Thanks Merc. Good article. Looks like the 45 ACP would be a decent defense load, but I am still curious how it would perform through heavy jackets, ect... in the winter time.

I have been in violent encounters both lethal and non-lethal. Training in the most realistic way you can will help you when you need to react instinctively. You WILL react in a similar manner to the way you train under very high stress situations. A great read for those who have or have not...

Has anyone shot the Civil Defense Ammo by Liberty Ammunition? They make very light grained ammunition with very high velocities (40 S&W is 60 grains @2000fps). I assume it is to lighten the load in your carry pistol and not have unintentional hits due to over-penetration, but I wanted to know...

There are many many good choices, but if you have access to a range in your area that will let you rent a few and actually shoot them then she can choose for herself. Don't be surprised if she can shoot a bigger caliber than expected. It is all about comfort and what she will be confident...

I make a very comfortable and compact hybrid style holster. Look at CrossroadHolsters.com and PM me if you have any questions/requests. Thanks

I make a very compact style hybrid holster that is extremely comfortable to wear thanks to the super soft backing. Check out the website CrossroadHolsters.com and PM me if you have any questions/requests.

Great read. I especially agree with #4 (below). I have encountered so many people who spend $500+ on their carry gun but then buy the cheapest holster they can get their hands on. Inevitably, after a short time of carrying on a regular basis they end up breaking or hating that cheap holster and...

I have been carrying a Springfield XD-S in 45ACP with one of my Crossroad Holsters and it is so comfortable I literally have checked to make sure it was still there. The XD-S is fairly accurate for what it is, but like most single stacks is lacking in the capacity department. Pros are that it is...

4:00 always seemed to fit me best. I can conceal a large enough gun to do the job, it doesn't impede normal movement, and I just never did get used to the idea of appendix carry. I know a lot of people love carrying this way (and I'm all for it if that's how you like to carry) but I couldn't...

Proof positive is Pete Shepley, founder of PSE archery, shooting their new bow at 370 fps (fastest bow on the market) through a chronograph at less than 3 yards. Arrows do not need 10 yards to generate top speed.

I have a holster company and that was one of the questions I addressed when coming up with the design. I wanted a holster that the user could take on and off for situations just like these and not have to undo their pants to do it.

My vote is for the Glock 23. Good balance of knockdown power, capacity, and conceal-ability.
