The Debrief - Is This EDC Tactic Your Only Option (and Should You Do It)?

Keeping your handgun readily accessible at all times is indeed a challenge. All sorts of factors come into play, including the size and weight of your preferred carry pistol, clothing worn, time of the year, and the social environment in which you operate. 113/c2jPK04/VVY7pL67zd57W7Gn61j2tCjgCW6J3_6X5ggpskN24tzwd3qgyTW7lCdLW6lZ3m0W7Z2Tv17fJ_h-W6ybN0r45bvnzVhJtjN1HQ5nZW5J1X9h2F6417F1NJPMg6sd7W6jjNXk1rM5JmW2lZCwj7_YDdDW6-w5ZC96Fmy7W1-K6gD4ZwH3cVCQ8XW4Y0K71W21fmyF2fSyXNW6d9GhR6SPV0CW8Xfdyn4CZ-CJW6Yc5Xf4jzhrzW5fDgkS5Qcz5QW7qHSX-7kjgq-W7np9dX3Xf_JfVT-k911W7-phW48hBt32sq-ZsW51kX2Q7Y9bHMW442lzl4Q1FXTW42022G3QwLLtW95Hq_G6H7FBnW1Mqw4t2L3mrff5sgl_v04 [tal-off-body-carry](113/c2jPK04/VVY7pL67zd57W7Gn61j2tCjgCW6J3_6X5ggpskN24tzwx3qgyTW7Y8-PT6lZ3mgW6SLcND5T5WJLW3zJsNL1_DmM4W4XWtNx6dxWx5W2Pxy7C7ld2dgW3QKXyG4RMYKSVgjGJG8XWtdLW2llPYd8xb8BDW13PmmR9ftv8RW3B21zk3lGZ3SW103qbc3k0J4RW5cPq5-6NVfVRN1b_1nHBvWSMW8xzBPt5G6rt4N47CqNVYZ6_wW5gxGfj11TkJ3W363XLk4rHrY2W4H9H2G1Zt5bJN6B4z4bL_nK4W1kwxbZ90dlbPW2_ffv21xSVyXW7RzBW57wHxdwW1y-1Nz7gWmH2VH6Btt3nQg39W8F4VFK5PLsqfN1-fMdT7mKv0W1brpPs2qFFpgf4MVkC-04) [IS THIS EDC TACTIC YOUR ONLY OPTION (AND SHOULD YOU DO IT)?](113/c2jPK04/VVY7pL67zd57W7Gn61j2tCjgCW6J3_6X5ggpskN24tzwx3qgyTW7Y8-PT6lZ3njW3Mwk6y7GhzV7W39KjX61QMZtwW8c4gd31dHmbDN9f4k5dfB7QfW7kpBhx6jKrwDN2nYJjK-4M_CW8QnhD779xH0WW2rSCd141fySHW8LmpWY6DBMtRN6Fq8stNKcCZW9c775866X2q4W5ZLdNC8G8YP1VcxCb67Hn5nNW6lSbqh6MBjYYW1PrklQ80Q1W4W3TjdVb3PtMdDW98w0QK5648MRVsLtrV4y5Ym4W7dyygv4SHQQ7W3YClrQ48YKyvW6ZkyWZ1x-zHzW47zT9C3Qq0X6W6ls3Z8869ffsV_PtRg26mQZrV-ZXRr897VjKW69GTBL1YPkrcf5TZ7YW04) By Mike Boyle June 13th, 2024 - Keeping your handgun readily accessible at all times is indeed a challenge.

First up, we have trainer and retired LEO Mike Boyle tell us about an EDC carry approach he treats as a last resort — but still viable tactic. Is it something you would do, or would you avoid? Check out his argument for it [here](113/c2jPK04/VVY7pL67zd57W7Gn61j2tCjgCW6J3_6X5ggpskN24tzwx3qgyTW7Y8-PT6lZ3m9W57Lnhz6yP2StW5JHrNT7ZGBC3W2s-MYp7_mM35W3pW0J950V5VRW1SN_XX1r7jqBW3Y7jkB2dNzlNW5fcgBr5dtv0DW2FjbMm4KrcrMW97Qv-X6Vt_8tW6k_YFT8PhbGlW3JnKll6SpmQbW6Q5S1p3TZSP5W5nW06R8fZRZlVz0vXc6z6pfMVdFRnv6yCCQRW38bD792mn87fW2FkCV21StKSXW72lFrF7pcgh6V5xJ1B6cz03RW304Ph85w9TrlW8d-k_68vws8ZN6XnrhSj96Y4W9cJT4G7Rd5_TW6cvQjb8pJphXW63Thpk3WmwWwW9f3cfj5yl3ZXf50-Cqx04). Next, we have Robert Sadowski take on the Central Operating Group system of the new Echelon pistol. Does it and the pistol’s grip module system undermine the whole point of custom grip modifications by gunsmiths?
