The Firearms Instructor Issue 50 17 one and one is none” theory. I like many of you readers have a large box full of holsters. I have been there and done that when it comes to concealed carry and I am telling you now, this is it; I have found the way. I am practicing with it, and I am comfortable with it. Try it, you will like it. It really does work. Let me make a few points about ammo selection. I have found some really good ammunition and have myself tested it in different materials. Such as clothing, wood, and wet phone books. My findings were as follows: In .380 caliber, the Hornady 90gr FTX bullet and the Hornady 90gr Critical Defense round with it’s polymer tip offered good expansion. For those of us who may pass through New Jersey from time to time where hollow points are taboo, those Critical Defense rounds are just the ticket. Also, in 9mm I found Federal 124gr EFMJ (Expanding full metal jacket) are also quite adequate and have excellent expansion quality. I have not done any testing with powerball ammo as it is also quite cost prohibitive. As for small .38 snubbies, the Speer gold dot 135gr JHP is probably the best choice in that caliber. A few years ago, I participated in a few IDPA matches ... I did not do too bad. I real- ized almost everyone shooting in competi- tion had large caliber I.C.B.M. launchers, that Drawing the Kahr pm-9 from an ankle holster. 9mm power in a small package. Test firing the kahr p-380 I knew damn well they did not carry concealed in their everyday business. Sure, great shooting in competition, but I would bet that these same indi- viduals pack a little .32 or .380 when they leave the house. My point is this, being comfortable and discreet is the way to go. I have found this to be true and so can you. Remember... stay safe and always carry.
