I am a huge proponent of keeping things as consistent as possible; I want every tool on my body in the same place, all the time. I carry my gun in the same location, all the time. Same with my blade, same with my light. I even carry my reload in the same place even... Continue Reading →
The focus of this blog is the use of the handgun as a personal-protection tool against unexpected criminal assault. With that said, I believe all citizens should be well-armed with the ability to be a combatant, thus the true intention of the Second Amendment. However, I think too many people in the firearms culture have... Continue Reading →
There is no denying that a pistol is a short range weapon of immediate self-defense compared to rifles. For most people, hitting anything beyond conversation distance with even a full-size pistol is a parlor trick. However, a shooter can stretch well beyond this typical distance with a pistol if they train for it properly. 25... Continue Reading →
For many years now my deep concealment gun has been a Ruger LCR revolver. Over this time, however, my modes of carrying this gun for deep concealment needs have changed extensively. I pocket carried the gun for a while, but the LCR is on the large side for me for pocket carry and the individual... Continue Reading →

Well, in my experience, most people never do enough firearms training to really get proficient with... Continue Reading →
Recently I shot live ammo for the first time in three months, and that brings me to only about 1,000 rounds of live fire for the entire year. With pandemic shutdowns and other challenges, I have simply not frequented the range and I have access to a family private range only every several months. However,... Continue Reading →
I like to carry my spare magazine on the waistline in order to facilitate the fastest, and most fumble-proof, reload possible. The problem is, I find this difficult to pull off. I used to wear the magazine at my off-hand appendix position. First, I always found it uncomfortable. Second, I moved to keeping my knife... Continue Reading →
I am hardly a watch aficionado, and I think spending thousands on a Rolex is laughable (if you have the money and that is your thing, why not) but wearing a robust and useful watch is a must. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I am rather judgmental about dudes... Continue Reading →
