Improving The Draw: IWB & Closed-Front Garments

Demonstrating with a C&G Holsters GEN6 IWB inside-the-waistband holster, Joe Kurtenbach discusses how to draw with a closed front garment. Whether carrying in the appendix position or behind the hip, the key is to fully clear the cover garment to provide unobstructed access to the grip of the gun.

Improving The Draw: AIWB Accuracy

When shooters struggle to clear the garment for an appendix-inside-the-waistband (AIWB) draw, it's usually because they can't get the right grip. Using a GEN6 IWB Alpha rig from C&G Holsters to demonstrate, Joe Kurtenbach suggests using a natural reference point like the navel for gripping the cover garment.

Improving The Draw: One-Hand Operations

For any number of reasons, an armed defender may not be able to use both hands for drawing the gun or performing a reload. Appendix-carry IWB holsters like the GEN6 MOD1 from C&G Holsters help simplify these operations by positioning both the gun and extra ammo in a central, front-of-the-body location that is accessible by either hand. Here, Joe Kurtenbach offers considerations for one-handed performance.

CCI Uppercut .22 LR Ammunition for Self-Defense

In response to the demand for defensive-use rimfires, CCI developed the Uppercut for .22 Long Rifle (LR). The projectiles feature nose skiving and weigh 32 grains and are optimized for dependable use in semiautomatic pistol barrels measuring between 2½ and 4 inches. Unlike typical .22 ammunition, Uppercut has been tested in 10-percent ballistic gel, producing 8- to 10-inches of penetration with controlled expansion. Some shooters depend on .22-caliber pistols for defense for various reasons, including increased capacity, hand strength, recoil sensitivity, and dexterity challenges. When paired with CCI Uppercut, the .22 LR offers the potential to deliver a knockout against a violent threat.

Caldwell VelociRadar Chronograph

The Caldwell VelociRadar provides accurate velocity information of projectiles downrange with Chirp radar technology that detects a bullet and provides a complete assessment of its performance. In addition to true velocity, VelociRadar calculates ballistic coefficient (BC) and energy. VelociRadar is not affected by poor light conditions as chronographs with light sensors, and users on a public range don't have to wait for a cease fire to setup and use VelociRadar. A ball-head tripod is included, which makes it convenient for use on a shooting bench. Controls are intuitive, as is the compatible, free Caldwell app that can be downloaded to remotely control and manage data from the chronograph.

Canik TTI Combat: Full Review

Taran Tactical Innovations (TTI) and Turkish firearm maker Canik have joined forces to produce a fully-featured, competition-ready 9mm pistol. The compensated handgun shoots flat and will accommodate a variety of popular slide-mounted red dots thanks to its deep optic cut. The controls are all ambidextrous, and the sub-4-pound trigger is one of the best in the industry. Even with all its bells and whistles, the most surprising aspect of the Canik TTI Combat may be its price. Guns & Ammo's Joe Kurtenbach has the full review.
