The ballistic effectiveness of the snub revolver is particularly influenced by ammunition selection. The short barrel length of the snub, which is generally two-inches or less, drastically reduces the velocity of even the hotter loads in 38 Special, 32 H&R Magnum, and any other common revolver cartridges. Essentially, even hollow point bullets from 38+P loads... Continue Reading →
I recently assistant-instructed a course for brand new, many first time, shooters. I did the same in the fall of last year. We do these classes with an instructor working with three or four students at a time. Such classes need a high instructor-to-student ratio. These were my first experiences working with complete novice practitioners... Continue Reading →
New intelligence is pointing to 100+ Iranian sleeper cells within CONUS. The group that claims this previously thought it was around 30. This has been a topic of major concern, especially since the strike on Iran’s nuclear capability last summer. People in the know have proposed that these cells would activate following the death of... Continue Reading →
We have all heard the advice to “carry as much gun as you can,” or “carry the biggest gun you can,” and the like.

The homicide rate significantly fell in 2025. This is likely due to a combination of enhanced policy crackdowns with illegal immigration, as well as the... Continue Reading →
Like it or not, most human beings have a fascination with violence. This is clearly manifest when considering our entertainment over the millennium, ranging from the Roman Gladiatorial matches to modern television and movies. Violence sells. There is a great deal of academic debate over the role of modern entertainment, both movies and video games,... Continue Reading →
The number of bad actors that flooded into the United States during the disastrous Biden Administration is legion. There are thousands of terrorists from the Middle East within our borders. Many bad actors have also come through legal immigration means following the botched Afghanistan withdrawal as well. Yet, despite this unprecedented influx of threats in... Continue Reading →
Years ago, I was convinced that any man who wore sweatpants, or draw-string shorts, or any garment other than pants with a proper belt, was deficient in defensive tools, as well as character. Yes, a rather critical opinion. I even said as much in an article I wrote for Concealed Nation back then, lambasting the... Continue Reading →
The 2nd Amendment is, above all, an enumerated roadblock against tyrannical federal government. However, it goes deeper than that, and most Americans take our ability to be armed for granted. In most of the world, only the elite among society have firearms. There is a reason that the elites in this country, and the globalists... Continue Reading →
