COVER DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY: Delta Media, LLC Volume 01 - Issue 02 www.concealedcarrymag.com Concealed Carry Magazine Improvements Already! e are committed to continually improving Concealed Carry WMagazine. I will take this opportunity to tell you about what is in the works to make this publication even better. Over the past few months, we have received more “CCM Profile” submissions than we expected. So starting with this issue, we will have TWO profile stories per issue. Most, if not all, of our most recent Profile submissions are coming from subscrib- ers. This is fantastic. It is important that we tell everyone’s story to show that people who go armed are responsible, upstanding citizens. The other exciting improvement is the addition of a regular column by Gabe Suarez. The column will be called “Street Tactics: Reality-Based Gun and Knife Fighting”. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Mr. Suarez, he is the founder of Suarez International, a world-class weapons and tactics training facility. His training courses are described as reality- based, student-focused, concepts-driven and combat proven. I have read two of his books and am very excited that he is willing to join the Concealed Carry Magazine editorial staff. Lastly, I would like to congratulate the winner of our first handgun promotion. The STI LS40 went to Robert Montoya of Grand Junction, Colorado. I spoke with Robert on the phone and he was very surprised that he had won. Congratulations! In closing, if there are any other improvements you would like to see in Concealed Carry Magazine, please don’t hesitate to write or email me. I take each one of your letters to heart as we strive to make this a really valuable publication. Be safe and God bless, Timothy J. Schmidt Publisher / Editor excellent insight into the proper way to carry a concealed handgun, but will also be of great assistance to me!

    PRODUCT CATALOG 2015 2015 is a year of anniversaries for us here at CZ-USA. Most notable is the 40th Anniversary of our model 75, a pistol that has become an icon in the firearms world. With a reputation for accuracy, reliability and capacity, it’s a timeless design that forms the basis for most all of our pistol line. To celebrate the 75’s 40 year anniversary, the factory’s master engraver was tasked with designing a unique pistol in commemoration. The 40th Anniversary Limited Edition is beautiful and unique, with only one thousand being created. Another anniversary is that of CZ-USA’s acquisition of Dan Wesson. One decade ago we added Dan Wesson Firearms to our family, bringing their line of fine 1911s to a greater audience through our authorized dealer network. Over the years they have grown and expanded, and Dan Wesson production today looks nothing like it did when we See page 9 brought them on. One thing has never changed -- our unwavering commitment to building production 1911s with superb fit and finish. We are proud of the fact that many customers compare our production 1911s to other manufacturers’ custom guns -- they’re just that good. Joining our lineup of Dan Wesson handguns are two new models and one blast from the past. The Silverback and Valkyrie are our response to customer input, slight variations on our current designs that bring customers options that previously were only available in custom orders. The throwback pistol that joins our catalog this year is the Dan Wesson 715.

  • 25 of the Best Handguns Ever 1) Colt 1851 Navy Revolver (1850) The
    https://www.fieldandstream.com/25-best-handguns-ever/ 25 of the Best Handguns Ever We take a walk through history and highlight some of the greatest revolvers, pistols, and sidearms of all time By Richard Mann Updated: June 6, 2019 Colt, Glock, S&W, Browning… There is no shortage of iconic names associated with handguns. From classic cavalry sidearms of the 1800s to today’s remarkably accurate semi- automatic pistols, handguns have been a constant source for innovation and ingenuity. And that’s what inspired us to go back in time and highlight 25 of the most ground-breaking handguns, pistols, and revolvers in history—starting all the way back in 1850 when Colt released a game-changer that would go on to catch the eyes of soldiers and gunslingers alike. Many of the guns in this list are no longer available, but the impact and influence they had on handgun design will live on forever. Now, onto the list. 1) Colt 1851 Navy Revolver (1850) The Colt 1851 Navy RevolverWiki Commons In production from 1850 until 1873, the Colt Navy Revolver changed warfare and the world. Much lighter than the Colt Dragoon of 1847 and originally designated the “Ranger,” the Colt Navy was adored by cavalry soldiers, partisan ruffians, and gunslingers like Jesse James and Wild Bill Hickock. The revolver remained popular long after the introduction of the modern self-contained cartridge. The Colt Navy is a legendary sidearm and could be considered the first true fighting handgun. 2) Colt Single Action Army (1873) The Colt Single Action ArmyColt Likely the most iconic handgun in existence, the Colt Single Action Army gained fame in the holsters of Roosevelt’s Rough Riders and won the West in the hands of men like Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson.

  • Range Update
    Florida’s Largest Gun Club, over 4,000 and growing… 2018 A publication of the Gateway Rifle and Pistol Club of Jacksonville, FL. #2 – May Range Update The spring Swap Meet is coming up. Get out the junk you just had to have that is useless now and bring it down. There will be someone who thinks some of that useless stuff is interesting enough to buy or trade. The swap meet at the annual meeting was pretty nice. Come on down! In other range news, the maintenance crew has been busy. They just finished updating the 200 yard berm. Updating turned into rebuilding. The old berm wasn't straight and the new design bullet traps needed a straight berm. The work required closing the other rifle lines, as access to the 200 was through the gates in the side berms. That completes the process of bringing our backstops up to code so to speak with the current designs. To show that Murphy's law is ALWAYS in effect, the 200 yd match held the weekend after completion of the work caused damage to the vertical supports to the bullet trap. The angle iron used to protect the wooden uprights was penetrated by the bullets, causing minor damage to the beams. A stronger plate will be installed. This happened because some shooters were shooting at an angle instead of straight at the target in front of them. No matter how good your plan is, something will go wrong. That Murphy guy was sharp. In other range maintenance news, repairs to the shelters on range 5 and to one of the walls are underway.
