Everyone likes to compare and brag about their EDC. What $600 knife and miscellaneous tools they’ll never use and how much they can shove inside their $300 5.11 Tactical pants. I obsess, and flex, how self-sufficient my truck is. As someone who goes off-roading and overlanding as much as I possibly can while still being…
Below is a letter I wrote to my state legislature and various gun rights organizations. As you might’ve guessed from the title, the topic at hand is permitless concealed carry. In this letter I advocate for the creation of permitless carry laws in my current home state, using a wide variety of sources and quotes…
I host two local watch enthusiast meetups each month. We’re located in Salt Lake City, Utah, but we’ve hosted meetups all around northern Utah. Well, one of my wonderful members invited Drew, the owner of Mount West Watch Co., to one of our meetups in late 2025. I was not familiar with Mount West, as…
In our previous entry of Living Legends we spoke with law enforcement veteran, competitor, and writer Simon Golob. Today we have the opportunity to chat with “The Tactical Professor”, Claude Werner. Interview with Claude Werner I’m not quite sure when I first became aware of Claude Werner, but we’re closing in on a decade of…

I recently vacationed in New York City (NYC) and Boston. Leading up to the trip, I had always heard rumors and horror stories about people who had carried guns in NYC. Now, the thing I had going for me is that I’m a full-time law enforcement officer (LEO) in Kansas. So I knew I was…
If you’ve been reading Primer Peak for the past few years, you’ve probably seen me talking about 30 Super Carry. At this point, I believe I may be one of the most experienced people on the planet who isn’t sponsored by an ammunition or firearms manufacturer. For those unfamiliar with the cartridge, check out my…
It’s never been a better time to be a consumer in the gun industry. It seems like every day we get a new product, with new manufacturers popping up constantly. While many of these products are high quality, there’s also a large portion of the market made up of less than stellar offerings. As with…
For those of you who have been around long enough, or have looked at our logo, you might notice that Primer Peak was established back in 2014. Those with too much time on their hands may know that our first article was published in 2015. Back then we were known as The Firearm Rack, with…
Over the past few weeks a handful of respected trainers, competitors, writers, and personalities have come together with an interesting message. No, we’re not getting into SIG P320 drama here, but you’re close. Strangely, these people have decided to champion the position that striker fired handguns are (generally) unsuitable for concealed carry or duty use.…
