I’ve recently been testing the G2C compact 9mm handgun, which Taurus graciously agreed to lend me after speaking with them at the SHOT show. I was attracted to the gun because of it’s compact size, magazine capacity, external safety, and general ergonomics. It also didn’t hurt that when I requested an evaluation gun the Taurus rep uttered the 5 words every woman loves to hear… “What color would you like?”
I must admit that when I discovered the retail price of the gun I was, at once, surprised and more than a little suspicious of the quality of a handgun that cheap. However, seeing is believing, and my instinct was that there is a lot of value in the G2C.

“How much does this kick?”
This is the most common question I hear when I bring a new shooter to the range, and understandably so! Having an idea of what to expect is comforting, so you’re not surprised by the blast. Looking to provide a recoil resource for my readers, and also because I was curious, I decided to compare the recoil of several popular handguns to see how they differed.
Check out my latest post for the results!

Is hand strength an important factor when choosing a firearm? Most shooters can take hand strength for granted; but for many people, simple operations like loading a magazine, pulling back a slide, or clearing a jammed bullet can become barriers to the safe and effective use of a pistol. The ability to operate your firearm every time without delay or failure is important, sometimes critically important.
For this post I decided to compare the slide tension of several popular handguns. Click the link below to see how they ranked!

I’m a petite, shooter and prefer to carry micro compact handguns, so I’ve enjoyed watching gun makers compete to increase the magazine capacity in this firearm category.
Today I’m reviewing the Hellcat, Springfield’s newest micro 9 handgun. With it, they claim to have the world’s highest capacity 9 millimeter micro compact! Sig Saur was first to shatter the 6 bullet (+1 in the chamber) ceiling in the micro subcompact world with their P365 by providing a 10-round magazine plus one in the chamber. Now Springfield has one upped them with the Hellcat’s 11+1.
I’ve been anxious to see for myself what it’s like to carry and fire this handgun and I’m sharing all my thoughts with you on the blog!

Fabric-friendly holster Clips! An important consideration when choosing a holster for carrying inside the waistband is the type of clip it uses to secure to the waist of your garment. Most are designed to attach to a belt, but I’ve found two options, Fabriclip and Ulticlip, that are made to attach to fabric instead. Not a fan of belts? Now you can carry a kydex holster inside your waistband without one! Not only that but, they also make it easier to secure your gun to purses, backpacks, an inside coat pocket, etc.
If you’re interested in trying one of these fabric-friendly holster clips you’ll have to decide for yourself which you prefer, but today, I’ll share my experience to help inform your choice. Don’t miss today’s post :)

I’ve always appreciated the smell of gun powder. To me, it smells like freedom! It’s also nostalgic and brings back memories of my dad teaching me how to shoot pop cans with a little 22 rifle. Until recently, I never stopped to consider how those fumes can be toxic to our bodies. How can you protect yourself from breathing lead dust at the range? Check out today’s blog post to find out!

In 2016, I decided to purchase my first 9mm firearm. After doing lots of research and trying several guns, I narrowed down my options to the Glock 43 and the M&P Shield. I liked them both but in the end I chose the Shield because it felt comfortable in my hands and offered an external safety where the Glock did not. After four years and a lot more shooting experience, I’m taking a second look at the Glock 43 and have noticed some amazing things that I missed before. Click the link below for the full review!

Hello friends! Hope you’re having a great day! A few weeks ago I shared my desire to “Stay Fit to Stay Safe” and how I believe working out and self-protection go hand in hand. But how can you ensure you’re able to protect yourself WHILE working out? One of the most difficult challenges I faced when I first started to carry a firearm was finding a way to carry while exercising. Today I’m sharing a solution. Because I’ve had such a great experience with the Dene Adams Phantom 2 concealed carry leggings, I wanted to share with you! You can see the full review by clicking the link below.

Hi friends! If you’ve had any of the thoughts below, you need to read my latest blog post!
I’d like to be able to protect myself, but I’m not ready to carry a gun
I’d prefer non-lethal self-protection
I have my concealed carry permit, but during the winter my coat makes accessing my firearm tricky.
I’m a busy gal so my self-defense tool needs to be quick and easy.
Everyone deserves to feel safe and protected! But not every one wants to (or can) carry a firearm. Today on the blog, I’m reviewing a less lethal option, the Taser Pulse +. Come see what makes this stun gun different from the rest! Plus, if you need gift ideas for the holidays, Taser makes a creative, practical and proactive gift ;)
