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 →
There is much ado about active shooters. I prefer the term active killers as mass murderers tend to use other tools besides just firearms: we have seen vehicle attacks, edged weapon attacks, and explosive attacks of late. Each, of course, requires some degree of differing response. But in particular the active shooter seems to be... Continue Reading →
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 →
I am of the absolute opinion that the handgun is the top priority for the armed citizen. The vast majority of defensive gun uses, even in the home, are done with a handgun. They are small enough to be carried concealed, and also small enough to be much faster in deployment from quick-access safes in... Continue Reading →

The concept of the safe room is that a household will designate a particular room, be it the master bedroom or perhaps a different room, in which to gather and secure during a home invasion. The theory here is that this designated... Continue Reading →

This may be a fun all-American pastime, but if you want to get good with your handgun this is not going to cut it. Obviously, seeking out... Continue Reading →
I just spent five days at my folks' country place. My father is an avid shooter. In particular he is an exceptional revolver shooter. His ability with the small-frame revolver and his extensive experience with it led me to see the merits of the platform in the first place. Flying to his place for a... Continue Reading →
There is an enormous deficit in the understanding of legal principles concerning the use of force among most gun owners, even among those that carry a firearm for personal protection. This needs to change. This is one issue I tend to broach immediately with new shooters who are interested in self-defense. I find there is... Continue Reading →
Most of us spend a lot of time in office buildings. I envy folks who spend much of their professional life outdoors. Of course when it is 15 degrees and blowing sleet as I sit in a comfortable office sipping coffee, not so much. Anyway, most of us tend to let down our guard in... Continue Reading →
The draw and presentation of the concealed handgun is, bar none, the most important skill in the toolbox of the defensive handgunner. Almost all fights in the civilian world involve the need to produce the gun from a concealed state and bring it into action. How fast you can reload most likely won’t matter. How...
