Dry fire is to shooters what hitting the heavy bag is to boxers. Ammo is expensive and live fire requires going to a range. Dry fire requires a safe direction and distraction free environment only. I find that the really high end competition shooters tend to either be very high round count guys, shooting tens... Continue Reading →
This year I have been pursuing some training in things I don’t do well. Imagine that! As a shooter I fight the trap that many shooters do: becoming myopic on just the firearm and the related skill set. Even among serious shooters I find a skill that most are weak in is contact distance shooting. ... Continue Reading →

Each, of course, requires some degree of differing response. But in particular the active shooter seems to be... Continue Reading →
There is really nothing baby like about the “Baby Glock.” The Glock 26 was dubbed the sub-compact model in the Glock 9mm line when it came out. Of course at this point we tend to consider sub-compact as referring to the single-stack 9mm offerings so popular among concealed carriers. While I like guns such as... Continue Reading →
I am of the absolute opinion that the handgun is the top priority for the armed citizen. The vast majority of defensive gun uses, even in the home, are done with a handgun.
