P&S 155 – Incorporating EDC Into Competition

P&S ModCast 155 continues the competition discussion by examining how everyday-carry equipment and practical concealed-carry skills can be incorporated into shooting matches.

Watch and Listen

Episode Overview

Competition provides measurable performance, unfamiliar shooting problems, time pressure, and opportunities to test equipment. The panel discusses using concealment garments, carry holsters, realistic starting positions, and ordinary equipment while recognizing that a match does not reproduce the legal, tactical, or decision-making environment of defensive gun use.

The goal is informed skill development: use competition for what it measures well, then address its omissions through appropriate training and judgment.
