Nobody trains as much as I do unless they are an enthusiast who likes to shoot for no other reason beyond the craft itself. Still, for myself, and many others, the foundation of the pursuit resides in self-defense and preparedness. While I love, and highly encourage, competition, that has never been the motivating factor for... Continue Reading →
Accelerationist ideology, broadly, refers to the intentional actions to drive a collapse of the current social order. This plays into the “fourth turning” theory, where a crisis occurs roughly every four generations. Accelerationist groups seek to hasten the fourth turning and bring about a collapse of the current government, regime, establishment, etc… These individuals believe... Continue Reading →
The shooting that took place in Cambridge, Massachusetts, last week is the latest example of the curse that is far leftist, woke, ideology. The perpetrator himself is not necessarily reflective of any particular ideology, as he seems to be legitimately insane, but the system that turned him lose on the streets did so in order...

While it may seem counter-intuitive, holsters that are longer in length actually work better for appendix-position concealment than do shorter holsters, for most individuals. My primary carry gun is a Glock 26, which has a comparatively short barrel at only 3.5 inches, but I use the Phlster Pro holster (highly recommended) which accommodates up to... Continue Reading →
I am not sure why so many gun carriers still resist the very notion of also carrying OC (pepper) spray. For some reason, many can’t come to grips with the fact that they are two different tools, designed for two different reasons. Here we go, class: A firearm is for defending yourself or another innocent... Continue Reading →
I cringe every time I hear reference to the “Tueller Rule.” There is no rule, and there never was. Rather, there is a demonstrated principle. Dennis Tueller, a Seargent on the Salt Lake City Police Department, published an article in SWAT magazine in 1983 explaining the outcomes of force-on-force experiments he conducted. The centerpiece of... Continue Reading →
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. There is obvious merit to this sentiment, as generally larger pistols are more capable and more shootable. However, there are variables and there is nuance. For example, most modern shooters can...
