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 →
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 →
Review of the PMAG 12 GL9 Magazine for the Glock 26
I am always skeptical of after-market magazines for handguns. Many shooters, myself included, have experienced a lot of reliability issues with various after-market magazines for various handgun platforms. When Magpul entered the market of manufacturing Glock magazines I was interested as Magpul makes only quality gear, in my experience, and their PMAG for the AR15... Continue Reading →

I am absolutely opposed to the “carry rotation” with defensive handguns. Carrying a... Continue Reading →
The Ruger SP101
I have a thing for revolvers. I primarily carry a striker-fired double-stack 9mm handgun as I like having the capabilities of such a weapon when roaming a world so infested with evil. However, I spend considerable time shooting and carrying revolvers as well. The reason is two-fold. First, there is a practicality issue: when I... Continue Reading →
The Magpul GL9 21 Round Glock Magazine
There are not many products that I am blown away by, but so far the Magpul 21 round Glock magazine is one of them. Here are the key points: It is completely reliable. Just as solid as the factory mags thus far and I have shot them fairly extensively. It is light-weight because it is... Continue Reading →
Carry Guns
People always ask “what do you carry?” This is common since as gun people we are all to a greater or lesser extent into gear. First, a reminder: the gear we carry is vitally important, but your mindset, your tactics, and your skills, are far more important. Don’t be that person who is a hobbyist... Continue Reading →
