I had the chance to attend a tracking class down in West Virginia this past weekend and this was my EDC set up for the woods. The revolver is a Ruger Bisley Blackhawk in .45 Colt. This one was a Lipsey's limited edition in stainless with a 3.75 inch barrel. It's a big gun, but the short barrel makes it handy on the hip. I had it loaded with Grizzly 265 grain hard cast … [Read more...] about Tracker Carry With a Ruger Bisley Blackhawk

Beach Carry: A Reliable Glock 9mm and a Rust-Resistant Blade
Life isn't always a day at the beach, but when it is, you still need to be well equipped. We made a trip to the beach in Ocean City Maryland, with some time spent up in Delaware as well. I stuck to my Glock 45 with a Holosun sight and 1791 Gunleather IWB holster that I've been using all summer, as my travel gun.

I tweaked my summer carry a bit with some upgrades and additions. I’m still rocking my Glock 43X but I swapped out my factory slide for a Saurez optics cut slide in Sniper Gray and mounted a Holosun 597K-GR. The 43X now mimics my Glock 45 duty gun with its Holosun sight. I’m still using the C&G IWB holster I had before; I just opened up the top a little with a Dremel to … [Read more...] about What Are You Toting This Summer?
Some Things Never Go Out of Style: Old Time-y EDC
Ever wonder what your dad’s or grandfather’s EDC might have looked like? Think it would still get the job done today? Based on recent experience, I’m going to say it’d do just fine. I picked up an old I-frame Smith & Wesson Terrier recently chambered for .38 S&W. The I-frame was the predecessor to the J-frame most commonly found in the .38 Special Chiefs Special … [Read more...] about Some Things Never Go Out of Style: Old Time-y EDC
