For all of 2017 my primary handgun was a Glock 26 Gen 3 and the majority of my training was done with this gun. I actually train with the gun I carry (imagine that) so I got quite intimate with the 26. Overall, I love the 26 as it is easy to carry but also... Continue Reading →
Review of the The ASP Key Defender
Roughly 80% of assaults each year are deemed less-lethal in nature, but most gun carriers feel that there is no need for a dedicated less-lethal weapon. Go figure. Just like your firearm, a less-lethal tool should be standard carry. I don’t understand the dudes with long beards and sleeve tats that walk around with a... Continue Reading →
Separation from the Warrior: A Social Prescription for Disaster
The softening of American character is the single greatest threat to this nation and I vehemently believe that. America has never been a truly martial society as we would characterize the ancient Spartans or the like. Rather, America was founded by men who were farmers, merchants, craftsmen, printers, artisans, but also Minutemen. The Minuteman was... Continue Reading →
The EDC-Pouch: A Valuable and Modular Asset
If you are like me you probably have a lot of bags that surround you. You may have bags that stay in the car for emergencies, you may have bug-out bags in the house, you may have dedicated outdoor and hunting bags, and you may have a bag that you carry on a daily basis. ... Continue Reading →
The Sticky Holster
I have a couple of sticky holsters that I use for small frame revolvers and I absolutely love them. They are better than the Remora, in my opinion, since they are clingier and do stick to fabric more. In fact, it is the only holster I use for my revolvers, aside from a belly band...

Guest Appearance on ITRH Urban Survival Podcast
One of my favorite podcasts is In the Rabbit Hole Urban Survival. While I listen to a number of prepper podcasts this particular one offers the most diverse span of topics and guests that I have found. I discovered ITRH some time back and I have listened to every episode since and have even gone... Continue Reading →
The General Purpose Bolt Rifle: A Self-Defense Tool?
As usual, if Jeff Cooper said it, we are still talking about it. Col. Cooper was the man, I am always amused when some keyboard-commando idiot criticizes him. The present craft of shooting would not currently be what it is if not for him. Did everything he taught and wrote go unchanged? Obviously not, but... Continue Reading →
Back to the Speedloader
Every time I write about my escapades with the revolver I start with the same disclaimer: I am a firm believer in carrying a substantial gun and I carry a double-stack auto at all times possible. The issue is, however, I can’t do that all of the time and when I need deep concealment the... Continue Reading →
The Second Amendment and Consistent Hypocrisy
While most people in the gun culture certainly lean right politically I for one am fairly agnostic with my political views. Sure, I am more right of the isle than left, but I hardly find the right worthy of much praise either. However, there is one element that ensures my tolerance of the right over... Continue Reading →
No Weapons in Church: A Long-Established and Deadly Tradition
One of the relatively few television series that I have watched and enjoyed is Vikings. I have actually only watched the first two seasons, I intend to jump into the third season once I find the time. A particularly interesting scene occurs early on in the series when the primary character Ragnar, a Viking raider... Continue Reading →
