I recently picked up a Glock 43x MOS slide from Sean here at Primer Peak. He’s testing the Aimpoint COA Glock, and had a spare slide to offload. He offered it to me, and I chose to buy. However, I’m not a huge fan of the slimline MOS cut. It’s really just an RMSc optic…
Gun owners are almost as varied as car owners in the United States. Some folks are become intimately familiar with their tools, perform regular maintenance and maintain proficiency in their use. Others want whatever is cheap, simple, and suits their most basic needs. For gun people, that can mean owning a gun, sticking it in…
Pepper Spray (also known as Oleoresin capsicum, AKA OC Spray) is a contentious topic. In the world of firearm media, many folks will forgo pepper spray, and just carry a gun. However, more and more people are understanding the escalation of force, and are looking for more self defense tools. I’ve carried pepper spray on…
Through my testing here at Primer Peak and the videos I make on YouTube, I shoot a lot. I’m not a trash-shooter though, and like to use those rounds for testing in a practical manner. That means shooting a lot of drills, and in this new series, I wanted to share 3 drills that I’ve…
Here we go again! Baby Primer Peak 2 (PP2) will be here this fall! As I am pregnant for the second time in two years I find myself once again evaluating my conceal carry set up. Here are some considerations I’ve made as a pregnant, conceal carrying mom of a (now) year old baby. I…
If you’ve been reading Primer Peak for the last year, you’ve probably noticed a fair bit of content regarding firearms and parenthood. We’ve welcomed two children into our home in the last two years, and that’s driven some change in how we store our firearms. Our first child is old enough now to pull themselves…
Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (X) are the places to let your thoughts be heard in today’s world. Everyone has a voice, more or less, in these digital town squares. Whether it be politics, comedy, life advice, or any other topic under the sun, there’s a Group, Subreddit, Thread, or some other home for you. However,…
In early 2025 I wrote a piece covering conceal carry while baby wearing. Due to baby Primer Peak being just a few months old, they were exclusively worn on the front of our bodies for their safety. Now that baby is older, they’re finding themselves strapped to our backs more often than not! This means…
When Colt revolvers re-entered the scene in 2017, I was immediately intrigued. The Prancing Pony dances through the imaginations of many revolver enthusiasts, though they eluded my hands for years. I managed to put a few rounds through the new Python during 2020’s SHOT Show and was very impressed, but once again fate had other…
Earlier this year I wrote Baby Wearing and Conceal Carry for New Mothers. In that article I heavily focused on carrying baby on my front, and only briefly mentioned carrying baby on my back. I did this in part because I had not seen any other resources discussing how to baby wear an itty bitty…
