I am a huge proponent of shooting competition, either IDPA or USPSA. They are both games, so I don’t get too hung up on which one is better as the primary benefit of shooting competition is getting to perform while under some induced pressure. Personally, I shoot IDPA as I find I can be more... Continue Reading →
We had Annette Evans back on the show this past Tuesday and we had a particularly good discussion on training paths. Enthusiasts of defensive shooting, and self-defense in general, often forget that the average person who is not a hobbyist, but wishes to be able to protect themselves, needs reasonable advice and guidance. Annette provides... Continue Reading →
I am always amazed at how much difference there is in point of impact between varying bullet weights out of a pistol. Hell, I find significant variance between different brands even with the same bullet weight. If you are serious about the readiness of your carry gun as a defensive tool, you absolutely must verify... Continue Reading →
This week we had an excellent CCX2 show with guest Darryl Bolke. Those of you that are into firearms training are probably acquainted with Darryl as he is well known in the circle. Darryl has a lot of experience in many facets of law enforcement, private security, and indeed as a concealed carrier. We discuss... Continue Reading →

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...
