In this post I outline seven things to consider before you start prepping. Hopefully this will help maximize your budget and help you better prepare.

• Those of us who love firearms usually have or will acquire several over the years.

  When it’s time to make additions to the arsenal we begin to research.
  • What brand?
  • What model?
  • What caliber?
  • What round capacity?
  • What price point?
  Then we come to decision making time.
  Let’s be honest here, most of the firearms you buy you will never use, most of them you don’t need, and the truth is they are mostly for pleasure.
  However...
  When it comes to your EDC, this is the weapon you have the highest probability of actually using to save your life. When choosing your EDC don’t take it lightly, you don’t want the gimmicks, and you don’t want the cheapest. You want the most reliable, the one that never breaks down.
  I’m constantly asked what my EDC is.
  I carry subcompacts, I carry the G43 most of the time. But that doesn’t  the one for you. , go for comfort, and find what works for you.

  I get nothing from of calling brands out, so I don’t care what you choose but here’s a suggestion.
  If it’s less than $400 bucks, it’s probably shit, if it’s over $800 it’s probably a novelty.
  Here are 3 models you can’t go wrong with.
  • 43
  • M&P Shield
  • P365
  I’ve shot the hell out of all these options, and from my experience they are proven to have exceptional reliability.

  Cheers,

  Shawn Ryan
