| 0:00.0 | This is the Concealed Carry podcast, episode number 368. |
| 0:15.4 | And welcome to the Concealed Carry podcast, part of the Concealed Carry.com network. |
| 0:21.7 | I am your host, Riley Bowman, and I was barely able to get the words welcome to the concealed carry |
| 0:25.4 | podcast out of my mouth who I was a close save there it must be because I brought |
| 0:32.0 | my lucky charm with me today and that is Matthew Marister hello Matthew it's a |
| 0:36.8 | shocker that I'm here with you, right? |
| 0:40.1 | Jacob had some things going on this morning, and so I think he is actually back to his home office now, |

| 1:30.7 | to talk about, you know, I've got a couple different ideas about some things to talk |
| 1:36.3 | about relating to handgun size, fit to your hand, how that relates to concealability |
| 1:41.4 | and different calibers. |
| 1:43.6 | So, but we're going to use this as an opportunity to talk about if the 380 is something that |
| 1:48.6 | is even relevant anymore. |
