Episode 138: The ULTIMATE Concealed Carry Beginner’s Guide – Part 1

Topic: The ULTIMATE Concealed Carry Beginner's Guide – Part 1

After receiving an email from a listener, Riley and Jacob were inspired to respond directly to that email with this episode today which has become the ULTIMATE guide for a beginning CCWer. We were asked to cover some subjects that newer CCWers need to know that they might not always figure out right away. Although fundamental information, we are confident newer and more experienced shooters alike will find value in this episode. Hope you enjoy the show today!

  • QuickDraw. Do things feel gritty and sluggish when drawing your gun out of your holster? Do your magazines sometimes get hung up in the mag well when performing reloads when they used to just drop freely? You might check out Quick Draw, the lubricant that’s designed for holsters and magazines. In testing we found a 10-15% decrease in draw to first shot times after using Quick Draw to freshen up the inside of our holsters. Learn more at www.ConcealedCarry.com
