The pistol world just got a serious upgrade. Glock recently unveiled its 6th generation pistols — including the compact Gen 6 variant of the legendary Glock 19 — and the changes are far more than cosmetic tweaks. With ergonomics, optics readiness, and handling all refined, the Gen 6 lineup marks a new chapter in what shooters have come to expect from Glock performance.

At Rainier Arms, we believe this release may reshape expectations across the entire platform space. If you’ve eyeballed comfort, reliability, and modern readiness in a pistol, the Gen 6 may just deliver — right out of the box.
What This Means for the Industry and Why Demand Is Surging
Over the past year, we have seen a noticeable slowdown in customers picking up new AR pistols and rifles. Many factors influence the soft market in our industry, and most product launches come and go with predictable levels of interest. That changed the moment the Sons of Liberty Gun Works MK1 arrived. Virtually overnight, demand spiked in a way we have not seen since the buying surges during the Covid era. The level of excitement, feedback, and rapid sell-through told us something important was happening.
Black November is here, and Rainier Arms is celebrating the season with unbeatable savings on the gear you’ve had your eye on all year. From cutting-edge firearms and premium parts to optics, suppressors, and accessories, our month-long event is your chance to upgrade your setup for less. Whether you’re building your next rifle or adding precision to your loadout, these limited-time deals are designed to keep you ahead of the game this holiday season. Don’t wait—when the month ends, so do the savings.
Compact Frame, Full-Sized Confidence Designed for those who demand both concealability and confidence, the C3.6 features a shorter grip module and a weight-saving alloy frame—making it ideal for all-day carry. Despite its smaller dimensions, the pistol retains the signature 2011 ergonomics, balance, and shootability that Staccato is known for.

When it comes to Everyday Carry (EDC), most discussions center around firearms, knives, and flashlights. While these tools are essential, there’s one critical component that many people overlook—medical gear.
The Reality of Emergency Situations
Everyday carry is all about preparedness. While carrying a handgun is an important personal defense measure, statistically, you're far more likely to need medical supplies than to draw your firearm in self-defense. Whether it’s a car accident, a workplace injury, or an unforeseen medical emergency, having the right first-aid gear in your EDC loadout can be life-saving. Seeing people post their EDC setups online without any medical gear genuinely frustrates me because it’s a crucial aspect of true preparedness.
My Personal EDC Loadout
For my latest setup, I’ve chosen to carry the Dan Wesson DWX Compact, fitted with an Impact Machine optic plate for my Trijicon RMR HD and a Streamlight TLR-7 HLX. To enhance performance, I also installed DPM Systems Recoil Reduction springs. This setup is holstered in my custom Legacy Firearms LIGHT BEARING HYPERION (IWB). One new addition I decided to try is the Ulti Clips, which provide a more secure grip onto my belt compared to traditional plastic clips. So far, I’m impressed with their stability. As far as a hand held light, my Cloud Defensive MCH 2.0 has worked flawlessly, except for the tail cap being shot a couple of months ago. Cloud Defensive customer service was helpful and sent me out a brand new one and got it back up and running. For my knife of choice, the Sniper Blade Works LPC has been a rugged non-negotiable in my EDC kit. Hefty heavy-duty blade and a comfortable, perfect contour handle for a sturdy grip. Perfect ergonomics for your hand.
Carrying Medical Gear: A Non-Negotiable
My Spiritus Systems Big Fanny Pack serves as the perfect storage for my LTD Creed EDC Medical Pouch and Stach-X EDC pouch, along with other essentials like my Ridge Wallet, Jello Sauce, Cloud Defensive MCH EDC light, and Sniper Blade Works LPC. Here’s what I keep in my med kit:
Chest seal
Compressed gauze
Hemostatic dressing
Nitrile gloves
Various cleaning/prep aides
Bandages
Additionally, my Stach-X pouch carries small medical essentials such as:
Various medications
Burn gel
Small bandages
I love how the Stach-X pouch secures via Velcro inside my pack, taking up minimal space while allowing me to carry a wide variety of necessary items. As the saying goes, it’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Be Prepared: Upgrade Your EDC
If your EDC setup lacks medical gear, it’s time to reconsider. Having a well-rounded loadout means being prepared for all potential emergencies, not just self-defense scenarios.
