It’s about time to take another look at the Heckler & Koch VP9 Match and see how my opinion has evolved after having spent a fair amount of quality time with it.
The Glock G48 MOS is a good reliable slimline 9mm pistol with a lot of potential to be a great conceal carry option. Some of the features leave a bit to be desired and may fall short of some folks’…
The quest to find the perfect every day defensive carry pistol seems never ending. However, the Glock 48, after some tweaking, promises to be quite the contender. And thus, the quest continues.

Not all magazine pouches are created equal. There are a lot of good ones and bad ones out there, but I’m really digging Esstac’s magazine pouches which I’ve recently got my hands on.
