Equipment:

Why we should all be talking and learning about concealed carry gear.

\\xa0

There seems to be some serious pushback in the defensive world to the idea of paying attention to the defensive gear you select.\\xa0 I understand where this resistance to gear is coming from.\\xa0 It stems directly from the idea that there are plenty of folks out there that focus on gear only.

\\n
• Consumers
\\n
• Retailers
\\n
• Media outlets
\\n

They are all guilty of paying too much attention to the gear.\\xa0 If we are realistic about our defensive needs it becomes pretty clear pretty quickly that no one NEEDS a $2500 defensive handgun.\\xa0 Yet there are plenty of very expensive defensive guns out there and plenty of people that are willing to pay for them.

\\xa0

Rarely will a $2500 custom GLOCK out perform a stock GLOCK in meaningful terms.\\xa0 Sometimes the effect is exactly the opposite.\\xa0 In tweaking the standard we can create more problems.

\\xa0

If you took the $2000 excess and spent it on training rather than on costly enhancements to an already capable gun think of the difference that you might see in your performance.\\xa0 You would be faster and would be prepared to deal with much more than a skeletonized slide can provide.

\\xa0

The idea is, we can take equipment too far.\\xa0 If, however, you don\\u2019t understand that some gear is going to perform better than other gear in defensive situations, you are missing the point.

\\xa0

There are some important ideas that people need to understand about gear.\\xa0 When we ignore defensive equipment it leaves the evaluation process of defensive tools up in the air.

\\n
• New defensive shooters
\\n
• Folks looking for a change
\\n
• People trying to correct an error
\\n

Folks need to have discussions, hear opinions and learn about concealed carry gear.\\xa0 If CCW gear isn\\u2019t being talked about, how is that learning supposed to take place.
