Today I want to talk about a gun I really like— a gun that I honestly don’t hear enough people talking about — even though a lot of shooters actually own one.

This episode focuses on some simple personal safety habits and everyday awareness tips that can help people stay safer in public, along with a quick update on the Glock 19 Gen 6 after time on the range.

Getting back underway with Season Four, I wanted to reset the tone as we head into 2026. I spent real time behind several platforms, and this season isn’t about hype — it’s about perspective. So let’s talk about a few guns that run great on the range, carry well, and I’ll give you my overall pick if you’re in the market for something new.

This Episode wraps up Season 3 with a spotlight on the new Shield X - a standout option for everyday carry or home protection. We talk about why this handgun is gaining so much attention and how it fits into Smith & Wesson’s growing lineup! A strong finish to the season with a firearm worth trying out...
