Just started to carry for first time. A little nervous about carrying due to feeling the responsibility. This video is golden! Thank you. The only thing I’m finding out, I wish there were more gun ranges that had a range for practicing drills as you described. Standing in one place, shooting at a non moving paper I feel, does not prepare me for real life situations.
The closest range I can go to to practice these very thing is two hours away from my house. I live in an urban area so it’s just hard to find ranges that have the property available to do these more practical drills. Good thing I like driving but when I go I make a day out of it. Also…. BUY A SHOT TIMER. A shot timer let’s you gauge your skills and it’s a VERY useful training tool.
Same, recently started carrying. Luckily I have a relatives land in the country where I can practice without worrying about looking like an idiot and not have to worry about anyone else around me. The 2 indoor ranges near me are crazy strict so other than breaking in new pistols/rifles they're kinda pointless.
Buy an airsoft pistol, do it at home. You're welcome.
@@cavalieroutdoors6036 🤔 not a bad idea.
@@Tonious honestly once you have any base level of training, indoor ranges are pointless. There’s no skills you’re building, if skill building is your goal.
The No.1 Tip is to always understand your surroundings, and constantly assess potential threats.
Mr. & Mrs. Outlaw- combining martial arts and marital arts.
😂👍
Yep, went from missionary to amazon positions. Instantly started looking away from either one thinking "I don't think we should be seeing that". Someone didn't properly record over an old VHS of "Outlaw After Dark" or "Outlaw Indoors" and "Teela On Top" or "She-Ra is Superior" or maybe "Asses High, His and Hers". 🤠 😆
Great content. Your Remington comment made me laugh but then would like to inquire your opinion on types and brands of ammo. You do outstanding videos on firearms, but if you don’t have reliable and good ammo in a good gun you’re f’d. Kind of like if you put crappy tires on a Ferrari, you have a crappy car.
@@aaronfarnsworth7653just say you don't practice grappling
“Something that says Remington on it” made me laugh out loud. Great content, Chris.
This^^
A couple years ago, while sighting in rifles for deer season, a family member had some Remington ammo that made us think we needed to put choke tubes in his gun. Absolutely horrible.
I kinda like their umc 9mm😅 works better than fiocchi 🤷♂️ jam city in my sig with fiocchi
This is one of the better "tips for CCW" videos I've seen because you're humble towards the civilian reality, and you're honest (thus why I follow you). I'm way to accustomed to physical altercations as a result of my youth, and have also been shot at as a civilian. I LOATH like 95% of the people who train Civilians in "self defense" because they gloss over so many of the realities of conflict. Thank you also for bringing up a few controversials: Have Fun, Run (Evade), and Comfort. All critical.
The only thing I would add, which makes me even more controversial is something I have learned from experience and is, well, super controversial for anyone who hasn't been in a fight, but for anyone who has been in many a fight and is comfortable with it, will agree: Learn Your Voice! Your voice is a weapon. You brought up Run, which is Evade. Which, well, in many circumstances that may be your best first bet. But also, your Voice is a damn weapon too. And in some situations it can be used as well. I have seen more than one potential conflict be stopped by a simple comment. It's a totally different skill set, and it is not used often in the "Self Defense" community, but it is an important skill.
Very good point. Martial arts Masters say the best way to survive a fight is to avoid it if possible
"I fucking LOVE sesame street!"
We were involved in a fist fight (about 6 of us) and a big guy ran out of the bar and started screaming about how much he loved Sesame Street. He did it aggressively and was in everyone's faces when he did it.
He later explained that one of the guys we were fighting had pulled a knife, and we hadn't seen it. Knife guy was the first one he yelled at, and it broke his MOJO enough for him to put the knife away.
Definitely not a method I would rely on, but that man broke the tension just long enough for us to breath and have to make a conscious decision to keep fighting.
His voice may have saved a life(s) that night, as my friend and I were armed and a knife would have been a drastic escalation.
Words are powerful, don't let tunnel vision take them away from you.
"Touch me you're gay!!"
*attacker flees in terror
I'm taking a lot of my friends out to the range. Just out there having fun. Next thing you know it's competition. We've all got much better. Great tips Chris
Chris thanks for all you do to bring awareness to the masses. Im 65 and just started shooting about 5 years ago. I go to the range about 3-4 times a month and have taken a few classes. I got my CCL just this year and to be honest am still a bit nervous at times when i go out. How about some tips for the older crowd that cant duck, kneel and run. Thanks again for all you do!
Agreed. I wish these instructors would have classes for us Mature crowd.
Easy target😭 bud
Ditto! The reason we do carry is to be prepared. FACT is, those that wish to do us harm do not think as we do, mentally, Ideology, drugs. Thus I justify the need to carry and hopefully train enough to be ready, in case. Otherwise, just act naturally! IMO
Now over 50, I've found strength training and competition help me overcome the physical ailments and improve the mental part as well - especially decision making under stress. The key is to not get caught up with the youngsters. Find an IDPA match (typically lower round count than a USPSA match), and WALK the stages when shooting. As you shoot more matches, and you gain confidence, start going a bit faster. You are only competing with yourself. You will also learn a TON about your skills and your gear.
Use your age and experience to your advantage, in other words be more aware of your surroundings than your average bear
By far the best gun tuber out there. Really don't even know who's in second place
The first time I ran a three gun course I was shocked on how difficult it is to shoot under stress and exhaustion from running. (especially when I could be in better shape) I’ve since been running 4-5 miles daily, wearing a 25 pound weight vest, I’ve been doing that for about four years now. Being in shape dramatically helps your performance out on a three gun course which should translate to a self-defense shooting scenario! Thanks for the food for thought!
people vastly underestimate just how important being in shape is for daily life in general
I learnt to shoot so i wouldnt need to run 😂
Chris mentioned peeking around objects without over silhouetting yourself, a good way to practice that at home is to lean in and out of frame on a mirror.
You can never be too prepared for something you think you're prepared for.
Great video, glad you said have fun ! Everyone talks about systems and training makes it sound like work . Shooting is fun! My dad always said “if something is fun you’ll do it more “
Good info, at 72 and handicapped I can’t do a lot of these but I practice drawing and dry firing almost every day and hit the range at least 3 times a week. I suggest always drawing from your holster at the range to get comfortable Handling the firearms loaded.
One and only one time have I ever gone to a manned gun range to shoot. I paid for a full day, but stayed only about an hour, as that was all their bullshit I could take. That was my last time. Since then, I've checked out many, many ranges by finding them on Google Maps and reading the reviews there. Not a single one within 200 miles of where I live had good reviews. Same old bullshit everywhere. So, I leased a small tract of land for hunting and put in my own little range. Come and go as I please, bring guests as I please, play loud music if I please, draw from holster if I please, and do everything else that I please.
Very useful advice! Number 11 stood out to me most. To piggy back on that, I think running or HIIT training before shooting (if able) is a great thing to think about. If you are winded before shooting it will affect your accuracy greatly if you've never done it.
It will also focus your mind and allow you to concentrate more during training. Even just a quick 20 minute jog before shooting will benefit you.
Also, great advice. I knew a guy who used those laser pistol / target trainers while on the treadmill running, actually sprinting then would have to stop and fire. Great point on breath control.
yea, one way i "stress test" is do do a circuit of pushups, burpess, jumping jacks, to best simulate how that adrenaline will limit my motor functions and how to function when tired and lactic acid buildup
I love the emphasis on grappling and striking. The vast majority of confrontations you ever have, including potentially violent ones will end in a homicide charge if you use that gun. Don't let hammer salesmen convince you that every problem is a nail. Additionally, thank you for not being a fear mongering gun channel. So much of the gun community are fearmongers screaming "they're gonna gittcha buy another gun" in every video, and I swear it must contribute to the number of "bad shoots" going on lately.
What you miss is 99 percent of the assaults normal people suffer their assailant is armed bent on doing you harm for whatever reason. We ain’t getting in bar fights and chest bumping exhibitions. We aint hanging out in front of a gas station smoking a joint. We have families and work a 9-5. Only weakness might be temptation to flip somebody off driving. road rage your likely to get shot at in major cities. Avoid it at all cost.
I used to own a storefront. ALL of the excuses and wives tales you covered…I heard daily. So true. Run a gun. Learn it. Learn how to carry it and keep it. I love this advice you give. Thank you
"Don't get noticed, run away if you are and use force only when you have no other option" is what I live by. Too many people equate personal protection with self defense. Personal protection starts with a realistic assessment of the threat and securing your property, electronic devices and your person against that threat. Self defense is what hapoens when you fail at personal protection. You are far more likely to have your credit card number compromised than face a physical threat .The more effort you put into personal protection the less likely you will need to use your gun.
I think you have a young, fit man's perspective on fighting. I could do a lot more at 65 than I can 73. Even at 65 I would not want to fight someone half my age. The only advatage small and/or elderly person might have is surprise. Your attacker might just think you are an easy mark giving you a chance to do some damage and get away. At any age getting into a grapple means you f**ked up. See above.
Older gentleman I knew once said old men are the most dangerous, because instead of fighting they'll shoot first lol
Agree 100%, too many people carry their weapon looking for a reason to use it.
Would love a video on setting up a practice range, thanks.
As one of those police academy trained guys, who is now retired, I could not agree more with the need for training. I was an administrative agent, but I retired after a heart attack and bypass surgery, and didn't get to the range for a year. When I finally got there, it was scary how badly my skills had deteriorated. I would like to mention one thing I don't think you stressed, which is the importance of always maintaining situational awareness. Part of your awareness should be how you can escape. My basic firearms instructor stressed that in addition to being alert for danger, you should always be thinking about how you will escape. If you aren't an officer on duty or a soldier in a combat zone, avoiding the fight is the best way to approach the fight. And even those who cannot avoid combat should always be thinking about the nearest cover.
Hell yeah. Great comment.
best comment so far
That ending with the Ju jitsu was probably not self defense training but it looked like important practice.
Keep up the videos! Thank you for the time and effort you invest into honest critical firearm and training knowledge!
Another great video Chris. Love your down to earth approach and realistic views.
Understanding the law is a big one too. Recently discovered ur page and it’s one of my favorites. Straight to the point and honest.
Outstanding as always Chris! This one really made me think of my weaknesses and how I should practice/train more to minimize their impacts on me. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Thanks for the tips...I just started carrying for the first time starting this year....was very nervous at first....but the more I carry and practice with my gun the more confident I am getting. Tips are always a great thing.
Great job!! You just condensed a weekend seminar into a short video. Your explanation of situational use makes me respect your opinion on the actual firearms that much more.
Yes, do a video on the belt and carry...Chris this video for me gave me a lot to think about in a good way. I've shot different guns my whole life but only recently taking it to a personal level for my daily protection. You gave me a lot to consider and to move to the next level, especially getting motivated. I've watched numerous videos, and your unbiased reviews with the Mrs is a huge help. Being a shorter guy with smaller hands, her take on guns it a big help for me.Just wanted to say thanks to both of you and keep the great videos coming.
One of your best vids yet man! Bringing light to a lot of the things that most people overlook- thanks homie 💪🏻💪🏻
Well said well-thought-out I got into pistols for self-defense about 3 years ago. And there are lots of rabbit holes to go down I like people that keep it real like you did in this video trained as you are not as you want to be
Very Good Video. I learned from it and I shared it with friends so they will hopefully learn from it as well. It's great that you and Mrs. Outlaw train together. My Compliments to Both of You. Thanks and God Bless!
Chris, you are really helping me to relearn all of this at 50+, having learned in the military a while back and not maintained the skills. Thanks for all you do, pal. If youre ever in Branson, look a brother up!
Outstanding video with some great tips!
I'm in my late sixties, and disabled but also spent 12 years in the USMC and the one thing I find most valuable is that spirit to survive that the Marine Corps taught me! I do love your tips, I may be an old dog, but not too old to learn so thanks again!
glad to see you show some of the combatives training you do chris - people need to understand the difference between punching holes in paper and actually fighting
You emphasizing training, and repeating the steps involved. Totally agree .
Its like playing a musical instrument, repetition and stamina. When you play an instrument you have depend on your repetitive motions. You don't have time to think about the songs
You just have to have put in the practice, so you don't have to think about it. Pratice, pratice,pratice. My children asked through the years, how did these musicians get this good. My answer was they practiced while others were watching tv or video games.
Practicing from a chair is an eye opener.
You have to visualize the steering wheel, flagging yourself, and what the boundaries of your car actually are.
Awkward drawing with seatbelt on too
And the best part of doing a competition is that everybody is so helpful and nice to new shooters.
Everybody there was a first timer too, and it helps see how you do with a lot of added adrenaline.
Thanks for a great video!!!
Thank you for this video on carrying concealed and combat ideas. I watch your video reviews frequently and I always feel like I learned something. My wife and I are fairly new to shooting and just need to practice more to get more comfortable with it.
Great content here...everything I carry is full size metal with the exception of my 38. Currently the Girsan Regard is what I'm swinging. It was uncomfortable at first, but I got used to it. With practice, it now comes out almost as fast as my 38 snubby. As a cross draw guy...being smooth with a left handed belly draw if my strong side is engaged was a real challenge.
Great advice. As a person who has had a career in LE and trained various people in defensive tactics this video is great advice. I really liked the tip of "being able to run". I always loved when talking to people about personal safety and they would say "I'd just run away". Which is great advice if you can avoid a fight. Then I'd see people who clearly can't run due to physical ability OR they are wearing business attire like healed shoes or men's dress shoes and I am thinking, no your really not going to run. I would add if your going to run or cycle as part of training DO NOT WEAR HEADPHONES. The human animal relies on sight and hearing to prepare for danger, wearing headphones gives an attacker (or a passing car) the element of surprise.
Lastly I loved the Remington ammo comment almost snarfed my coffee LOL
Great advice. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to share this with us all.
Good video Chris, you covered a wide variety of basic concealed carry fundamentals with practice being the most important.
I’ve started carrying in a crossbody bag more often than not. Allows me to still carry in tighter clothing or dresses and I found myself being able to carry in places I originally never carried in (ie the gym, on my motorcycle, etc). It’s also a lot more comfortable carrying a full size pistol that way as well.
One problem with that is thieves would most likely go for a bag first if they're trying to rob you, or if they snatched the bag you might have trouble getting to it, which is why carrying on your body is preferable if possible. But I'd assume wearing it cross body helps with it being snatched. Just some friendly advice anyway or things to consider.
@@BabyJesus66 There are pros and cons to ANY carry style. For her lifestyle it may be a very valid option.
My ONLY bit of advice is to have some sort of "other" tool on your person just in case you do end up in a struggle over your bag. A pocket knife, one of the teeny little rugers, or heck some sort of keychain that has a strap over 6" long.
But it also depends on your community. A cozy small town where you know or know of most people vs a suburb vs a city will dictate a lot. I'd say more important than your carry style is being in tune with what's going on around you. Pay attention. If you get a bad vibe go ahead and start making moves to better yourself: move away from danger, plan escape routes, check for things BEHIND the threat, look for weapons, etc. etc.
My wife carried that way for years until she took a training class. They wanted her to be able to draw and put two rounds on target in under 2 seconds. She was closer to 5. She switched to 4 clock carry and was 1.4 2 the chest and one to the head.
Those arms will scare any thief
Take a look at the Phlster Enigma. I'd argue it's the best beltless holster system on the market today. Many women use it to carry on body in gym clothes and dresses.
As a life long martial artist, BJJ & Kali black belt and instructor, I'm glad to see you address fighting without the gun. Nice punching skills btw Chris!
Love that you mention the unarmed part, a lot of folks think carrying is a magic "I win" card.
First, you want something between angry words and lethal option. And two, like you said you might get tangled up first.
And for the "just run" folks, that's Great but not always an option. Also I am sure many of those folks can't run as far and as fast as they think.
You're one of the few channels that recommends learning how to fight. To me, that's the most important thing to learn. There are far more situations where you'll need to know how to fight than situations where you'll need to draw your gun.
The best advice I have is DO NOT PLAY WITH THE GUN while carrying. I have seen people feeling to see if it is still there or using the holstered gun as a prop for their hand or arm. Just let the gun sit there!
Great video. I liked firing from weird positions and behind cover. Being on both ends of bullets flying on more than one occasion in life I can say these are very good advise. I liked learn to run. I always teach my family if a shooting starts order of operation should be. Run, hide then fight.
If I could add one thing. When training incorporate movement in every course of fire.
When bullets fly you need to be moving to cover and returning fire on the way to cover.
I'm still relatively new to the community and this information helped me to get uncomfortable and get used to it. Will be training this weekend!
Can't stress enough about general fitness and learning how to fight generally. You learn so much about yourself and your reactions to stress when someone is beating on you even if you're all padded up. Learn to recognize what kind of movements in other people are preludes to fights, how to avoid or engage, etc. Glad to hear folks with bigger platforms on RUclips mention it.
Something I heard from an attorney that’s always stuck with me… he said, “as far as the court is concerned… if you had time to get a proper stance, proper grip and proper sight alignment, then you had time to run.” Best legal defense is avoidance.
Why follow laws when your life is at stake? You’d be the first to die due to natural selection
Not arguing that, but to me it just gives a criminal that much more of an upper hand to which they already have due to BS laws hampering law abiders..running is a chance to get shot in the back..BTW, no one ever said take the bow and arrow away from the user
I assume that attorney was referring to those that can actually physically run. Even if you could physically run, it would probably be good legal defense to say that you physically could not.
Yeah sure so when they're in your house and wanting to harm your family....run. Guess you can always get another family.
@@DTollzI don't think most states would complain if you did shoot someone that was inside your home. It's when they are outside of it that some say you should run.
Great video. People don't realize many shootings start as a physical altercation first. In general, you can't just shoot someone because they want to beat your butt. If at all possible, avoid confrontations. Even if you win, you will spend the next 2 to 3 years in criminal and civil trials.
Thank you so so much for this video. I have been carrying for a year now and that is very useful and helpful information. Thank you 🙏🏾
Out of the many, many, many of your videos that I have watched over the years this one is my favorite. It was a college education in carry! I will readily admit that a few of these golden nuggets I had never even thought of. I recently became an octogenarian.
When using dummy rounds to practice malfunctions, have a friend load your mags (and don't watch), so they can randomize the loading of the dummy rounds and you won't know when they're coming.
Great video! I especially appreciate your emphasis on physical fitness. I know a lot of Tactical Timmys that aren't in the needed condition to run, drag someone, or pick someone up in an emergency. I would love to hear more about your mindset on a carry rotation. Personally, I only have one carry gun, a Sig P229, and I make it work in every situation. I do this, because I want to handling my gun to be second nature. However, most people I know have at least two or three guns they normally carry
Man, this is some great insight, especially the first few non-firearm tactics. They are very important along with the rest. Thanks for sharing.
I knew most of this but some I have forgotten some. Thank you for this video. It's a great reminder plus you added to things I didn't think of. Great video!!!!
I like to practice using different cover garments...
Tee shirts, button shirts, sweat shirts, vests, coats.
They're all very different in ways to grab or throw away from your holster.
Great topic! 👍
Love the mindset that you need to learn to fight especially grappling because most real fights end up on the ground and also what a lot of people don’t consider is working on cardio after the first 30 seconds the adrenaline rush subsides and fatigue comes on very quickly if you are not used to exerting that kind of energy you don’t need to be UFC level but knowing a few basic escapes and submissions is huge
Would like to see our outlaw guy do a video on gun belts ,.because I' very heard more than defense xpert say the right gun belt can make concealment a lot easier 😃😸👍 2A all the way God bless the USA & GOD BLESS DJT
Your knowledge and general attitude is awesome! i love your videos! Thanks, and keep them coming!
Great video and I always learn something new. This is important for seniors especially.
Thanks Chris, great advice for us to know and practice, practice, practice!!👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😉👊
New to ccw. I dont know it all but I do know that my wife and kids need me to protect them no matter what.
Need to teach wife and kids to defend themselves. Not always going to be there to protect them. Make it a family thing, my wife and my son and I go out and shoot and we also hit the bags and it just makes me feel more comfortable leaving for work daily
Thank you, as always. You always give me something to think about that I, of course, haven't considered.
So glad to see you mention one handed draw. I see to many videos that focus on using your off hand to clear you shirt and do not mention at all on practicing drawing with only the one hand. I practice one handed draws all the time. I also practice drawing (a cleared and safe gun) while sitting in my car. need to learn how to deal with the gun position and interference from the seat belt. Great video. Keep up the good work!
All glory to Jesus Christ
Thank you for everything you do to show me about everything I need to know about fire arms
Nice to see the Honest Outlaw has a picture of my other favorite outlaw in his gym, Josey Wales.
I really think I got some sort of magic taurus g3c. Well over 3000 rounds not one malfunction and I only cleaned/oiled it a few times when I had it.
I echo those thoughts. I have only done 1000 rounds and it never had one issue. His Buy a Taurus comment was a surprise slam to me. LOL
@@stephenschroeder6567 I had well over 3000 but definitely not 4000 yet. But still not one malfunction. I always see people say taurus jam and double feed etc. But I never experienced it lol.
I have a g2c with 1700 rounds through it no malfunctions at all. I keep it in my tackle box in my boat out in the weather all I do is spray it with wd40 occasionally and never a hiccup. I wouldn't do this to any of my more expensive guns either
Sorry but there is no magic to the reliability to your particular Taurus. All of the G2 and G3 series of Taurus handguns are very liable. The only thing I did to my G3c was polish the feed ramp to a mirror like finish. Some other Taurus firearms have had reliability issues. Chris was joking as he has listed the G3c in some of his top 10 lists for lower cost handguns.
Honest Outlaw review segment where he says the Taurus G3c is very reliable and the best handgun under $400

I think one thing a lot of people fail to do is do legitimate research on Lethal Force laws in their state of residency. In the age of the internet we live in, it’s way too easy to get misinformation on the internet and/or gravitate to “sources” that put out misinformation for the sake of clicks by targeting demographics. Do research through local law offices, county and state police and certified Conceal Carry Classes. Know the laws and train with them in mind.
Thanks Chris and Mrs.O! Really great advice and tips.
Good stuff. #4 is so true. I take a lot of classes and I’m regularly one of the few people running their actual carry gun from concealment. If you want to run a full battle belt in a Handgun 1 class to test it out, fine, but hopefully you’re doing most of your training from concealment.
I agree with the competition thing. I've been shooting uspsa for a couple years and it has made me a much better shot. Its all about speed and accuracy under pressure.
Pushups/mountain climbers in between mags for stress tests, carrytrainer is the go to for all situations and possible reactions, stay safe 🙌🇺🇸
That’s why I switched from my hellcat pro to the Glock 43x MOS It felt more comfortable. Was much easier to carry all day
How does the pro shoot for you compared to your 43x? I shot a family member's 43x and it felt a lot less snappy than my pro. But it definitely carries better than the Beretta 92x Compact I used to carry
@@marvnation924 I shot a friend's 43x with a comp today along with my Beretta 92x Compact. Hands down, the Beretta(for me) was flatter shooting and less felt recoil. Shooting out to 10 yards at steel targets, I was easily more accurate with the Beretta. I haven't shot the HellcatPro but have shot the P365 and didn't like it near as much as the Glock 43X...even without the comp.
@@marvnation924 I dumped a HC pro to go back to a 43x mos again. just installed a minus connector and an Overwatch precision drop in trigger shoe and bar just for the better shoe feel. IMO the 43X shoots alot better at least feels better. the square grip on the pro was uncomfortable under recoil. At the range today shooting the 43x and shield plus and shadow systems cr920. I shot the shield plus the best actually. those things are a real shooter and best trigger of all of them. ran the plate rack much faster than I thought I would.
@@01rcpena Makes sense, the Beretta is much heftier and smoother, I love mine and it's familiar to me since I carried an M9 in the service. I picked up the pro since I wanted something lighter and slimmer with similar capacity since I wanted something easier to carry for the summer. The Pro is very accurate, smooth, and reliable, but it's snappy as hell. I had to adjust my regiment and grip in order to shoot it well but it made me a better shooter and I wouldn't give it up for much. Been eyeing the P365 tho since sometimes even the pro is a bit big for carry in some circumstances, but I like mine and shoot it well. Doesn't hold a candle to how well the 92x compact handles tho.
@@leesamuelson Understandable, I picked the Pro at the time because of the capacity and similar size to the 43x, although that's a moot point now since shield arms makes a 15 round mag for the 43x. I practiced enough with my Pro that I shoot it rather well but with the same practice the 43x definitely was softer shooting. I like pretty much everything about the pro, sights, feel in hand, capacity, accuracy. Don't get why it's so damn snappy tho I guess it's just the geometry of the gun. But I wouldn't give it up for much at this point.
Excellent video..
Great points and highlights things that most people never think about..
Thank you..
Awesome, practical, and valuable advice! Thanks so much Outlaw (and Mrs Outlaw ❤)
For me, number one is cardio. I don't give a single f*** what someone thinks about me. I will gtfo if there's danger.
The best way to win a fight, is to not get into a fight.
It's great to be ready for a fight, but better to avoid one altogether.
I have two Taurus pistols, a G2C and TH9C. Only failure I ever had not ammo related was I wore out the recoil spring on the G2C. Other than that, may thousands of rounds through each over the past 4~5 years with zero issues.
Those and the G3 series of Taurus firearms are all very reliable. Chris knows that as he has placed the G3c on some of his top lists of handguns that are lower cost. I don't recall any cycling failures with my G3c over the ~1000 rounds I have put through mine. The only issues were user induced when loading mag during IDPA practice.
@@raykettel1837 Which is why I'm a little irked at the comment about getting a Taurus to practice failure drills.
Gear video is appreciated. This reaffirms the best way to a responsible CC .
Thanks for sharing 🙏

Great advice as always. I also highly recommend biting and/or eye gouging in your self-defense repertoire!
Only now found this channel but man I've been binge watching. Awesome work man.
Fanny packs are tactically stupid. Almost cost my friend (off duty LEO) his life when confronted by two armed gang members. The fanny pack became the object of the robbery.
Feel free to DM for further.
PS. I’m a big fan of your channel and truly appreciate all you do for the 2A community.
That is like saying cell phones are dumb because s thief might see it and try to steal it (happens s lot in my area) what I think is truly dumb are people who leave guns in their truck and get their trucks broken into and their car stolen. My best friend is a DPS agent. This happened to him.
@@alrbredwall Except the cell phone isn't housing a firearm that could be used against you if removed from your control...
@ODARuination you really missed the point here
No, you just made a terrible comparison.
@ODARuination no. The comparison is fine. Your initial statement was that fanny packs are tactically unsound because a thief sees it and decides to conduct a robbery. I then stated that by that logic, displaying any type of high value item is also tactically unsound and can still incentivize a robbery.
You then retorted by saying except the cell phone isn't a gun. This makes no sense. I never stated the cell phone was a gun or housed a gun. My point is that if you are carrying a gun and you display something of value to a thief, be it a bag or a cell phone, you will be met with the same effect. If you happen to be carrying a gun on your person when this happens you run the same chance of losing your gun or having to use your gun. Your claim that fanny packs are tactically unsound is about as accurate as saying that using your cell phone in public is also dumb.
" You dont need 10 guns" yeah OK.
Good one Chris. Loved the crack about Winchester ammo! Thanks.
Another GREAT video Chris!!! Very informative...Thank you
Never over customize your conceal carry just in case you do get into a situation and go to court, so they dont pin the “you have such a over customized gun, it seems like you PUT yourself into a situation into wanting to kill someone”
Thank you Chris for another informative vid. Practical and concise.
Blessings of grace, mercy, peace, and love Brother Chris "Mr. HonestOutlaw"
This is a great list and definitely not what I was expecting. Great video.
This is one of your best information videos ever. Thank you
Amazing video and summary! Great reminders. Thank you!
Great list and well presented, brother. God bless you both!
Train, Train, Train. I'm taking a course again this fall with Carry Trainer, 4 day course of Firearms, Hand to Hand and MEDICAL training. Get experienced in all of these things. Go have fun at it and learn. Hopefully, EVERYTHING YOU PRACTISE, you may never need, but if something happens, you'll know how to handle yourself and do it right. Be safe everyone!!!!
Wish I could like this twice. So many factors go into personal protection and self defense besides shooting. Awesome post
Used my Shield plus at a class a couple months back. Everyone else used a full sized pistol and told me i was going to have a tough time "keeping up"
I practice with what i carry. Period! Everything else is just for fun
This is confidence-inspiring. Yall are a great team. Proud to know ya.
great list, definitely will work on a few of these
