I have a love-hate relationship with the small-frame revolver: I love it because it is the gun I can carry when I need to dress in a way that does not facilitate concealment of my double-stack auto loader. I hate it because I would far prefer to have my auto on me should I actually... Continue Reading →
Phlster Fightworthy Gen 2 Sheath Review
I have been carrying the Ka Bar TDI knife for a couple of years now, on an almost daily basis. As I have trained more in hand-to-hand/weapons integration skills I have come to embrace the obvious benefits of a center-line carried fixed blade. Since I believe in always carrying a knife anyway, as an essential... Continue Reading →
Thoughts on the COVID 19 Run on Guns
As a nation, we might come out of this pandemic with several million new gun owners. Does this offer me hope that we will have several million new gun voters who consider the 2A when going to the polls? Nope. The sort of person who has never armed themselves before, and now only buys a... Continue Reading →
Handgun Skills: Clearing Malfunctions – Keep it Simple
Guns are machines and as such they can malfunction. I have trained with a lot of people and it seems every instructor puts his or her own spin on how to clear malfunctions. It almost appears that malfunction clearance is a badge of honor in which to stake out your own niche. This is a... Continue Reading →
Concealment Rules the Day: Especially During SHTF
The concealed handgun has two primary attributes: First, it gives you a weapon that extends in function beyond contact distance which can be carried on the person. Second, it gives you the ability to keep said weapon concealed on your person. If you open carry you throw away the second attribute, which is a significant... Continue Reading →
Long Gun Efficacy in Civilian Self-Defense
Let me say from the very beginning, before anyone gets hysterical and accuses me of being an inti-gunner (imagine): I think every American that believes in individual liberty should own and know how to use an AR15 or similar rifle, and should have the magazines, accessories, body armor, and plate carrier to go along with...

Coronavirus: The Real Lesson to Learn
So, as a moderate prepper myself I am compelled to broach this subject. As of now there seems to be two extremes concerning the emerging spread of Coronavirus: those who are already labeling it a pandemic, and those who say it is not an issue, less problem then even the common flu. So, is it... Continue Reading →
My Three Favorite Tools of Preparedness
If I could only have three tools of preparedness and personal protection it would be a handgun, a blade, and a good light. The three pictured here are my favorites of each and represent my daily carry. In particular, this is a Glock 26 Gen 3, a Ka Bar TDI knife, and a Streamlight Protac... Continue Reading →
Gun Control is Rooted in State Worship
I have found a consistent pattern among leftists who are fanatical Second Amendment haters: they worship the state. Government is their god. While the average democrat typically votes for other issues, guns not factoring heavily into the agenda, the far-left commies that truly hate private gun ownership do so for a singular reason: it is...

Shooting the Handgun is a Very Perishable Skill
This past week I finally made it back to the range after two months of no shooting. I usually don’t shoot at all in January as I am often traveling that time of year, but this year it has been a bit longer than usual due to some unexpected demands that have come up. In... Continue Reading →
