There is a misconceived notion that the Geneva Convention restricts means of warfare to exclude measures that cause “excess” bodily harm – such as hollow point bullets. These things are addressed in the Hague Conventions (held in 1899 and 1907). The Geneva Convention is the general name for the four treaties and three protocols that […]
I’ve had some emails, personal messages, and comments from people who follow my YouTube channel requesting me to take a look at the Ruger SR9C, and have asked me how it stacks up against the Glock 19. I hadn’t put many rounds through either, so I decided that meant it was time to hit the […]
A man walks along a lonely road, barely more than a foot-beaten path, nestled into the Scottish mountainside. A long scabbard affixes a claymore to his back to protect him from anything the wilds of the wood may present him on his journey home. The sporran slung around his waist jingles with coin, marking the […]
Like many shooters, I started with a .22. My dad taught me the fundamentals of sight picture, grip, trigger control, breathing, mindset, and stance, with a Ruger Mark III Target. As soon as I was familiar with the basics of shooting, I moved up to shooting his Springfield M1911 A1 Loaded. That’s when my love […]
Springfield Armory’s new XD-S is a bad ass carry gun in a sleek, small package. The XD-S packs 6 rounds of .45ACP into a 21.5 oz firearm.

The game’s premise places the main character, Karl Fairburne, in war-torn Berlin at the end of World War II, with the directive of tracking down and assassinating Nazi scientists involved with the V2 ballistic […]
Four men creep on their bellies through the dust of an Afghan mountain. For the moment, they are concealed less than 500 yards away from an unanticipated enemy force, which outnumbers their group 5-to-1. As our small crew rushes for cover, the enemy fighters detect them and open fire immediately. As rounds zing around their […]
While I was at the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting and Convention, I had the awesome opportunity to meet Chris Cerino (pro shooter, and History Channel’s Top Shot season one competitor) at FNH’s booth. He introduced me to their beautiful FN SPR A5 M bolt action rifle. It features 10 and 5 round tactical box […]
Lately, the market has exploded with compact, lightweight (polymer) pistol options. Considering that this reviewer has a small frame, some of these highly concealable handguns have more appeal than others. With this in mind, some range time was in order to compare three of the most popular polymer framed 9mm pistols in the CCW field: […]
