About a year and a half ago I decided to get a small frame all-steel revolver, so I acquired a Ruger SP101 which has been featured extensively on this blog ever since. I spend a lot of time carrying the SP101 over the course of about a year and I shot it quite a bit. ... 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...

Last year I became interested in having a handy general-purpose rifle that is light to carry in the woods for extended periods and that makes a good trunk gun: something that is very rugged.

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 →
If you believe in self-preparedness you absolutely must carry a knife. Even if you don’t carry a gun you must carry a knife. Even if it is not a proper knife, carry a multi tool with a cutting blade. You are not equipped to face the dangers of this world if you have no cutting... Continue Reading →
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 →
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.
