I am a huge proponent of keeping things as consistent as possible; I want every tool on my body in the same place, all the time. I carry my gun in the same location, all the time. Same with my blade, same with my light. I even carry my reload in the same place even... Continue Reading →
There is no denying that a pistol is a short range weapon of immediate self-defense compared to rifles. For most people, hitting anything beyond conversation distance with even a full-size pistol is a parlor trick. However, a shooter can stretch well beyond this typical distance with a pistol if they train for it properly. 25... Continue Reading →
Recently I shot live ammo for the first time in three months, and that brings me to only about 1,000 rounds of live fire for the entire year. With pandemic shutdowns and other challenges, I have simply not frequented the range and I have access to a family private range only every several months. However,... Continue Reading →

Therefore, most don’t consider its use outside of the range in which we are firing live ammunition. However, a shot timer is also exceedingly useful for dry fire as well. By means of a...

Another great discussion on the CCX2 podcast this past Thursday. We discussed eight recent incidents and some of them are very bizarre, ranging from road rage incidents to cougar attacks.

I was on the CCX2 show again and we had an entertaining, and occasionally informational, discussion on current events. We also delve into the ammo shortage, dry fire training, building mindset, carrying a gun while exercising, self-defense during riots, and a lot more. You can check it out here.
This is probably the longest single period of my adult life in which I have not fired a single round. It has been almost six months. Due to Covid, the shutting of ranges, and my own wish to avoid exposure in public places, I have not had the opportunity to shoot. Therefore, my only handgun... Continue Reading →
I have made the argument in the past that speedloaders somewhat defeat the purpose of small-frame revolvers as they prove bulky to carry and the small revolver is a gun for use when the highest of discretion and concealment is required. The more I continue to use both reloading devices the more my experience solidifies... Continue Reading →
This is a topic that amazes me because I can’t believe it is still a thing. The fact that some people still carry small-of-the-back may not be surprising when considering that a huge percentage of the population smokes a pack or more of cigarettes a day. Humans have an innate draw to that which is... Continue Reading →
