This week we had an excellent CCX2 show with guest Darryl Bolke. Those of you that are into firearms training are probably acquainted with Darryl as he is well known in the circle. Darryl has a lot of experience in many facets of law enforcement, private security, and indeed as a concealed carrier. We discuss... Continue Reading →
The Best Tools for Most Civilian Self-Defenders
There is no denying that the concealed handgun is the primary and best tool for dealing with a lethal threat. However, the pistol is not the appropriate solution for every situation, and most of us cannot be armed with it at all times, in all places. There are several tools that I strongly believe most...

Thoughts on Training with Multiple Guns
I have been notoriously outspoken in my opinion that most concealed carriers are best served by focusing most, if not all, of their training on a single handgun platform. The fact is that from one gun to another you face different grips, grip angles, trigger pulls, ergonomics, and other changes that simply demand some cross-over... Continue Reading →
The Handheld Light as an Impact Weapon
I prefer to carry a handheld light that protrudes past my palm when I hold it in the typical hammer fist grip. There are two reasons for this: first, it is easier to point and light things up with the Bezel unobstructed by the hand. Second, I like having the ability to strike with the... Continue Reading →
Interview on Lions of Liberty Finding Freedom Podcast
I was invited on the Finding Freedom show, one of the Lions if Liberty podcasts, to discuss recent events, Second Amendment, and my book 21st Century Minute Man. This was a good show, despite some audio issues which seem to have originated from my end. Anyway, if you want to arm yourself with some good... Continue Reading →
Handgun Accuracy Standards in the Age of Mass Murder
For decades the mass murderer, most commonly in the form of an active shooter, has been deemed an anomaly in the realm of self-defense considerations. It still is. While the media goes hysterical over such events, the only reason they do so is to push for civilian disarmament. The leftwing media incorporates gang related shootings... Continue Reading →

I recently trained with Steve Fisher of Sentinel Concepts and it was the first time I have taken a class with him. I invited him on the show to discuss the subject of low light shooting, and many other topics. This was a good episode of CCX2. Steve drops some serious knowledge about low light...

A Guide to the Speedloader Reload
I have used a speed strip to provide a reload for my snub revolver most of the time I have spent carrying it. The speed strip is easy to conceal, like the snub itself, thus making it the feasible carry companion. Still, I have worked with all manner of speedloaders over the years, and have...

AAR: Low Light Handgun with Sentinel Concepts
I have been taught low light shooting techniques in a variety of pistol classes in the past, but I have wanted to take a dedicated low light class for a long time. I always presumed that the skill would be best learned in a stand-alone, topic specific, training environment. After attending this class with Steve... Continue Reading →
Three Reasons for a Hard NO to Gun Control
In the wake of the sickening tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, the majority of a particular political party is, again, dancing in the blood of murdered children to push their gun control agenda. They are gunning (pun intended) hard for universal background checks and red flag laws. Neither proposition would have stopped this killer, or any... Continue Reading →
