I’ve had a SIG SAUER P365 on or about my person since they first dropped back in early 2018. Since then, they have become one of the hottest and most desirable pistols for concealed carry. I have put a lot of rounds through that P365, recently passing the 15,000 round mark. Let’s dive into a […]

I have to admit that I really never knew much or really understood the hype surrounding the famous, but sometimes elusive Q products. I would see dozens of guys wearing shirts with a Q logo as a sprinkle donut or some 80’s style 8-Bit guns. None of them, however, were actual owners of Q products. […]

For nearly a decade now, Smith & Wesson’s M&P9 Shield has been one of the best, most popular micro-compact concealed carry pistols on the market, and for good reason.
