Impressions on the Springfield Armory XD 45 Compact Pistol

I give my impressions of Springfield Armory’s XD45 Compact handgun. It’s functional, reliable, and I shot it well right out of the box. Unfortunately it didn’t conceal well for me in an appendix position, and has moved on to other pastures.

“Is DrFaulken Packing?” Quiz #3

I’ve had two of these before, but the first one was via an online quiz service that seems to have deleted my pictures. So anyway, here’s the game: I post pictures of myself in clothes I would normally wear. You tell me if I am carrying a weapon or not, and if so where it [...]

Is that a gun in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?

I wrote about the SmartCarry deep concealment handgun holster in June of 2008. I had worn it around a few times, and while it was comfortable enough, I still couldn’t get the hang of living with it on.

DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster review

The DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster may seem expensive, but functions flawlessly with my Kel-Tec PF-9 small frame semi-automatic pistol. A great concealment holster for conceal carry handguns.

Kel-tec PF-9 handgun review

Firearms are a passion of mine. If you’re a regular Gibberish reader, you know this. What you may not know is that I’ve held a concealed carry permit in the Commonwealth of Virginia ever since I turned 21. Most kids buy a twelve pack or go barhopping; I bought my Glock 27 and shot five [...]
