Small single-stack 9mm pistols like the Kel-Tec PF-9 or S&W M&P Shield are highly portable and more easily concealed than their higher-capacity, double-stack magazine counterparts. We accept their drawbacks like more harsh recoil, less fit-and-finish, and lackluster triggers in order to gain advantages in weight and size. This is particularly important to women, whose different […]
It’s been five and a half years since I wrote my review of the Kel-tec PF-9 semi-automatic 9mm handgun. It was one of the first reviews of the pistol at the time, and my comparison to the Seacamp / North American Arms Guardian and the Glock 26/27 made me a top Google result for years. […]
With a little bit of planning and foresight you can carry a concealed handgun safely while riding a motorcycle. I explain my personal decisions and carry methods, including on-person and on-bike.
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.
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 […]
I test-fire and compare the Rock Island Armory 1911 compact Officer model handgun, and compare it to my other concealed carry pistols: Glock 27, Kel-tec PF-9, and my full-sized Rock Island Armory 1911 Government model pistol.
I’ve written about the SmartCarry deep concealment holster a few times before on Gibberish. I affectionately refer to it as my “assault diaper,” and I have found it to solve a problem other holsters cannot. I was cleaning my Kel-Tec PF-9 and noticed that the color was fading from the front of the SmartCarry holster […]
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. It really is an “assault diaper,” and fits very snugly around my waist, with the pistol right […]
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.
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 […]
