Concealed carry isn't as easy as everyone would lead you to believe. \\xa0In fact, I think it can be a difficult challenge for many folks to get the training they need, practice to stay proficient, find a system that makes carry comfortable and convenient while still providing reasonable access to their gun.

\\n

It can be downright difficult.

\\n

The physical aspect of shooting can be a challenge for some folks as well. \\xa0Especially when we expect them to get hits with the actual gun they are going to carry. \\xa0Because of all the challenges that concealed carry poses, many folks select a small gun to ease the burden.

\\n

A small gun certainly makes carry easier, but, when it gets to the shooting part, things can get tough with itty bitty guns.

\\n

Small sights, stiff springs, long and heavy triggers all in a package that is hard to hold on to and recoils more than you might like all adds up to a gun that is hard to shoot.

\\n

So, what do most people do? \\xa0They practice and train with a gun that is easy and enjoyable to shoot and carry the gun that is easy and enjoyable to carry...

\\n

Do you see the problem?

\\n

Yeah, you guessed it, you actually need to be able to get the hits with the gun that you carry concealed.

\\n

There are some times when it makes sense to practice and train with a gun other than your carry gun and those are the situations we are going to talk about today on the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast.
