Resources

Here are vendors, organizations, and training that I recommend:

Top quality Kydex holsters, mag pouches, and knife sheaths.  I carry their three of their holsters every day.


Wild Bill's Concealment
  http://wilbillsconcealment.com

Superior quality pistols and parts.  Wilson Combat makes the best 1911 magazines on the market.


MIC Holster Systems http://www.themicholster.com/

MIC Holster Systems makes a neat minimalist Kydex holster: the MIC (minimal inside concealment). I use one for deep concealment with my backup gun.


S.O.E.  http://www.originalsoegear.com/

The most durable DuPont Cordura nylon bags, belts, rigs, and pouches.  It's American made gear that's warranted for life and built to perform.


Federal Premium  http://www.federalpremium.com/

My practice and training ammunition of choice.  High quality, dependable ammunition with a modest price, to boot.


Cor-Bon  https://corbon.com/

My carry ammunition of choice.  Superior quality by shooters, for shooters and designed to win a gun fight.

SportEAR  http://sportear.com/hearing-protection/

When shooting long guns, when it's hot outside, or I just don't want the bulk of earmuffs, I wear Ghost Strykes.

High quality, well engineered flashlights.  I carry their Maelstrom MMR-X to take control of the darkness.

Dependable tactical flashlights and weapon lights, I carry their XC-1 on my primary carry gun.

XS Sights  https://www.xssights.com/

I love XS pistol sights!  They are quick to acquire, robust, and excellent in low light.


UltiClip  https://www.ulticlip.com/

Locking clips that stay put.  A good upgrade for holsters, mag pouches, or anything with a clip that slips.

I carry a pocket trauma kit everyday and so should you.  The pocket Ventilated Operator Kit fits the bill.
