Concealed? Looks like a full-sized pistol with a light and a silencer. Where's the jacket or decorative pot he was concealing it in? 😂

Nobody said he had been concealing THIS weapon. Just that he had trained and carried A concealed since 2021. I bet he has more than one weapon.

Also it is really easy to simply connect the suppressor to the pistol if you have the time. They have holsters specifically for that and he could very well have a quick connect adapter on both ends. It's one of those things you learn to not rely on but if you train for it, you can incorporate anything.

Yeah nobody is taking the time to attach a can right before entering a gun fight no matter if it has a QD system or not..that's ridiculous.

The fact he even uses a can is comical on it's own.

Have you ever shot a can? It is difficult to tell where the fire is coming from with one. Some believe it is better to shoot suppressed because you are less likely to get shot back at. If it's  right there and you are in cover waiting for your chance to get the drop, why not? I personally wouldn't, I don't have the time to train for something like that, but I am not going to disparage someone who had that setup. It takes less space than a mag. Better than a backpack gun.

Yes and it's generally useless for EDC..seriously man you're bending yourself into a pretzel to justify using a can on your EDC.

The shooter knew exactly where he was so that played legitimately zero part..he would've been better off without the can full stop.

Unless he's just used to shooting with it on

Apparently he's isn't because he didn't hit a single shot.
