If your life or someone else's life is in the equation then don't back out of buying quality gear. And that doesn't mean the most expensive, that means the best quality that holds up. Name brands are a good start, if you consider a new brand make sure they are transparent and actively sharing their products benefits, uses, instructional videos and purpose so you can see it before you are relying on it.

We are not a name brand, but we share everything, and show everything to give complete transparency.

The best gun belt brands are manufacturing in China. The Complete Guide to Choosing a Gun Belt for Concealed Carry and Everyday Use. Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

It pains me to say this but some of the biggest and best gun belt brands are manufacturing in China, and the quality is undoubtably of a super high standard. Now I get it, made in America is a great marketing strategy and a great strategy overall but it doesn't always mean the quality is high. In fact think about your iPhone and where that is made? Its made in China because it is made extremely well there. The same is said for nylon products, and gun belts; with the right manufacturer in China you can get an unbelievably high quality nylon gun belt construction. And that is just what the likes of Kore Essentials and Nexbelt have done, and it is what we have done too.

I will always support those who make in America and will never bash them because it is a great thing, I just believe that the masses of folks that need a gun belt for concealed carry or everyday work use can't afford a $70-$100 belt. And if they are spending that they don't want to put it through the stress tests of everyday life.

Inside the Barrel: Exploring the Basics of Gun Bore and Rifling. Feb 18, 2023

Show notes

As I have said in the past, it is important to know the parts of your guns or at least the major parts. I still don't know all the small pieces that make up a rifle, but I do know the basics.

The barrel, the bore are something to understand as it can be a serious issue if you try to use the wrong caliber for what the barrel is capable of handling.

When learning about the barrel and bore you'll come across rifling so I touch on what that is exactly, but not much further as I do not know much more about it yet.
