I finally made it to the range this week. This is the first time I've been for the sole purpose of practice in... let's just say a while. First thing I did was the Press Check "No Fail Shot", as it is designed to be shot cold. From 25 yards, draw and fire 1 shot … Continue reading Range Day and Testing the New Carry Piece

A Case For The DA/SA For Your Carry Gun
I just ran across this piece on ITStactical.com, and figured that readers of my "What Gun Should You Buy" series would appreciate the perspective. I'll link it below. I didn't really address the aspect of picking an action for your first gun, though in retrospect I really should have. Since this isn't written by me, … Continue reading A Case For The DA/SA For Your Carry Gun
Don’t Buy Cheap Holsters
I guess this is technically an extension of my "What Gun Should I Buy" series, though this isn't actually about a gun. That doesn't mean that holster selection is any less important. In fact, there is a good argument to be made that holster selection is more important than gun selection. For reference, read this story. … Continue reading Don’t Buy Cheap Holsters
What Should be Your First Gun? Part 4
The final thing you should bear in mind when searching for your first gun.
Current State of my AR, and Where I’d Like to See It
That's a bit of a misleading title, because I'd like to see my AR become two rifles. Okay, but seriously. I'd like to see my AR become a short, fast, quick rifle for home/vehicle defense and I'd also like it to be a semi-precision rifle for reaching out to around 400 or 500 yards. How … Continue reading Current State of my AR, and Where I’d Like to See It

My Every Day Carry
This article is related to last week's article, though not necessarily a follow-on. I consider my EDC to be a relatively minimalist setup, compared to most people who carry a gun. My personal philosophy is "as much as possible, with as little as possible", and I try to apply that to everything in my life, … Continue reading My Every Day Carry
Why Every Gun Needs A Light
Every gun that may be used for defensive purposes needs a light on it. Have an AR in the safe in case a burgler breaks into your house? Put a weapon light on it. Carry a pistol while out & about in public? Put a weapon light on it. Got a pump shotgun leaned in … Continue reading Why Every Gun Needs A Light
The Modern Lever Gun
Lever guns are an interesting category. They are something that basically everyone who's owned a gun here in the US has seen and held, but not necessarily owned. That's a shame, because lever guns are uniquely American. Lever guns were invented here in the good ol' U S of A, and never really caught on … Continue reading The Modern Lever Gun
