This small of the back holster was designed by my friend Chris back when he worked as an Air Marshal. He specializes in deep concealment holster, mag pouches and knife sheaths. All his holsters are truly custom, made to your specifications. If you have something you’d like to sheathe in kydex, drop him a line at chris@archangel-industries.com

Keltec RMR30 configured as shown (Gemtech 22wmr suppressor, Magpul BUIS, Primary Arms 3x scope) fired at 30 yards yielded this group of 8 shots. The carbine was rested on my camera bag. Each grid square is 1/2″, the group is exactly than edge to edge. Minus the bullet diameter, we have a group under 0.3″ at 30 yards, so a little under 1MOA. 3x prismatic is not a target scope, but it’s fast enough in use for hunting and full daylight illumination is very useful.

One problem with magazines in upright mag carriers, especially for women, is getting jabbed in the ribs. Kathy Jackson, the editor of Concealed Carry magazine, showed me her mag carrier by Desbiens Gunleather. It works well.

An acquaintance in Florida is raising funds for the side arm, the training and the government permission to carry it. Help her out if you like. I think it’s worth doing.

Just back from Knoxville where I got to hang out with Sayuncle, Dennis Badurina, Evie (in the video below) and several new friends.
Went to shoot with WPA. Based on the experience, I now want an ITT hydraulic stock buffer on every gun I have! As for the Veprs, I am torn between 7.62x54R to make use of the 5K+ rounds I have on hand and .308 for the access to a greater variety of modern loads.

I normally teach new shooters with a Walther P22. It’s small, light, acceptably accurate and runs fine with subsonic and standard velocity ammunition.
Last weekend, all subsonic and standard velocity ammunition began keyholing quite severely. At 5ft, the spread was several inches and all bullets impacted the target sideways. At least I had no baffle strikes. High velocity ammunition works just fine, but it is much louder and less suitable for teaching.
Walther tech support wouldn’t guess as to the cause. I am baffled also. Any ideas?

One of the rifles I tried out last weekend at WPA in Knoxville. Ten-shot .308 with mild recoil. Optics or Picatinny rails mount on a left-side rail with return to zero.

AK rifles are generally faulted for short sight radius. With Tech Sights, that’s no longer true. Their solution is a rock-solid rear aperture attached to the receiver, not to the dust cover. Dis-assembly is by removing a cross-pin. I first encountered Tech Sights sights on 10-22 rifles at Appleseed training events. They are the standard sight upgrade there.
I think it’s a worthwhile upgrade. They make two versions, one with a single aperture and another with a two-aperture flipper.

There’s something to a suppressor that fits on any A2 flash hider.

.308 Vepr Hunter with an EOTech. The shooter above is 14 and handles it easily. I think this is my favorite variant, as I prefer crossbolt safety to the traditional AK lever.
In 7.62x54R, with Cobra red dot.

Some of the people I photograph are not familiar with firearms. I try to remedy that, both to have more versatile models and for their benefit as well. I taught the basics to two last weekend, both times using suppressed P22 and SU22. Both girls are left eye dominant but right handed, so the red dot on the SU proved very helpful. Variable length stock and very light weight of the carbine also helped. Hearing protection was used because we shot supersonic ammunition from a blowback gun, and because the sound of bullets impacting on tin cans at 15 to 25 yards can be quite loud. Standing, sitting, squatting, kneeling positions were covered.

Last weekend, another photographer and I worked with the same model. While they were busy, I took snapshots of the shutterbug at work.

This rifle is positioned to compete with rifles like Remington 750 Woodmaster. The price, the weight and the other features are fairly similar. Vepr seems like a more robust design overall.

Got to see Mr. Dragon Leather on my last visit to Knoxville. Picked up a new pocket holster for PF9 with .22 conversion kit and Laserlyte laser (photos soon) — it’s so beautifully made, I wonder how I would be able to stand concealing it…
308 main gun (Vepr, again) and 45ACP backup seem like a pretty reasonable combo. Photo taken at Wolf Arms.
