I highly encourage training with good instructors at any opportunity you can manage. All good shooters, especially those who are instructors themselves, are life-long students of the craft that seek out knowledge from others at all opportunities. As a guy who is busy with family and work my ability to take training is more limited... Continue Reading →
I find it interesting that a lot of shooters get more hung up on the speed of their reload than on the speed of their first shot from a concealed holster. Granted, for competitive shooters who often perform several reloads on even a single stage the speed of the reload is important and this is... Continue Reading →
Small revolvers, in particular the light weight variants, prove versatile secondary weapons. My bug (backup gun) has been a Ruger LCR for some years now. The truth is, I usually do not carry a bug on a daily basis, but I sometimes carry a bug if traveling. The bug also serves other purposes for myself:... Continue Reading →

That is the title I will be using for it from now on. I write about things other than guns every once in a while, but, yet again, it... Continue Reading →
If you read this blog you are probably familiar with the term Gun Culture 2.0. It is a reference to the newer American gun culture that has emerged in the past couple of decades that reflects changing American demographics and society. The authority on this social trend is a gentleman by the name of David... Continue Reading →
There is a lot of discussion of late about arming teachers. This topic tends to be dominated by political agenda and it proves as divisive as gun control itself. If you are a reader of this blog you probably agree that the only way to stop deranged mass killers is to do so with force,... Continue Reading →
Jeff Cooper once opined that he could not understand how some people could be shooters but not hunters, and conversely, some were hunters but not shooters. For Cooper, the founding father of our modern approach to self-defense, hunting and shooting were intrinsically linked. I am of a newer generation of gunmen than the late, great,...
