Complacency is the great enemy of mankind. For rather fragile physical creatures we tend to get comfortable in our environment. The “it won’t happen to me” mentality affects us all: some far more than others, but it does affect each and every one of us. If you read this blog there is a high likelihood... Continue Reading →
Recently I have been using an inside-the-waistband holster for my Glock 26 called the Torsion, manufactured by Bravo Concealment, a holster company that specializes in kydex designs. One thing that immediately stands out is that Bravo Concealment products are very reasonably priced compared to many other options in terms of all-kydex designs. They manufacture a...

I have used Streamlight products for quite a few years now. I have used several Polytac series lights as long gun lights and I have carried numerous Protac series lights. I have had seven Protac lights, none have failed. My favorite has been the Protac 1L model due to its small size yet considerable output.... Continue Reading →
Small revolvers, in particular the light weight variants, prove versatile secondary weapons. My bug (backup gun) has been a Ruger LCR for some years now. The truth is, I usually do not carry a bug on a daily basis, but I sometimes carry a bug if traveling. The bug also serves other purposes for myself:... Continue Reading →

This was fostered by my acquisition of a Ruger SP101 in early 2017 which quickly usurped my Ruger LCR as my primary deep concealment gun. The LCR and other such light weight small revolvers are ideal for pocket,... Continue Reading →
If I could only have one handgun it would be a Glock 19. There is a huge number of handgunners out there who feel exactly the same way. The G19 is an industry standard and those of us that favor it typically do for one simple reason: it is the perfect size. It does everything... Continue Reading →
There is a saying that gets thrown around a lot within the gun community that goes something like “beware the man with only one gun because he probably knows how to use it.” Well, I have always found that somewhat amusing because there are no serious shooters that have only one gun. Guns are tools,... Continue Reading →
Every guy and his brother who is a shooter tends to weigh in on this subject and the opinion falls into two general camps. There are many who will tell you that if a magazine is left loaded for a prolonged period of time then the spring will “take a set” and degrade in performance. ... Continue Reading →
I have written several articles here and elsewhere on the use of clipless holsters. These holsters rely on an outer material that clings to clothing and with adequate waistband retention they stay in place without relying on an apparatus to actually clip onto the belt as does a traditional holster. I use traditional IWB holsters... Continue Reading →
I am not terribly old (soon to be officially middle aged) but even in my almost-four-decades the world has changed dramatically. I know I am getting old because I am convinced everything was better when I was a kid. Perhaps I am just nostalgic? Na, everything was actually better. The music was awesome. Kids my...
