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...

The Ruger American Compact Rifle in 223 Remington
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. I began researching modern scout rifles, guns that are to some extent derived from Jeff Cooper’s original idea. These bolt guns... Continue Reading →
Review of the The ASP Key Defender
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 →
Review of the PMAG 12 GL9 Magazine for the Glock 26

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 →
The Carry Knife: An Essential Rescue Tool
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 →
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 →
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 →
