California Dreaming

Overcast Mornings Take Me Back There is nothing quite like a San Diego County morning. The marine layer is just like the mornings we are having here in North Texas right now – overcast almost to being foggy, and a needed break from the hot morning sun that will finally come out around noon, as lazily as any photojournalist catching the last wave before heading in to work the two-to-eleven shift.…

Texas Fly Fishing Report

MID-AUGUST Hotter-N-Hell! What we have here, is a brain boil, and nothing less. Thanks for coming around to take a look at yet another in the years-long struggle to make some video along the way, STICK TO the wall. Needless to say, these are pretty happy times, except for the fly fishing that is … heat and wind are taking a toll in days in weeks off the water. It makes the open calm very…

The main body of Angie's shoes are gonna be leather. I rethought my wet forming clamping, and I'm really happy with this one! Now to let this dry for like, a whole friggin' day lol. For the sole I might just shape up some kydex and cement a block of wood on for the heel. But if I have enough veg tan scraps, I might just make them entirely outta leather. I'll worry about that when I get to it lol.

Milt Sparks Double 1911 Mag Pouch

This may seem like a boring duty belt accessory for your average early 2000's cop, but make no mistake - these were a significant part of Delta Force belt kit and are incredibly scarce today.

At least everyone says these were made by Milt Sparks, there's effectively zero information on them outside of operator testimony.

They're also actually a very effective retention system, especially for the late 90's/early 2000's before kydex was the universal standard. I can see why Delta liked these.

I'm more than likely going to pick up the TangoDown Vickers Mag Pouches, seeing as those are a direct clone of these but for 9mm/.40 Glock Mags.

Pt. 0. Introduction

Shortly after the 2024 USA election results were announced I was contacted by several of my friends in the queer community with requests for advice regarding firearms ownership and concealed carry. Since many queer people seem to be looking for information on how to protect themselves I decided I would compile some documents on the subject so you won’t have to crawl through so much information written by people who hate you.

So why should you pay any attention to what I have to say? I hold several instructor ratings through the National Rifle Association, have carried a gun on my person every day for the last four years, and have taken courses in self defense (armed and unarmed), combative pistol use, trauma first aid, and low light shooting. That being said, I’m not a lawyer and I mostly do this as a hobby. This is all based on my personal experience, if I reference someone else’s experience I’ll do my best to link their work.

This will be a series of short essays with the goal of explaining some of the most common terminology you’ll run into in the firearms space and giving you a basic idea of the mindset, tactics, skill, and gear you need to effectively protect yourself and the people you care about.

Much of what I’ve learned has been from the late James Yeager of Tactical Response and as such a lot of the information here will echo his teachings, especially the focus on mindset over all else.

“But Corvid,” you say, “I don’t want to wait for you to write a series of essays. I want answers now.” Fine. Let’s talk about safety.

There are either three or four rules for safe gun handling depending on who you ask. Since I’m not operating in my capacity as an NRA instructor there are four.

As written by Jeff Cooper, they are:

1.All guns are always loaded Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.

2.Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. (For those who insist that this particular gun is unloaded, see Rule 1.)

3.Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target. This is the Golden Rule.

4.Identify your target, and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you have not positively identified. [1]

Over time these rules have been modified to be safer and more effective but following them as Mr. Cooper wrote them will still prevent unfortunate accidents. Modern versions of the four rules will be discussed later in the essays in the safety section.

“Alright,” you say, “I’m not going to blow my own face off. But what do I buy?”

There is a great deal of consternation in the firearm community about the optimal carry gun, and we will discuss some of that in a later essay. If you are absolutely determined to get a gun right now this second, here’s what you should get:

1. A Glock 19 as it comes from the factory, no fancy doodads and add-on’s.

2. At least two factory Glock magazines, the third party mags break too easily (most handguns will come with two magazines anyway)

3. A solidly built, kydex holster that fully covers the trigger guard (mine is from NSR tactical but there are plenty of reputable manufacturers)

4. A sturdy belt designed to carry a gun. No, your super cool graphic canvas one from Hot Topic won’t work (Galco Gunleather is the industry standard. Just make sure it’s sturdy and specifically designed to carry a gun)

5. Enough quality hollow point ammunition to fill both magazines (9mm 115 gr. JHP. Show the dude at the counter. He knows what it means. We’ll talk about it in a later essay. Speer Gold Dot is the industry standard here)

6. Training from a reputable source (Cousin Billy who was in the army knows just enough to get you hurt, I promise. We’ll talk about training companies in, you guessed it, a later essay)

I spent 20+ years in the army and ran this loadout on deployments. Gen 1 D3CR rig, wings with kydex inserts for 2 mags each. It was modified to use tubes (same as on plate carrier cummerbund). My plate carrier has the same pouch setup on the cummerbund.

Right Wing: 2 rifle mags, PVS14 padded pouch, cat7 w/sharpie

Left Wing: 2 rifle mags, Cat7, double mag pouch (extra mags or water bottle

Main rig: Admin pouch on backside w/cheat book, notebook, map markers. 4 rifle mags, 2 pistol mags, compass, whistle, earpro, lens wipes, mini paints/sharpies, litefighter gloves, duct tape, lighter, Gerber multitool.

Roll1 IFAK pouch: Army IFAK + Gerber shears. (recently added the pouch) I like the fast deployment of the Ifak and the pouch retention on the items.

FFXIV Amaurotine mask in the works along with some grimoires. I tried out using epoxy with some kydex pieces to make swappable clips for the headband. Seems to work pretty great! I always kinda hated having visible rivets on my masks since I kinda had less faith in adhesives so I went with a mechanical bond with rivets. Put a decent amount of pull on the clips and they definitely feel rock solid. And didn't annoy my face when test fitting it on myself. It'll fit even better when I add the foam padding.
