For anyone new to concealed carrying or getting into it, no one will notice you’re carrying unless they also concealed carry. Also, don’t cheap out on your ammo, gun, attachments, holster and make sure you train. Buy what you are comfortable with. Most important things to get first is the gun and quality ammo. Holster can be changed later red dot can always be added as can the light but if youre uncomfortable with the gun you’ve wasted money and will be crying for a 2nd time. Buy once cry once. Your expensive gun won’t save you if you can’t shoot well. If you have to decide between quality ammo or lets say a red dot get quality ammo. You should still know how to aim with iron sights in case your red dot takes a shit so red dot it not needed but is nice to have. Get used to the basics before trying to become faster with lets say a shot timer. Speed is dangerous if you don’t know the basics.

@@GabrielGarcia-ul9mg i carry a Smith and Wesson M&P9 Compact, but really any compact 9mm from a trustworthy brand (Smith, Glock, Ruger, Steyer, Berreta, probably some others that i can't think of) is gonna be my recommendation. I can't make a specific recc without knowing your control level, hand size, experience etc, but M&P and Glock are a good place to start. Almost any gun shop will allow you to handle handguns on display, just go check out what feels right in your hand and try to visualize or think about your needs on the daily basis. like Prep said, if something is inconvenient you will not carry it.

@GulfCoastGrit2 жыл бұрын
@@GabrielGarcia-ul9mg Don't know if you've already made your purchase but try this; ask if they can take out as many different pistols as possible and lay them on the counter. Go to each one without really looking at them and pick one up at a time. Best practice is to close your eyes while doing it. When you pick it up, ask yourself "does this feel like I'm holding a gun?" I know that sound silly, but focus on it. Pick two or three pistols that feel the most like you are holding a weapon and not a hunk of metal/plastic. Then, take the winners from that experiment. Get a good grip and drive the gun out in front of you like you've drawn it. Ideally, one of those guns will naturally come up with sights aligned and the gun on target where you are looking. If it feels right in the hand and points naturally when you present it, then you have found the right one. NOTE: It does not have to be a small gun. If the right one ends up being larger than what you expected then that's just what it is. Keep an open mind. The right tool for you is the one that you will use and train with and is comfortable. Last point I'll make is this; Even the Gucciest of Glocks and the Sexiest of Sigs fall short to the real hotness: training. A Hi-Point in skilled hands is 1000% better than Kimber Custom in novice hands. Get good training. Practice the basics like Allen said (deliberate practice at the slowest speed you can muster. Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast). Hope that helps and good luck Gabriel.

7:58 Friendly advice: 1. When racking the slide to chamber a round, pull back and then let go. Do not assist/push/hang on to the slide when going forward into battery. 2. I'd recommend loading a +1 if you dont already. Full mag +1 manually loaded. 3. I'd also recommend loading your pistol into the holster first, and then put the holstered weapon on your belt. Less chance of blowing your junk off if the trigger catches. 4. Please upgrade your trigger. 5. Nice setup. If you have any issues with slippery grip, try Talon Grips. I put the sandpaper version on all my firearms. Solid grip even if your hands are wet with blood or water.

Unfortunately I don't carry much if not any medical gear for my EDC. I was a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy, but literally all of my skills mean nothing in the civilian world. I only recently started carrying a firearm, and that's because more and more situations have happened where I would have preferred to have them. It sucks knowing I have the skill set to use things like a decomp needle, but liability is such a huge risk. Unless it's a family member, I wouldn't use most of my skills. For that reason alone I stopped carrying anything medical except in my car and on hikes. But the turnaround is that knowing when to act and having that ability is almost more important than actually carrying things. I saw a car accident where someone had this really nice kit in their truck, but the guy was so shaken up. No concussion, no serious damage to his vehicle, and he was still a deer in the headlights. I assessed both parties but it was the one time EMS got there in a timely manner, and I just walked away. So, it's not really by choice, but I take the risk of not carrying medical EDC. But I trust my ability to act, and like you said, a shirt can solve a lot of bleeding problems worse case.

The RMT, and other mechanical TQ like the SAM XT, have moving parts that can be fouled by sand, debris, etc. Also, none of these are easy to self-apply, especially one handed. These also don’t meet the TCCC specifications nor the new OSHA specs for workplace trauma kits. A windlass is required to meet these specifications. SWAT-T is the best for pediatric, geriatric, and k9 applications. It’s also a great pressure dressing. It’s not suitable for self-application, realistically. Carrying one windlass TQ and one SWAT-T is the best plan, period.

@@bravowhiskey4684 The TX2 and TX3 are approved by TCCC as of 2019. Your statement about one-handed application tells me you have never tried it, which is understandable if you only use CAT. I have yet to see a single example of fouling in the racheting mechanism and, looking at one, I don't see a point where that would be a problem. Will test. Any tourniquet that doesn't let you practice with it (CAT-7 requires you to use a "training-only" tourniquet that you can't use in the field) or expose it to normal elements (i.e. the sun) is useless for everything I do. This doesn't even get into the mechanical simplicity of the RMT compared to the CAT.

@@zfjames interesting that those were accepted, I was not aware. As for the training TQ, that’s not accurate; Refuge Medical has several confirmed saves by customers with their instructor/class kits, including the blue CAT trainer.

@@bravowhiskey4684 Oh for sure, they do technically work to save lives. My point is that the "official recommendation" heavily favours the RMT because you can train with an RMT and you're not supposed to train with your carry CAT. Either way I think both are technically valid, but I use the RMT because it is mechanically simpler to me, a simple man

Just read a comment from another video which the commentor said his EDC included carrying a MP5K in his backpack... I told him it was stupid for him to carry such a gun in his backpack because if someone attacked him he be beaten or killed before he could grab his MP5K out of his backpack. Also I explained to him the primary reason why most people's EDC involve a handgun is because such a gun is easily stored on your body, can be concealed at easy to reach locations on your body, and can be quickly used against attacker(s). I'm not a guy who carries a gun for EDC at the moment, yet I'm rational enough to understand why carrying a MP5K in your backpack is dumb!

I have to admit, I’m very surprised that you carry all of those more obscure items in your ankle kit (needle, airway), but not a chest seal. Am I missing something? I’m building out an EDC ankle kit currently and I was planning on stocking it with a SOF-T, quick clot gauze, and a compact vented chest seal (twin pack), and possibly a compression bandage and/or shears if I felt I had the extra room. Do you recommend against carrying a chest seal now? Seems likely that someone could be shot in the chest/lung in a civilian context. Thanks!

unless you are a place where it takes paramedics longer than 1h to reach then a chestseal or decomp needle really isnt necessary

at 13:50, you said the NPA would be useful for patients with head trauma. Aren't NPA's are contraindicated for patients with skulls fractures, facial trauma, and/or visible CSF? Just curious, and would like some clarification.

Old teaching. You can use NPA’s in head trauma provided it isn’t completely massive trauma to the point where you truly suspect a direct pathway to their brain

Im note sure but I heard quick clot needs to be cut out by surgeons? Like some times medics in the military wouldn’t put it on someone just because they know it needs to get cut out? Or is it that black powder they pour on wounds? I might not know what im talking about. Just curious

Better to have the bleeding stopped fast and cut it out later. PT needs to be alive first to get it cut out. But I can see where you're concerend. Like that TQ. People are were concerned about losing a limb but it's better to lose that than your life.

So Im a little late to the vid, but just out of curiousity, is there any reason your not carrying a chest seal? I feel like if your carrying an NCD, it would make a lot of sense if you were to carry a chest seal. I understand you can make an improvised one pretty easy, but to me I feel like it would just make more sense to have one on hand
