Roughly 80% of assaults each year are deemed less-lethal in nature, but most gun carriers feel that there is no need for a dedicated less-lethal weapon. Go figure. Just like your firearm, a less-lethal tool should be standard carry. I don’t understand the dudes with long beards and sleeve tats that walk around with a... Continue Reading →
Review of the Ruger LCR
I have had a Ruger LCR for several years now and I have shot it quite a bit and carried it to a great extent. The LCR has two tremendous attributes: first, it has, bar none, the absolute best factory trigger of all small frame revolvers. Second, it is absurdly light. At only 13.5 ounces... Continue Reading →

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 →
The Glock 26: The Little Big Gun
There is really nothing baby like about the “Baby Glock.” The Glock 26 was dubbed the sub-compact model in the Glock 9mm line when it came out. Of course at this point we tend to consider sub-compact as referring to the single-stack 9mm offerings so popular among concealed carriers. While I like guns such as... Continue Reading →
