I have been notoriously outspoken in my opinion that most concealed carriers are best served by focusing most, if not all, of their training on a single handgun platform. The fact is that from one gun to another you face different grips, grip angles, trigger pulls, ergonomics, and other changes that simply demand some cross-over... Continue Reading →
I prefer to carry a handheld light that protrudes past my palm when I hold it in the typical hammer fist grip. There are two reasons for this: first, it is easier to point and light things up with the Bezel unobstructed by the hand. Second, I like having the ability to strike with the... Continue Reading →
I was invited on the Finding Freedom show, one of the Lions if Liberty podcasts, to discuss recent events, Second Amendment, and my book 21st Century Minute Man. This was a good show, despite some audio issues which seem to have originated from my end. Anyway, if you want to arm yourself with some good... Continue Reading →
For decades the mass murderer, most commonly in the form of an active shooter, has been deemed an anomaly in the realm of self-defense considerations. It still is. While the media goes hysterical over such events, the only reason they do so is to push for civilian disarmament. The leftwing media incorporates gang related shootings... Continue Reading →
I recently trained with Steve Fisher of Sentinel Concepts and it was the first time I have taken a class with him. I invited him on the show to discuss the subject of low light shooting, and many other topics. This was a good episode of CCX2. Steve drops some serious knowledge about low light...

I have used a speed strip to provide a reload for my snub revolver most of the time I have spent carrying it. The speed strip is easy to conceal, like the snub itself, thus making it the feasible carry companion. Still, I have worked with all manner of speedloaders over the years, and have...

I have been taught low light shooting techniques in a variety of pistol classes in the past, but I have wanted to take a dedicated low light class for a long time. I always presumed that the skill would be best learned in a stand-alone, topic specific, training environment. After attending this class with Steve... Continue Reading →
In the wake of the sickening tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, the majority of a particular political party is, again, dancing in the blood of murdered children to push their gun control agenda. They are gunning (pun intended) hard for universal background checks and red flag laws. Neither proposition would have stopped this killer, or any... Continue Reading →
At this point the horrendous mass killing in Texas at an elementary school is still not entirely understood, although as of this writing the details are emerging, and they don’t look good. It appears that police did not enter quickly, waiting over half an hour, and they even held back parents who were trying to... Continue Reading →
This past weekend I attended one of the best training experiences I have ever been privy too. John Murphy has hosted Hardwired Tactical for the two-day First Responder Pistol class for the past several years. I have long wanted to attend this course but it never worked out previously. So, I registered for it early... Continue Reading →
