Q’s When buying EDC gun

What questions do you ask yourself when buying your first or even your second concealed carry pistol?
.
Here’s just a few:
-What is max capacity in a flush magazine for this gun?
-how reliable is this gun for self defense? I may very well be trusting this weapon to function reliably to save my life at one point.
-Do I feel confident concealing this gun?
-What caliber does this gun shoot? And what caliber do I feel confident using for self defense?
.
There’s a million more questions we could ask ourselves, but the one question I almost never see new gun owners asking themselves is WHAT AM I GOING TO USE TO SAFELY CARRY THIS DEADLY WEAPON ON MY PERSON?? 🤣
.
Seriously, in my opinion this should be one of the very first questions to ask. Your holster is JUST AS important as your firearm. A holster is what allows us to take a chambered firearm and safely (or not safely) carry it on body. I honestly can’t even count the amount of ladies who have messaged me asking for recommendations on holsters for their very specific pistol, and I actually don’t have a recommendation for them...because there’s certain guns that have very few quality accessories available to them, including holsters. I feel that if we can we should do our holster research, find the right holster and then buy the gun that suits us inside of that holster.

If you’re past that point, you have your pistol, and you have had a hard time finding something decent to carry it in go check out Phlster, Dark Star Gear, Tier 1 Concealed and Eclipse Holsters...one of them is likely to have a great option for your pistol.

The point of this post is to encourage you to take your holster very seriously. If you’d like more information on what to look for in a holster please go check out my YouTube video, “Good vs. Bad Women’s Concealed Carry Holsters.”
