A friend of mine noticed a sketchy guy at a gas station one night. The guys started heading in his direction until my friend made eye contact with him and put his hand in his jacket pocket. He did not have his firearm, but he acted like he was staging a firearm in his jacket pocket and the guy turned away from him. Sometimes even just being aware can help you avoid trouble.
Wow, that's crazy! Could have probably gone really bad had the sketchy guy not noticed that or cared!
It works, Also God of the Bible is MERCIFUL. turn to Jesus Christ before NWO/WEF murder us good folks.
Good thing the guy didn't call his bluff and keep approaching. You and your friend would have been in trouble. 💀💀
Those dang Mormons always approaching us.
Or maybe your friend just scared the shit out of someone with anxiety lol
Situational awareness is crucial and I'm always in that mode NO MATTER WHERE I AM !
As a fellow veteran, I use a similar “Denny’s” scenario as a teaching tool also. Simple rule, people start getting loud and aggressive, and you don’t know the people involved, it’s time to go. Also scan the entire area before moving, just in case the loud interaction was being used as a distraction for some other action.
Absolutely.
I look forward to winter in Tn most of all since I can finally carry a 6" doublestacked 10mm in a shoulder holster.
If The Joker can carry a 21 inch barreled S&W 15-3, so can you!
@@sahlomonic hahaha I keep an Fal under there too!
Need big ass hands to carry that monster. Like a deagle
@@spearshaker7974 it is. Almost as heavy too so it's kinda like shouldering a minisledge. Just about 4 lbs loaded with light.
Sounds like an AMT Hardballer
"what you wear matters" is a perfect sumup. really hammers home the whole "function over fashion" thing when it comes to your everyday wear. awesome vid, thanks!
Function over fashion is an old school way of thinking that, in my opinion, needs to come back. So many men (and women for that matter) are worried about how they look vs actually being able to function in life that it deters them from being able to do menial tasks. Watched a guy in skinny jeans the other day try to pick up the keys hey dropped in Walmart….funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time😂
One upside to cooler weather is you don’t have to worry about printing as much. As always great information.
Mike,
I am new to the channel and really enjoy all of the content thus far. Also, I am a clinical psychologist and all of the psychological principles you have in your videos is fantastic. Great attention to detail. Thanks.
I used to carry a 1911 during winter but just continued to use Sig P365 XL. It just makes sense for comfort and capacity. I’m not going to miss the caliber. SD 9mm shows ballistics that equal 45ACP too so that was a selling point to me. The whole stopping power isn’t as real as some would like to think.
I have only seen one jacket with pockets like that ever and it was a long raincoat that was handed down to me from my uncle I was wondering why the hell there were open slots in the pockets like that thought it was stupid, but thanks to this video, now I know what they are for. I will be wearing that jacket even more now.
Basically a good comercial for the vortex jacket Lol. But i agree man always having the advantage or preparedness makes it a better outcome for you.
Mike, this advice is spot on!! In the winter, my P220 and 1911 are in my rotation. In the spring and fall, my P365XL is my go to gun. For summer, my P938 is my go to gun. Texas summers are no joke
It always fascinates me how you drop a video that answers something my friends and I are currently discussing. I can't wait for the opportunity to attend some of your classes in person
Hello sir! Hope you're fine. When i saw your posted question on youtube about edc choice, i knew that a video is coming. I really love the content you make and how you are teaching many of us (not only americans) through your online videos.
I carried turkish made 9mm full size handgun *Zigana F* but now i switched to glock 19. After i saw your video about g19. Thank you sir for educating us
Thank you so much. God bless you.
Lots of love and a salute from Your Pakistani Student😊
So much info i got, n learnt lots of stuff from you n sir shawn rayn.
You should mention also, (in a dennys type scenario) to utilize the other guys around you. You don’t have to go solo. Make eye contact with other capable people around you. For instance, I took my family out for lunch today and made eye contact and smiled with the other dads around me. Just a simple nod when shit goes down can cue up a team willing to protect those around you with no verbal communication.
Lol. You watch too many movies.

@@3nertia true!
I feel like I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Old dogs can learn new tricks and thank you for the great videos.
Good Stuff Mike ! Keep dropping knowledge! I’m 6’4” and 290 and have always carried a full size pistol even with shorts and a T shirt for more then 20 plus years ! Full size firing grip at all times for me
Fellow Sasquatch here. Same with the full-size! It’s incredible the objective difference running, really running, a full-size gun compared to a compact or smaller for me.
I choose massive capability gain over a slight gain in comfort. That said, as an instructor in this space I absolutely advocate for people finding the firearm with the right fit to enhance their capability 😉
I am envious, seriously. I am 5'7". If I carry a service size gun, it looks like I am hiding a toaster. Rock on.
Im 5'9" 180 I can get away with carrying a full size pistol all year round.
How do you sit down with appendix carry? My dun lap gets in the way.....6'2 295
@@mrt4088 I don’t carry appendix either! I have the same problem! 😂😂
the simple comment of the keys in the jacket pocket to for the added weight when throwing it to your side was big brain
I carry the G45 iwb ,zt0350,Bic lighter, spear mag,tourniquet, wallet, soe belt ,flash light,and a tdi fixed blade year round. I don't change anything based on Weather.
Great advice. Trust your instincts. Most of us can sense when something feels "off" in an area.
Nothing wrong with pre-engagement preparation on the possibility that you may need it.
If you don't ultimately need to engage, you've lost nothing.
Same with everyone and ARs pistols , it’s easy to want to go short whenever you have significant others that are smaller stature. So they can have a better tool for the situation. THANKS MIKE GREAT VIDEO AND ITS APPRECIATED.
Wow thank you Mike! I have not heard it quite put like that before…
Excellent stuff! Be well.
Glover I appreciate the hell outta you . Outfuckingstanding !
Excellent advice/mindset. Thank you. And thank you for your service.
I order the vertx hoodie for the same reason especially when I’m driving. I carry a full-size M&p with an rmr and I personally like to have it staged to draw if needed. Definitely like the tips that you give about edc. Realistic
I eat this stuff up man, so much detail to consider. I love it.
Mike love your channel & that bit with DJ was phenomenal
1 thing that always stuck with me as that if i am carrying, every fight i get in there is a gun involved. I always try to consider space from conflict so i can try to keep a fist fight from turning into a shooting.
Well said. You do a fantastic job, and your doing good everyday people a great service. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experinece to us who does not see weapons in everyday life.
Great video and I've always been the type of person always watching and aware of my surroundings. I live in a very very warm climate with sunshine over 300 days a year. Summertime in PHX is brutal. I've been using a Vertex sling bag with a kydex velcro holster with my G 19 and two spare mags. Very easy to stage or get to easily. Spent as much for the bag and holster as my Glock. Keep making great videos.
Thank you for your videos
Always good info, that makes you think. Thanks Mike!
Love your insight. Thank you!
Hey Mike, I officially qualified as an old guy this year, no not that year, add ten. This is great teaching. I've been shooting, reloading, casting my target ammo for somewhere around four decades. I've never had the budget to have a multiple choice EDC so dressing for carry has been paramount. Theses days I have more options, still dressing for carry. I recently subscribed as I recognize good protocols when I seen them, (okay, except for the Glock fan-boy stuff). Yes, I'd surely not turn one down, just never have owned one though have shot a few. I like 'em, not the grip angle. I'm good with what I have. Keep it coming and thanks.
Always look forward to your input as practical and very knowledgeable.
Preciate the video, it's common sense, yet easy to overlook. The jacket and the access to the weapon and manipulation of same was my key takeaway.
Word. Thank you Sgt Major.
Timely video for me as I was just in MI visiting family.
Stay safe n be well n keep em coming
One of the *Must Informative* video's I've ever watched .. *Great Content .. Thank you*
Please just drove passed the shop, thank you for the awesome vids they are very helpful!!!!!! Shop looks cool plan on stopping by
Allready set up for cold! Looking forward to mabye some more ideas
I had an encounter where the dude was twice my size. I was like a small dog barking. I knew that if this guy gets working on me the only thing I could do is poke him with my knife. I remember him saying something about don't interfere with me disciplining my daughter. It was the punch to her neck that sent me into sheepdog mode. He was later detained as I stayed on the phone with 911 as they pursued him.
.
Nice video! Thanks for sharing not only facts but situations that might take place.
Good points. Yup I have big hands, compact frames don't give me the confidence I need. Sig's x-carry grip fits me best and still accepts fullsize or compact slides. Best of both world in my use case.
Just love video's like this thanks Mike.
Keys in the pocket. Great tip!
Here is one for you - jacket waistband drawstring plastic clamps that “tink/click” on a hard kydex OWB holster. Cut them out or glue felt onto them. 👍
Great vids bro! ABN
Awesome hint with the car keys. Thank you for that one!!
Theo Von says everything in Dennys is sticky, tastes like onions, and the waitresses have whiskers. Haha
Thanks SMG🇺🇸
Such a great no bs, teacher
Brilliant points and ideas!
Maintain situational awareness for sure and be prepared as possible.
I thought I was the only one who has ever thought of this, but of course not. Thanks for sharing this knowledge and in will be sure to check out this jacket.
Great video, thanks 👍🏻
Mike,
Good tips. Like most I have a drawer full of holsters that didn't make the cut for real life situations.
Like the holster, and jacket.
Keys in the front pocket to buy you a bit more time to draw, pre-stashing your shirt behind the weapon... The brilliance is in the simplicity of these tips.
We have to get the internet on board with his teachings so he will continue his amazing teachings . I don’t know you personally sir but would love to meet you . You have taught me so much through out the years on RUclips. I’m not one to buy online courses but I’d love to do some one on ones with you in Austin . . I’ve had multiple dealings with guys, on their time , 6 days after moving into our new duplex in Pflugerville I got punched in the back of the head while cutting some wood for a shelf I was building . Thank God the cops weren’t having a bad day bc I didn’t get arrested. I sleep with a Glock 45x under my pillow (it’s a 17,19 mix) fantastic gun. I hate having to live like this but bc I do have to live this way, it would be awesome to get some real training from a pro.
In the spring:summer in PA I appendix carry a glock 19. During the fall/winter I carry a glock 22 (which was my service weapon) or a S&W M&P full sized .40 at 9 o’clock because I’m a lefty.
Never heard the term “self offensive” before but I like the thought process of it. I’ve always taken training towards the DEFENSIVE side .
It’s gratifying that I’ve been doing this for 20 years because it’s common sense & practical.
Thank you Mike!!! Good Stuff!
Outstanding video.
I love your Realistic Options that we Can And Should Use when tasked with a Situation where Action has to be taken. I follow all of your Videos also Pod Cast. You are a Fantastic Man full of Knowledge to Help Anyone who Has the Mindset that we Must be Not a Sheep Dog always because sometimes We Have To Be The Wolf in Certain Circumstances. Love it.
Best E and E channel
PERIOD
I went from a full-size 1911 10mm, to a Sig P365, now I carry the Glock 43X, I prefer the Glock because of my hand size and the full grip with the compact slide. And it fits with the clothes I wear in the summer along with winter. I agree 100% clothing matters. I tend to wear more form fitting clothes, t-shirts, flannels that are form fitting, and even more form fitting hoodies, with the Glock, I feel I still get the full size feel with NO imprint. Great videos.
Just a Legend.. watching him explain how to properly clear a house. Put me on point as a civilian with no training. God Bless and keep up the great Content..
Thanks Mike's sharing, This is Cytac holster, we also have the iwb holster for 200+ Pistols😊.
I learn so much from u Mr. Glover. Thank u for making these videos. Does your field craft holster accommodate s&w m&p handguns? Or just glocks? Sig p220r? Looking for a few good iwb holsters for my handguns.
I just moved to Minnesota, and I've already been thinking about modifying the pocket so I can do the Clint Eastwood pocket draw. In my opinion under the shoulder under a jacket isn't good enough. Takes to long. Appendix is the only way to go for quick draw but heavy snow gear gets in the way. A concealed draw and possibly having to fire first rounds through coat. I'm aware this can cause malfunction. Another option is small enough carry gun for pocket draw. But then I worry it could fall out easier.
Always, good food for thought.
In my younger days when I could only afford a few guns, I carried a 1911 on and off duty. I still carry one when I can (with how I’m dressed).
Great information! SW bodyguard summer and IWI Jericho 2 in winter the only way for me to roll. 💪
Solid video and information.
Mike, a big THANK YOU for the educational posts. This was very useful. I think people get lost with the gun and doesn't zero into the platform. I like Kyle Lamb's comment that a subcompact is a 1/2 of a gun.
Good video, being reactive and not proactive is a mindset trap that many fall into due to lack of experience.
Really love this kind of discussion. I've always struggled with deep winter carry options. Right now, the normal temperatures are lows at night in the negatives (-5F) to during the day as a high as (20F). You need to wear gloves when out, so how do you handle those scenarios effectively? Drop the gloves and use hand warmers and hands in pockets?
I can carry shoulder holster under the coat, IWB or even OWB - not even a problem, there. It is more of how to deal, especially if there is potential of needing to respond quickly with the need to wear gloves to protect yourself from the elements.
Just my idea from working in the cold. Loose fitting mittens(nice ones maybe rabbit) kids clips to keep them on you so you can slap em off and go to work and pop em back on before your hands are cold
@@memyselfandi985 Absolutely agree on the need for additional training any time the "normal" changes.
I'm thinking that now, if possible, I'd run hands in pockets with warmers and only have the gloves on when essential, like shoveling snow, scraping the car or the like.
Appreciate the response and walking through it.
@@gerardocerecedes7002 That is also a great idea and very minimal. As @memyselfandI mentioned, going to have to do some additional reps to figure out the best way to keep these the gloves out of the way while drawing and coming up on target.
I can get there, just need to put in the work.
Thanks for the response and ideas!
Tear the mitts off. Clear the clothing.
Find good gloves that you can operate your weapon properly while wearing and get some training with gloves in because that’s a whole other learning curve adding gloves to the mix.
Well now you got me thinking.
He sold me on Solomans shoes immediately. "Why Solomans? Because I wanna shoot, move, and communicate."
During summer i carry a SigSauer P320 compact. Winter I carry my full size SigSauer P320 set up just like my duty carry all with Holosun 509T
That was excellent advice
This has been covered a long time ago and practiced for many years by me in New England and Alaska:
1 Have either pea coat, duffle coat, m65 etc--some clothing with body firmness not fleece
2 Have revolver in the coat pocket
3 In dynamic threat---put hand in pocket for staging
4 Great thing with revolver is shoot through pocket
5 Still have your standard carry pistol buried under the layers
Some real food for thought.
Springfield Hellcat for the Summer, CZ P10S for Fall and Spring and a Glock 19X for Winter.
Glock is the only one carried OWB in a retention holster.
Outstanding channel
Great post
Shield Plus 4” Performance Center optics ready model for summer carry and FN 509C MRD for winter carry
Thanks
Carhartt t-shirts have a perfect cut for CCW. I carry a 19X with an extended magazine (+3) in an IWB. Doesn't print at all.
I've carried a full size vp9 at 3oclock with no problem in the summer
Would love to see a version of that holster for a full size FN 509
I've done both 1:00 and 3:30 carry and have settled on 3:30 in order to blade myself to the possible threat in order to conceal the draw. Plus blading my body allows me to have my gun farthest from the bad guy and use my leveraging arm of needed. I'm also 5'8"/160 and my wife pointed out many times carrying appendix that when the wind blew she could see the outline of my gun. This is from the person who knows I home carry and will accidentally bump my gun giving me a hug and say she didn't realize I had it on me.
Blading is great in a head on scenario, but what if someone comes from any other direction? I understand your logic and what works for you, keep doing it cuz atleast you’re carrying. I carry appendix because there is next to 0% chance of someone getting it out of my holster even in a wresting match. It keeps everything in front of me where I can protect it. If you print more, you probably need to invest in a better holster like a tier 1 concealed. I have half a dozen or more holster I’ve tried and can now carry my “Gucci” glock 19 very easily. I’m 6’ 165lbs, so I have zero hips which means anything other than appendix prints like no other.
Love the channel bro keep it up. 🇺🇸
