P – Primary Projectile A – Alternate Blade C – Contingency Less than lethal E – Emergency Bare Hands Let’s pull back the curtain and examine what this could mean with each. Primary. As for everything in the life saving equipment category, I recommend the best and most reliable and highest functioning gear within your budget. We discussed the idea of a baseline vs ideal. Or effective vs effective and efficient which varies with time/place but knowing what you should strive to carry for you and having matching skills is very important. Primary should always be the most “killy” (technical term) but it will depend on what you have with you, (Can’t always carry concealed handgun while traveling) and how proximate distance to threat(s). (I.e. if your at contact distance, I don’t recommend going for your gun when you have decent empty hand or knife skills) As a rough outline, for our purposes this will be a modern, magazine fed handgun of 9mm or higher caliber. (Personally not a fan of revolvers or the 380 cartridge or something similarly wimpy) Of course, you do you Boo, this is just my definition. Should include a reliable holster. Bonus points if it’s quick to draw from, concealable, able to deploy with both hands, from seated position, or lying on your back. (BTW the Inside the Waiste Band (IWB) appendix holster fits all of the above for most) Now as a baseline, this should be something that you can depend your life on, while carrying a round in the chamber, (AKA not a Sig P320 or High Point) Hopefully we’re all in agreement so far. When it comes to what is ideal in this category, I opt for a full frame (Not as easy to conceal, but better magazine capacity and easier to perform with) 9mm, with RMR, Weapon Light, threaded barrel for suppressor… insert your favorite add on here. Something that you can really perform with, even when the threats deserve an extra serving of lead, or you have to operate under less than ideal circumstances. Also a back up mag, both filled with quality hollow points, (this video was helpful comparison on that note. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgvrzHV73rI) I carry G9 but again, it’s your choice.
