    EXCELLENT VIDEO! Zero crude “bada$$” language or idiotic attempt at humor. Just practical, professional, usable information that is very well presented.
  • Really appreciate the fact you spoke about these concepts, and didn't plug in your company until the very end. Really highlights the focus on the viewer and their needs and it being less of a marketing pitch.
  • @FC-qe1wl
    The biggest mistake is.......Not carrying ....
  • #6 Not getting used to wearing you new pistol. Practice wearing it in the privacy of you own home and on your property. This will greatly relax your nerves and get you comfortable with your lifestyle change. Wear it every minute that you are awake. And with and empty gun, practice your draw, sight picture, snd even what clothing(concealment garments and pant/shorts) work best for edc.

    Being a senior, criminals view me as easy pickings. Having a carry permit allows me greater freedom to go about my business. I am really happy with my Sig P365 holstered in an Alabama pocket holster - it conceals well in my pants pocket, and it's light weight allows me to carry it all day. At age 70 this is a big plus. I was once leery of carrying a round in the chamber. :) Now I'm not - just keep your finger off the trigger until your ready to fire at the target.

    My comment on #5 is that you’re incorrect about “just get more training”. It’s about comfort in carrying in the first place. It should be told to new people that you most certainly “should” carry with a round in the chamber, but what gets people comfortable doing so is experience. Not range shooting experience, but actual carrying experience. And if someone needs to carry for a couple months without a round in the camber to convince themselves that the gun won’t fire by itself, then that’s the best way for them. So my experience and opinion in, push the idea that you should carry with a round in the chamber, but don’t every say, “well, you shouldn’t be carrying in the first place if you’re too scared to do it.” Don’t discourage people like that. Let them gain carry experience.

    Being in one of those argumentative moods today I saw this video and thought, "Oh boy, been carrying for a bit over a quarter century I'm going to be able to find a bunch of BS I could pounce on." Very disappointed. This was all good sound solid advice. Stuff I've learned over the years. Wish I had seen this stuff 25 years ago. EXCELLENT VIDEO!
  • @Larsenne
    Absolutely the best video I've seen on this subject. No nonsense, no outrageous takes to get clicks, just common sense discussion about effective concealed carry. Also, I really like that he's got a specific product line for this exact topic and didn't use the video as an infomercial to get sales but he did make us aware of it if we wanted to check it out. Great video, on a saturated topic, from my perspective.

    Tenicor= Greatness. Clean, crisp, professional products and advice.
  • @JackMuren
    Probably one of the most informational videos for people interested in the basics of concealed carry. Very well done. Thank you!
  • Great video, just did my HQL/W&C training for Maryland and now learning what is needed to not print. Thank you for the information.
  • @ummthatguy
    these guys make some of the best holsters in the world and his videos are always about giving good information more than selling his holsters I love that

    When i first started carrying I was also nervous about one in the chamber, i was not new to guns at all but new to carrying. What i did was load a snap cap and while at home i would carry while doing everything i do at home and at the end of the day check to see if the trigger was pulled, of course it wasn't. After a few times doing that it helps to ease your mind that the gun will not go off unless you purposely pull the trigger.

    I started carrying a J Frame in my 1968 rookie year & continue to do so in retirement w/the LCP filling in a needed. My carry method is a pocket holster 100% of the time b/c that’s what works best for me. Solid info in this video.
  • @Ringele5574
    As a new pistol owner considering concealed carry, this was a very informative video. Thanks for posting. All of your points seemed like common sense to me, but sometimes common sense eludes sensible people.
  • @losmoore3358
    U spoke very well and covered all my questions. U said your spill like u didn't have cue cards, a natural. U took your time with your bullet points. Thank u for the video. U did excellent !
  • @Walkdogable
    Great video. I started carrying in an off body bag back in 2022. The gun range where I'm a member opened a shop that makes custom holsters. They do a great job making kydex holsters.
  • @akesq01
    Thank you for doing this and for the calmly provided information. I really appreciate your advice and comments on carrying with an empty chamber. Very wise and practical. Thank you for doing these.
  • Great video and I definitely will reconsider having one in the chamber, it's something I haven't thought about until this video so I thank you for the insight. Great information and a well-spoken video!
