) and a handkerchief for first aid. I know you might think this is a lot of bull carrying all this stuff, but I do. My wife laughs at me because I’m supposed to be retired, but I would rather have it and not need it than to not carry it and wised I did. I think most people carry a cell phone. You should look up your local PD and put that number in your cell phone too. I input every PD in the county I live to avoid the delay in calling 911.”
– JOE, in response to Concealed Carry Gear: 5 Essentials
“My everyday off duty carry is my Springfield Armory XD 40 with a 4″ barrel. I use Mecgar 13 rd mags. I do 13 + 1 for my first load. The grip is not too wide, not to small. It has good purchase. I did put on Tritium Night sights. I carry it in a DeSantis Speed Scabbard when in casual clothes: I use a Galco Miami Classic when in a suit, gives me easy access and less people are aware I’m carrying; and sometimes IWB Galco King Tuk. Works well. Using any of the three I can access and engage quickly. I practice with each holster to help with muscle memory retention. I use Hornady Critical Duty as opposed to Critical Defense. I only use my Glock 19 for duty use since that is what we are required to carry. Not my favorite.”
– RONALD, in response to If I Could Only Have One: Pistol Edition
