TOP 3 GLOCKS For EVERYDAY CARRY!

Today, I’m sharing with you my Top 3 Glock Models for everyday carry or as we say in the concealed handgun world, (EDC). I’ve had the pleasure of using Glocks for over 30 years now, in law enforcement, competition and for as an armed citizen.

I have never been disappointed with the Glock’s performance and reliability. I’m sure there are those out there who may disagree but from where I stand in experience running ranges, teaching thousands from all walks of life including LE agencies and special operations troops, I think they’ll do just fine.

Dependability

You can shoot the piss out of them, abuse them with very little maintenance or lubrication, (I don’t recommend not taking care of your gun, I’m just saying they can handle the abuse) and still maintain an optimal level of performance.

Conceal-ability

Each model is easy to DEEP conceal with the right holster! It’s up to you to go the quest of matching up the right fit of holster to your body type, the clothing you wear, your lifestyle, your abilities and disabilities and most importantly the amount of training you are investing to ensure your performance is successful.

Breakdown of the Models

  • Glock 43 9mm, 6rd-8rd single stack magazines, thin profile, lightweight, reduced sized handgrip.
  • Glock 43X 9mm, 10rd single stack magazines, thin profile, lightweight, same slide as the 43, but more of a full size grip. Great Deep Concealment gun with more firepower.
  • Glock 48 9mm, 10rd single stack magazines, thin profile, little heavier than the 43/43x, longer barrel/slide combo.

Accessories

Bottom line, Don’t get crazy.  If you had to add anything change the capacity of the magazines on the 43. Use Illuminated sights or what we call “Night Sights”. I prefer Trijicon and Meprolight. There are others out there that are durable.  If you are to get into trigger parts or a full replacement find companies that are reputable and durable.  Some Examples: Haley Strategic, Zev, Apex, Agency to name a few.   Work the gun, it doesn’t have to be competition ready with a hair trigger for your protection. Remember, the more that the gun is in stock mode the more reliable it will perform. Use The K.I.S.S. method.

Carry Methods

It’s difficult to have the gun for protection if it isn’t on your body!  Can you get to it in under a Second? Can you draw and fire safely within two seconds? That would require a couple of factors to be in check!

  • Is it in the best retrievable position?
  • Is it in the most concealable position?
  • Is it in the best defensible position?
  • How does this factor in with my clothing choices?
  • What of your abilities or disabilities?
  • How much training have you acquired?

All of this and more are some serious matters to consider!  See my other video on Top 3 Best Practices

Anyway, I love these three models for my students and my own EDC, due to their versatility in their size, capacity and capabilities of adapting to the shooter. Checkout the video and shoot me your comments! That’s all I got for you today!

With Representatives Like Kelly Daughtry, We Can Take Back America

Daughtry is a soft-spoken woman who gets things done

Published

on

When President Trump takes office next January 20th, he’s going to need a cadre of strong-willed Congressional representatives. It’s not enough to simply retake the White House, we need the foot soldiers with the unshakeable resolve to restore America.

In North Carolina’s 13th district, one candidate is firmly rooted in the values that made this country great, and will make it great again. Her name is Kelly Daughtry and, quite frankly, the nation needs many others like her.

Raised in rural North Carolina and the daughter of a U.S. veteran, farmer, lawyer, and entrepreneur, Daughtry has been a practicing lawyer for the past 25 years in Johnston County, where she makes her home. She’s been in the trenches and is not skittish about the slings and arrows that come with taking bold, conservative positions for what is right.

Clear Positions on Vital Issues

Daughtry is exceedingly clear on where she stands and on what will improve the lives of American citizens. She is a vigorous supporter of law enforcement and decries ‘de-fund the police’ movements wherever they arise. She understands that, by and large, the men and women in law enforcement are dedicated, hardworking individuals who, in many instances, put their lives on the line.

Similarly, Daughtry supports the U.S. military and our veterans. She knows that nations around the world with rogue leadership wish to do us great harm, and that we must maintain a strong military at all times. Not coincidentally, a strong military is the best prescription for peace.

On the border issue, Daughtry recognizes that the Biden Administration is firmly committed to swamping our country with illegal aliens. Why? Because the U.S. Census count doesn’t focus on U.S. citizenship, only the number of residents per county and state.

Hence, Democrats can gain a 20-seat advantage in the U.S. House of Representatives by continuing to flood our nation. This ploy is precisely why Biden and company have brought lawsuits against border states seeking to protect themselves.

The drugs, the crime — the murders — and the bursting budgets of towns and states trying to cope with the onslaught of illegals should never have happened in the first place. Daughtry knows what needs to be done, and done immediately.

Reversing Biden’s Reckless Agenda

Daughtry will go to work on restoring our nation, dismantling Joe Biden’s reckless agenda for America. She understands that Biden’s policies towards China in particular, and the bribes he has taken, have been nothing less than devastating for hard-working Americans and for our national security.

Most notably, she is firmly opposed to the Chinese Communist Party and their representatives who are seeking to buy farmland throughout North Carolina as well as every other place in the United States.

Biden’s out-of-control spending has particularly hurt North Carolinians. Farmers have taken the brunt of the punishment. The unending inflation that we’ve faced for 38 months also has dealt a crushing blow to North Carolina small business owners and families in general. One of Daughtry’s first agenda items will be to help steer our country back towards fiscal sanity, which in turn will have a direct impact on the cost of groceries and gasoline.

Americans First

Like President Trump, Daughtry understands the importance of putting Americans first and of safeguarding or voting procedures, elections, and indeed what it means to be an American citizen. Of note, she has no misconceptions about the differences between men and women and will work to stop the malarkey that the Left imposes on us every day, with their “56” types of genders.

Daughtry is a soft-spoken woman and in her quiet way, gets things done. If Donald Trump had an army of Kelly Daughtrys, the country would be on firm footing in relatively short order. She knows what hard-working Americans want and need, and is exactly the type of politician that North Carolina must send to Washington D.C.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in Wake, Harnett, Johnson, and Wayne counties in North Carolina, as well as the entire state and entire country, the 2024 election will be the most important in our lifetimes. This has been said about other elections at other times, but considering the damage that the Democrats have wrought on America, the time is now to reclaim our great nation and, with the likes of Kelly Daughtry, we can.

Why East Coast Workers are Blurry Eyed on Monday Morning

Most major television events start at 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. in the eastern times zone and many end far later than 11 p.m.

Published

on

Take a good look at the list below. What do all these events, listed in reverse order of occurrence, have in common? The answer: they all occur on Sunday evening.

 

* Jan 07 Creative Arts Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards

* Jan 14 Miss America Finals, NFL Wildcard Playoffs

* Jan 21 NFL Divisional Playoffs

* Jan 28 NFL Playoffs Conference Championship

 

* Feb 04 Grammys, NFL Pro Bowl

* Feb 11 Superbowl

* Feb 18 NBA All-Star Game

* Mar 10 Academy Awards

 

* Mar 17 Selection Sunday

* Mar 24 March Madness, round two

* Mar 31 March Madness, round four

* Apr 07 NCAA Women’s Final Four

 

* Apr 14 Masters Golf Finale

* Apr 21 NBA first round playoffs

* May 05 NBA Conference Semi-finals

* May 19 NBA Conference season finals

 

* May 26 National Memorial Day Concert

* Jun 09 NBA Finals, 2nd game

* Jun 16 Tony Awards

* Nov 17 Billboard Music Awards

As much as we’d like to think that Sunday is the most relaxing day of the week, too often, for much of the U.S. population, some late-night television event captures our attention and renders us blurry eyed for the next day.

Some television networks, such as HBO (now “HBO Max”), have a predisposition to air new episodes of recurring shows on Sunday evenings. Sunday nights are also considered prime time for sports such as football and basketball.

Problematic?

If you live in the Pacific time zone, the vast array of specialized television events on Sunday evening is not problematic, as most events start at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. and end between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Mountain time residents benefit nearly the same as Pacific time zone residents.

If you live in the Eastern time zone, you’re in trouble because most events start at 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. and many end far later than 11 p.m. Those in the Central time zone enjoy a one-hour earlier end to such events, which is often enough to avoid the issue addressed here.

The obvious solutions are to either rest up on Sunday with a long nap, so that you can stay up late to watch the shows to their conclusion and not head in to work the next day blurry-eyed, or limit yourself to watching half of a show, pause it, and finish watching it the next day.
