Training with primary and secondary mags
Promag and Mec-Gar make decent magazines, I wouldn’t suggest them as primary magazines, but factory new magazines can be pricey. I would suggest regardless of which number of magazines you are normally carrying, keep 3 or 4 range mags for each handgun you own.
Whenever you get to the point where you are putting hundreds of round down range to train for work of for your concealed carry firearm, you may want to consider getting some secondary gun magazines for training and blasting and save your primary magazines for carrying. I would strongly suggest that you put enough rounds through your primary mags but there’s no need to burn those out too fast.

There are several well known secondary rifle and pistol magazines, but Factory magazines are usually the best to obtain. Factory magazines are made by the companies that manufactur the firearms and that’s usually where you’ll get the best magazines. There are exceptions to the rule with rifles. Magpul isn’t making firearms, but they do one heck of a job of making a reliable and durable rifle magazine. Sturm Ruger is the largest firearm manfacturer in the United States. They make more guns and sell more guns than anybody else.
Any experienced and well trainied CCW holder will tell you that it may be wise to change your holster or carry gun during the change in seasons. I’ve spotted more than a few CCW holders out in the open when it was pretty obvious that the machismo took the best of them and they just had to keep carrying that 1911 IWB at 5 o’clock in the summer months as they were 5’7″ and didn’t realize that when they were standing in line at the super market that I could see the T-shirt bunched up around the belt line.
Promag magazines have gone through the decades being one of the top end of the replacement or after marketa magazines and they are still holding up. Pistol reliability has drastically increased over the last 15yrs and so has the machining and manufacturer of rifle and pistol magazines. Whether you have a Keltec P32 or a Mini 14, you can find Promag magazines at a reasonable price and use them for primary or secondary uses. During the assautl weapons ban of 1994 until the sunset of the ban, 
The concealed carry market is exploding with various tactical apparel and holster designs. Most gun owners that are not in law enforcement have the ability to select whichever firearm suits there comfort level and that will change depending on the environement they are in. Sometimes the idea of getting a $150 or higher shoulder holster sounds like fun and you can announce to everyone in the room that you are carrying a full size handgun, but that’s not really concealment. It’s hard to really give suggestions on what is best for concealment, because some of the best shooters I know carry a small auto or revolver in a pocket and I wouldn’t want to mess with them.
We we get into discussions with people that are looking for clothing that doesn’t make them look like they are carrying a gun, we listen to what the customer has to say and then we give them some options. We realize that dressing all tactical and clipping a folding knife onto a front pocket is usually a giveaway, but there is more to think about other than “what if they think I look like I carry a gun”. Well, how many times have you seen an Obama hippy pot smoking hippy with a camoflauge jacket on or cutoff camo pants? Does he look like he’s easy prey for a robber?
Some users like to bash the clip on holster designs and the reality is that a clip on isn’t as secure as a paddle or belt design, but if you match the right belt to a holter, it is a fine CCW option, especially if you are going to be taking the gun and holster off while you are out. I personally prefer the vertical shoulder holster design, but I’ve been tempted to wear the Galco Miami Classic holster on occassion. They are defanitely one of the nicest shoulder holsters out there.
. I guess its because so many of us have stories about the guy that shows up at a gun range and is ready for the tactical ninja battle of his life, but can’t shoot for ____. He’s wearing all black, has a low end AR15 with a red dot on it and isn’t grouping his shots very well. For those that are in law enforcement, we think about SWAT Teams or special operations. Well, there’s another application for tactical vests. A place to put all of your shooting accessories that goes to the range with you and it’s on you at all times.
We was flipping through a few gun magazines and noticed I was living in a new era of flahslight technology. The age of ever ready flashlights and mag-lite flashlights seems to have passed. Battery technology has also improved, but we still haven’t gotten to wear we need to be to really break into a new era. The major advancement is in light bulb technology. LED bulbs are thousands of times longer lasting and don’t drain batteries like the previous designs. Flashlights are almost all water proof these days and the beam and throw is increadable.
The real reason we love this shirt so much is how often we get out in cool mornings and by late morning we’re dying of heat and sometimes we just want to tear our shirt off. The back of the shirt is vented so even though this is not super lightweight material it can breath pretty well and the zipper can add a more professional look while zipped down when you want to cool off. This is hands down our #1 seller to firearms instructors for the look and applications.
