When you see a 9mm GLOCK in a pocket dump it’s usually a GLOCK 19. Sometimes a GLOCK 17. A “compact crossover” G45 is more unusual, but that’s what we have here. There are differences in size between the G17 and the G45 (although they’re not extreme). For example, the G17 has an overall length … Read more
This particular gun has popped up before in pocket dumps, but what interests me is actually the note the owner of the gun included: “As I came into my room and prepared to relax a bit, I removed these items from my pockets and thought to share them as they lay. I would’ve organized them, … Read more
This daily carry shows a Glock 19 with a few aftermarket additions including an RMR and a Streamlight WML with a laser. Here’s the question. Do you think this particular WML is enough for a carry gun since it has a laser or do you think the RMR is a good partner for it? Conversely, … Read more

The XD-S has a 3.3-inch barrel, a length of 6.3 inches, and a height of 4.4 inches with the flush magazine. It’s chambered in 9mm and has a 7 +1 capacity. So instead of … Read more

If you carry a secondary means of self-defense such a knife or OC spray, have you … Read more
This pocket dump is from someone “up north” – Santa? – and features a Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0. The M2.0 is a nice pistol with some solid upgrades over the original line. Changes include more aggressively textured grips, something that affects different shooters in varying ways but does ensure a secure grip – and … Read more
Quite a few electronics here – a Dell, a smart phone, an iPad – and also a pair of electrician’s scissors and a utility knife. The gun is a Ruger LCP II which is leaps and bounds ahead of the original LCP. The trigger is improved, the grip is better – it’s an excellent improvement … Read more
The GLOCK 19 Gen5 is a great carry pistol. Personally I was thrilled to see GLOCK had removed the finger grooves for this newest generation. The flared mag well is a nice change, too. Enough changes were made to the Gen5 for me to truly love a GLOCK 19 for the first time (I do … Read more
