On this first day of the new year, most people are making resolutions and setting goals for themselves for the future. In that same vein, I want to share a post from a blog that I frequent. This particular post has to do with one's future actions. Not necessarily ones that will happen in the … Continue reading Hard Lessons: LE, Self Reliance and Dying Well
The .300BLK started life as the proprietary ".300 Whisper" when Kevin was still in charge of AAC. He was primarily responsible for taking this wildcat cartridge and getting it SAAMI approved. This is no small task, and is the reason why it is now a ridiculously successful cartridge by all standards. His new company, Q, … Continue reading .300 BLK, 8.6 Creedmoor, and Kevin Brittingham
I know what you're thinking, and rightfully so. "Who is this Kevin guy, and why do I care?" Hang tight, and let me learn you. This started before I really got into guns, so some of this info is from what I've scavenged and remember hearing here & there. Kevin Brittingham started a little company called … Continue reading The Ballad of Kevin Brittingham
I got a holster for my Ruger LCRx in .327 Federal Magnum a while back, but haven't written about it yet. I honestly hadn't carried it a whole lot and didn't have much opinion formed about it until recently, but now I feel confident to speak on it. But, this post isn't about the gun, … Continue reading HAWG Holster Review
I signed up. Feb. 2nd & 3rd, 2019, I will be in Southern Utah shooting the 2nd Annual InRangeTV Desert Brutality. Hopefully I'll win something. If you don't know what DB is, here's the premise: A 2-Gun (rifle & pistol) practical shooting competition, where the difficulty comes not from complex stage design and target presentation, … Continue reading Desert Brutality 2019
This one really grinds my gears. I've heard it all my life, and from people who should know better. I remember my dad saying this when I was younger, and I heard Jocko Willink say it on a recent podcast. Am I missing something? Let's look at this critically: "I'd rather be lucky than good." The speaker … Continue reading Stupid Sayings: “I’d Rather be Lucky Than Good”
I really, really, hate it when I hear or see someone say that. Not dislike, literal hatred. I'm no lawyer (nor do I ply one on TV), but even I can see that being quoted as saying "I wish someone would give me a reason to kill them" is a bad idea. It's hard to imagine … Continue reading Stupid Sayings: “I Wish a MF’er would!”
Not being there when they need me. Most people are kind, caring, and trustworthy, but there are monsters out there. These predators look like the normal people, talk like the normal people, walk like the normal people, and may even convince you that they themselves are normal but they are monsters. They are the literal … Continue reading What Scares Me Regarding My Kids
Last weekend was the 2nd Twilight Run 'N Gun. If you remember from my last update, I was feeling odd and apprehensive about this event. Well, it's come and gone, the cookie has crumbled, and the fat lady has sung. Before I get into how I ended up doing, let's take a moment to talk … Continue reading Twilight Run ‘N Gun 2018 II Results
