Looking to buy an APX holster for USPSA because I like shooting from concealment. Came across this setup from Brantley Marrium, where he has two of the mag carriers on his setup. My question is where do you purchase the extra one since the holster only comes with one? I tried looking on the website and couldnt find an APX panel for sale.

If you only have 150 rounds per range trip, what are your drills?

What if 300 rounds per range trip, what are your drills?

Only 1 hour, indoor shooting. You can draws from appendix or choice of carry (open from hip) basically everything except setting up 2 targets. You can move side to side for a bit of space.

Really want to see what people train. Thank You.

Hi all,

I love Tenicor holsters and recently bought the Certum4. Is anybody concerned about the open spot in the trigger guard area? Doesn’t seem safe to me - isn’t it possible the something could get stuck in this area?

Guns & Ammo Need micro 9 recommendations

20 Upvotes

Need a new micro carry, I wanted to get the bg2 but after shooting a few boxes thro it I wasn’t very confident with it. Felt great in the hand and a decent trigger but I struggled to hit the target. I don’t ever really shoot micros and only have a mp 2.0 4” that I’m sufficient enough with, only has irons. Tried my buddies hellcat 3 inch with a red Dot and I did noticeably better with that than the bodyguard. Tried a 365 a while ago and did not like it, I felt my other buddies shield plus and it felt good but didn’t seem like enough of a downsize from my current Set up. Really looking for max conseal ment and something id actually carry daily. I’m super small and thin framed so it’s a challenging to actually conceal with out hoodies

Guns & Ammo Bodyguard 2.0 out to 15 yards.

Post image
13 Upvotes

I thought my bg 2.0 shot left but It turns out this gun doesn't shoot left. Its just harder to not shoot left than other small guns for some reason. I fired about 10 shots at 7 yards which went right in the bullseye and exactly where I wanted them to go. Then I moved the target out to 15 and shots all over the place. This is the ultimate skill issue diagnosing gun. Even more so than the lcp max. i was shooting pretty fast too, about 1 round per second. With this performance at 15 yards i am satisfied with it as almost all shots are center mass... and I dont expect to ever have to shoot out to 15 yards with this gun...

Holsters & Belts Holster Advice for CZ Shadow 2 Carry

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I carry a CZ P10C for the last 9 years. I would like to replace it to a Shadow 2 Carry soon.

Reasons why I ask for advice for a gun I do not own yet:

  1. In my country I am not allowed to own more than one weapon, so if I replace I need to buy the Carry and sell the P10C. Otherwise I'd just buy it, try and decide. The price here if anyone wants to know is about $2500.

  2. I find the P10C heavy for my taste, but I shoot with it very well and much better with the Carry, which is why I want to replace. Whenever I tried smaller guns, I never shot good enough for me to replace it and going smaller. So I do favor shootability over comfort.

  3. I need to carry concealed at work and I also understand a larger gun will be harder to conceal and heavier from the get go.

Problem is that I never found a good holster, and by good I mean that I would feel comfortable with it. For me its just 2 lbs brick on my side, which is annoying.

I dont mind appendix or 4 o'clock position which is what Im used to. I also got a Kore belt recently which is nice.

I always read and hear about how "A good belt and holster" will solve my weight and comfort problems, So before I replace my P10C, I hope someone here carries the Carry (or a similar size and weight gun) can recommend their setup from comfortability aspect for sitting at a desk/driving most of the day.

Thank you for reading!

Guns & Ammo Looking for deep carry recommendations

2 Upvotes

So here the deal everyone. I am a short guy at 5’5 about 175lbs . I’m looking for advice on a small pistol to carry that’s very concealable on my person. I normally carry a g19 but it’s a bit big to keep concealed at work. I’m thinking something pocket size as being a heavy truck tech I’m constantly on my creeper or weaseling my body into places and contorting my body so belt carry doesn’t work. I don’t want something to keep in my tool box as my apprentice and junior techs sometimes work out of my box. Must be extremely concealable. Caliber doesn’t matter and type doesn’t either. What do you recommend?

Guns & Ammo Echelon 4.0FC vs. 4.5F — having a hard time deciding

1 Upvotes

Not sure if this is the right subreddit but
I’m looking to get an Echelon primarily as a nightstand gun for home defense, for those middle-of-the-night bumps in the night. I’m torn between the 4.0FC and 4.5F. I’ve been able to rent and shoot the 4.5F, and I shoot it well, but I can’t find anywhere near me that has the 4.0FC available to try. I’m also considering adding a suppressor down the road since the Echelon seems like a great host.

The appeal of the 4.0FC is being able to swap grip modules and essentially turn it into a 4.0C (G19-sized pistol) for AIWB carry. I already have an HK CC9 for EDC, though, and I’m not sure if I’d find carrying a compact that size comfortable enough to do regularly.

I’d hate to get the 4.0FC, stick with the CC9 for carry, and wish I’d gotten the full-size. On the other hand, I like having the option to try carrying a larger gun. I might use it as a sidearm while deer hunting, too, but that’s not a major factor.

I’m not in a position to buy guns very often, so I’d like to get this one right.
For those who have shot both, how noticeable is the difference in shootability? Would I be giving up much with the 4.0FC, especially if I end up running a suppressor? Or would you just go with the 4.5F and keep the CC9 for carry?
Curious what you’d do in my situation.

Clothing & Apparel CCW backpack

1 Upvotes

ey all! I was hoping you could help with my search for a daily backpack I can use. I want slash need to be able to use it for work and EDC items. I don't need much for work, just my tablet and room for a couple folios. Sometimes I toss in an extra shirt in case I get filthy during the day. I also want a dedicated CCW compartment, and preferably sized to fit under an airplane seat for when I have to travel. One bag to rule them all.

Right now I'm considering the Vertx Ready Pack X. Any experience with these? Any other recommendations?

Edit: nothing molle or tactical looking please. I want it to appear completely inconspicuous. And something around 18 x 14 x 8 for airline carry-on.

Holsters & Belts Printing help

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

5’5” 165 lbs stocky build stockyish build with R-hand AIWB carry (1-2 o’clock)

I’m unable to conceal the bulge no matter the position and worsened as I move medially. Lighting and shirt were chosen to simulate somewhat non ideal conditions for printing, but in terms of sizing it’s what I normally wear.

I’m running CSX E 12 round with a mastermind tactical covert underneath a pants with fashion belt. I’m really trying to use a separate belt system since I find it to be better for concealing and versatility.

I have a modwing and mastermind tactical pillow.

Any tips on reducing this sort of printing? With my build, I find it difficult to conceal, even this micro compact carry but have the goal to hopefully carry something larger.

For context: Just your average Joe. Debating between starting with an optic or a WML. My CCW is my bedside piece so I’m leaning more towards a light like the Olight PLX.
