this is a tough one for me to admit but here we are

i never wanted to make this decision and honestly i kinda hate myself for it… but i want a g***k now 😂

yeah yeah go ahead and laugh it up

truth is it’s time to grow up a little and put my bias in the rearview. after running what i’ve run and carrying what i carry, i can’t ignore it anymore. i want a g***k 29 gen 5 in 10mm and i know good and well i’d enjoy it

my current edc is a springfield xds mod.2 osp in .45… the Lord’s caliber 🙌 and it’s served me well. but stepping into 10mm just makes sense and if you’re gonna do it, you might as well do it right

and let’s be honest… it would feel criminal not to grab a g***k at this point

but listen real close… keep that g***k V nonsense far away from me. we all saw how that went 😅

never thought i’d say it… but yeah

i want a g***k

Someone should donate some .45 and 9mm to me 😂

Facebook has stopped recommending my posts and has started automatically flagging some of them. Because of that, my reach has taken a hit. If you enjoy the content and what this page stands for, please consider sharing the posts when you see them. It only takes a second, but it truly helps more than you might realize.

I want to be clear about something. I’m not doing this for money and never will be. I do this because I genuinely enjoy it. My goal has always been to talk about fi***rm safety, discuss relevant laws, and approach it all from a Christian perspective that focuses on helping people and reaching others in a positive way.

I love what I do and I love people. If you can take just a moment out of your day to share a post when it pops up, it would mean a lot and help keep the message spreading. Thank you to everyone who continues to support the page.

Hello it has been a while.

Let’s take a quick look at something that gets talked about a lot lately. Switches and FRT style fi***rms.

Now listen. They are cool. REALLY cool. Nobody is going to pretend that dumping a mag in a couple seconds is not exciting. But there is a serious issue that people do not talk about enough.

Accuracy.

Yep the same thing that makes people smile at the range can also be the reason someone gets hurt.

That is not me being lame. That is just being honest.

Every time a fi***rm fires the expanding gas and the projectile leaving the barrel create recoil. Part of that recoil pushes the muzzle upward. That upward movement is called muzzle flip.

With normal semi automatic fire you feel that quick snap and you naturally correct for it between shots.

Now imagine that happening extremely fast.

When you are dealing with something like an FRT or anything approaching automatic fire you are sending multiple rounds downrange in a very short amount of time. Five to ten rounds can leave the barrel before many shooters have fully corrected the muzzle. That means rounds can climb above your target or even clear the berm if you are not controlling the fi***rm properly.

And here is the part many people forget.

You are responsible for every single bullet that leaves your fi***rm.

If rounds go over the berm or past the target and someone gets injured you are the one who will be held responsible.

Now let’s also talk about the legal side because this is extremely important.

A “switch” or auto sear that converts a pistol or r***e into fully automatic fire is legally considered a machine gun under federal law. The part itself is classified as a machine gun by the ATF even if it is not installed in a fi***rm. Civilian possession of newly manufactured machine guns has been illegal since 1986 under the Hughes Amendment to the National Fi****ms Act. That means owning a switch without the proper federal registration is a serious federal felony.

Forced Reset Triggers or FRTs exist in a more complicated area. The ATF has stated that many forced reset triggers function as machine guns under federal law. Because of that classification the ATF has seized many of them and possession may be treated the same as possession of a machine gun. There are ongoing court cases about this but as it stands right now you should assume they can put you in very serious legal trouble.

Texas law generally follows federal law on this issue. If something is considered a machine gun under federal law it is also illegal for civilian possession in Texas unless it is federally registered which for modern machine guns is essentially impossible.

So yes they are cool. But cool does not mean safe and it definitely does not mean legal.

If you cannot keep rounds on target slow it down and run your fi***rm the way it was designed. Control beats speed every single time.

Stay safe and stay responsible.

Okay, after daily carry with my new Close Quarters Carry holster, I can confidently say this thing is fantastic.

I have owned many holsters, including the very comfortable Sticky holster for my Ta**us GX4. Mine was not involved in the recall, but you should always check yours on the Ta**us website.

I carried that setup daily until this absolute unit of a holster showed up. The build quality is excellent, it absolutely meets expectations, and it is barely noticeable while carrying. Best of all, ZERO printing.

Solid gear, solid performance.

Okay folks, the holster from Close Quarters Carry has officially arrived. After a short round of testing, I can confidently say this is possibly the best holster I have owned, and I have tried quite a few.

The quality is outstanding, the draw is smooth and consistent, and the overall fit is excellent. Even the packaging stands out. It arrived in a well made fabric bag that is very on brand, protects the holster perfectly, and includes some extra goodies. The Patrick sticker is hands down my favorite.

As for a deeper, more detailed review, y’all are going to have to wait just a little longer. The Gun Gal and I are welcoming someone into the world very very soon, so things are a little busy right now. More updates coming soon, I promise.

CQC Holsters Review Coming Soon

Finding a quality holster for a specific fi***rm is a pain unless you are running a G***k or a Sig and even Smith and Wesson can be hit or miss. Most people end up with a pile of holsters that technically fit but fall short on comfort, retention, or real world usability.

I recently ordered a holster from Close Quarters Carry, a small Florida based holster maker, and I will be reviewing it with my personal carry setup on an upcoming Facebook Live.

To be clear, this is not a partnership, not a sponsorship, and not a paid promotion. I purchased this holster myself. The goal is simply to let my audience explore the product with me and see how it performs in real time.

The holster is currently still being made and has not arrived yet. Once it ships and comes in, I will provide updates and details leading up to the live review.

CQC is a one man operation producing made to order holsters. Each holster is formed for a specific fi***rm and offers extensive customization options including carry position, belt attachments, ride height, cant, and layered or wrapped finishes. They also offer a lifetime shape guarantee, which is not common in the holster world.

If you already run a CQC holster, you know what they are about. If you do not, stay tuned and we will see how it performs.

Below is a photo from their website I DO NOT TAKE ANY CLAIM IVER THIS PHOTO AND RIGHTS BELONG TO CQC HOLSTERS ALONE

What is your favorite gun to carry and why? What caliber do you prefer? The Gun Guy wants to know.

I personally choose .45 and here is why
For me the .45 ACP checks the most important boxes for defensive carry. Heavy bullet mass large diameter and predictable performance at realistic defensive distances. I value consistency over raw speed. With proper am******on selection it offers strong threat stopping capability while emphasizing control restraint and accountability. Add in personal significance and training time and it becomes the platform I trust most.

Caliber debates never die so let’s break down common carry calibers and how am******on choice plays a role.

22LR
Pros
Very low recoil and easy control
Lightweight pistols and easy concealment
Low cost allows frequent training
JHP can offer limited expansion and slightly better energy transfer than FMJ
TUI style rounds can increase disruption compared to standard lead

Cons
Rimfire reliability is less consistent than centerfire
Limited pe*******on even with premium ammo
JHP expansion is inconsistent
TUI effectiveness is highly dependent on velocity and placement
Requires extremely precise shot placement under stress

380 ACP
Pros
Low recoil and easy follow up shots
Very compact pistols for deep concealment
Centerfire reliability
JHP improves tissue damage compared to FMJ
TUI can enhance effectiveness in short barrel pistols

Cons
Pe*******on can be marginal with JHP
Some loads fail to meet minimum depth standards
TUI and specialty ammo can reduce pe*******on further
Smaller margin for error overall

9mm
Pros
Excellent balance of recoil velocity and pe*******on
High magazine capacity
Wide availability of defensive am******on
JHP offers reliable controlled expansion and pe*******on
TUI increases cavitation and rapid energy transfer
Fast accurate follow up shots

Cons
Lighter projectile means less momentum than larger calibers
JHP performance depends on barrel length and load quality
TUI may increase recoil and muzzle blast
Over pe*******on still possible with improper ammo choice

10mm
Pros
High velocity and deep pe*******on
Excellent performance against large or dangerous threats
Wide range of load options from mild to extreme
JHP provides controlled expansion with serious pe*******on
TUI delivers massive energy transfer and disruption

Cons
Heavy recoil for many shooters
Slower follow up shots under stress
JHP can still over pe*****te due to velocity
TUI increases recoil and may reduce controllability
Ammo cost and availability

45 ACP
Pros
Heavy bullet and large diameter
Strong momentum and consistent pe*******on
Effective at defensive distances
JHP expands reliably even at lower velocity
TUI produces significant cavitation and rapid threat stoppage
Performs well even if expansion fails

Cons
Lower velocity compared to smaller calibers
Reduced magazine capacity
Larger grip frames for some shooters
JHP and TUI ammo is heavier and more expensive
Slower follow up shots for some users

At the end of the day there is no perfect caliber or magic bullet. Shot placement training judgment and am******on selection matter far more than internet arguments. Carry what you can control what you train with and what you trust.

Wisdom is the principal thing therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting get understanding.
