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.

I am talking, of course, about my 460 XVR from Smith & Wesson, chambered in .460 S&W Magnum. *dog for scale This gun is heavy, loud, expensive, and hard to handle (insert … Continue reading Project: Epicyon
Holy smokes, what new hotness has ol' Bill Wilson unleashed on us this time? Huh. Kinda looks like a .300BLK. There's probably some sort of ballistic special-sauce that isn't obvious. Let's look a little closer... That's just re... -dundant. What does this do that the .300BLK doesn't? Uhh... add like 100 fps to a supersonic … Continue reading The New 300 HAM’R From Wilson Combat!

There is a defensive rifle competition each month only a few hours' drive from me, at Oil Capital Rod & Gun Club. This make the second time I've attended, the previous time being June 2017.
