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...

Rocket surgery, in case you are wondering, is the combination of rocket science and brain surgery. So, in other words, it is a very complicated affair. Shooting with a red dot on a pistol, however, is not at all as complicated as rocket surgery, despite the fact that some would have you believe otherwise. I... Continue Reading →
Nothing chaps my ass like having to travel to “non-permissive environments,” particularly in reference to entire states or cities. Court buildings and other federal locations are typically restricted and this is unlikely to change. The states and cities that prohibit the carry of defensive firearms are obviously populated with people who like having their betters,... Continue Reading →

Springfield Armory has released their updated production of the Hi Power and that has led me to reminisce about this particular gun... Continue Reading →

I have two larger trauma kits that I have built out through buying and assembling different components, one that is in the home and one that is in the vehicle.

I have garnered some hate from quite a few of the carbine enthusiasts out there due to my repeated declarations that the armed citizen will fight with the handgun, especially outside of the home, and the truck gun and other such notions are worth little more than a means of arming car thieves. I stand... Continue Reading →

The irony is that the book was almost compete before the pandemic of 2020 set in. In a post-COVID world preparedness books seem to be a bit... Continue Reading →
I used to carry medical gear on my ankle and I did so for a while. I eventually abandoned this practice and went to carrying a SOFT-T Wide and small pack of hemostatic gauze on a Phlster Flat Pack, which fits easily in my pocket. While the ankle rig was able to carry more gear,... Continue Reading →
Most concealed carriers need two carry handguns: a primary carry option, and a deep concealment option. If you are an avid outdoorsman who spends time in bear country, you might need three: a primary, a deep concealment, and a woods gun in the form of a magnum revolver or auto loader. Most, however, are well... Continue Reading →
This Tuesday we had Annette Evans on the CCX2 Show. Even though Annette is a serious shooter, she focuses heavily on the many other aspects of personal security that are important, particularly for women. If you are a lady who is interested in personal protection, or if you are a man who wants some great... Continue Reading →
