This Glock 34 Changed Her Life – and it’s not just a catchy title. In this episode of the Pop Culture 223 Podcast, Jessica shares her powerful journey from being a victim of fear and intimidation to becoming a confident, armed woman who now competes in shooting sports and carries every single day.
After being harassed and receiving threatening messages for nearly a year—with no help from law enforcement—Jessica realized no one was coming to save her. That moment led her down a life-changing path to self-defense, personal protection, and training. With no background in firearms, she took control of her future, got her concealed carry permit (CPL), and began learning how to safely and effectively use a firearm.
Her weapon of choice? The Glock 34—a firearm that started as just a tool but became a symbol of strength, confidence, and transformation. This wasn't just any Glock, though. Thanks to her appearance on Pimp My Pew, Jessica’s Glock 34 was fully customized into a competition-ready beast by Monsoon Tactical and other top-tier companies.
In this exclusive interview, Jessica breaks down:
Why she chose the Glock 48 for EDC and the Glock 34 for competition
Her experience training with Hand in Arms, a DMV-area firearms instructor
What it was like going from the gym to the gun range
The mental shift from feeling powerless to becoming empowered
Competing as a new shooter and finding community in the competitive shooting world
Whether you're into female gun ownership, Glock upgrades, EDC lifestyle, or just want to hear a real story about reclaiming power and purpose—you need to hear this.
This episode is especially for women who are curious about getting into firearms, self-defense, and 2A advocacy, and for anyone who believes that firearms training is more than just pulling a trigger—it’s a mindset shift.
