I have used Remora Holsters for a long time. I use no-clip holsters of this sort exclusively for small revolvers due to their versatility, being able to go from a pocket to the waistband. This versatility makes these sorts of holsters an ideal pairing with a deep concealment gun for use during beach vacations or... Continue Reading →
Much ado is made about draw-to-first-shot speed in the shooting world. This is, indeed, an important skill, but I don’t practice draw-to-first-shot drills at all. I do practice draw to two shots, or draw to three shots, or five shots, etc…, but I don’t practice draw to a single shot. Rather, I practice draw-to-shooting. Why?... Continue Reading →
One Second After is the definitive work among post-apocalyptic fiction, bar none. If you are into preparedness then you have likely heard of this book even if you have not read it. I actually read it years ago, but decided to review it now as it remains a definitive work. Of all the “prepper” fiction... Continue Reading →
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 →

With that said, I believe all citizens should be well-armed with the ability to be a combatant, thus the true intention of the Second Amendment. However, I think too many people in the firearms culture have... 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 →
For many years now my deep concealment gun has been a Ruger LCR revolver. Over this time, however, my modes of carrying this gun for deep concealment needs have changed extensively. I pocket carried the gun for a while, but the LCR is on the large side for me for pocket carry and the individual... Continue Reading →
A month or so back I reviewed a Craft Holsters Open Top Leather Holster. That particular holster is excellent and Craft Holsters seems to specialize in leather products. In that review I actually stated that even though I have not used leather holsters in a long time, I really liked the Craft holster. In response... Continue Reading →
The carry of a backup gun among civilians is uncommon. For law enforcement, carrying a BUG is common, and if you don’t to carry a BUG as an LEO I think you are an idiot, quite frankly. Police officers are far more likely to need a backup gun than are civilians, one reason being that... Continue Reading →
If you read any of the many lists of “must have” firearms for preppers, you are likely to see a recurring theme: you need a .22 long rifle, a pistol, a shotgun, a battle rifle, and a precision rifle. Well, in my experience, most people never do enough firearms training to really get proficient with... Continue Reading →
