It’s really hard to dig into the subject of gloves. They’re like shoes. Pick any intended use, and you get a million and one of them of every size, shape, style, and design. For most types of wear and work, the designs are pretty well thought out. Materials vary depending on your intended purposes, and […]
Rep. Honda (D-CA) has proposed H.R. 378 (HR BILL 378), a bill banning the ownership of personal body armor. It reads, “To prohibit the purchase, ownership, or possession of enhanced body armor by civilians, with exceptions.” The nomenclature ‘Responsible Body Armor Possession Act’ seems more than a little dubious, using the same sort of misleading, seemingly innocuous jargon we’ve seen […]
If you’re a fan of the 1911, and I am, you probably root for any opportunity where Ol’ Slab Sides is picked to ride along on the hip of a professional operator (and yes, there are some operators that do still run this platform.) You may giggle a little bit at the concept of MARSOC, […]
Ammunition is a topic that can be infinitely fascinating, as it is one of the few things that one can look at and see literally dozens of choices that all do the same thing in slightly different ways. We’ve discussed the topic of shot placement and ballistic effectiveness, and I’m sure we can all agree […]
I’ve tried to cover quite a bit so far on rifle and pistol accuracy, including techniques and methods for practicing. To be sure, our readers are also great sources of knowledge and I’ve learned and enhanced my own techniques as a result of the discussions as much as writing the articles themselves. One of the […]
So, you read my thoughts on the 1911, and you know that this pistol can be a serious contender, but the gun takes some knowledge and work. To recap, in the words of Larry Vickers: if you treat your gun like you treat your lawn mower, then you probably should stick with a Glock, HK, […]
Alright, so you’ve been out plinking away with your air rifle and you feel pretty comfortable on the trigger. Trigger control and technique are coming along, and you’ve learned: Squeeze the trigger. Relax on the rifle. Focus on the target. Smooth crisp trigger pull. Now let’s talk about the next hardest thing to do: Mental […]
Of all of the parts of the system of shooting, trigger control and body control are the basic foundation. Before we continue looking at other aspects of shooting for accuracy, these skills are the ones that a shooter must hone first. Smooth is Fast, Fast is Smooth. “Slow down guys, take your time taking precise […]
Bravo Two and I were talking about his love of precision rifles and he’s bringing you a pretty good look at some basic long gun fundamentals. There is always much to learn out there and we encourage you guys to chime in (I guess we know it’s coming anyway! haha). My friend Sally Lyndley is […]
One of the problems with daily concealed carry, for those of us who aren’t able to carry openly all day, is actual concealability. If you work in an office, especially, you can’t even easily plan your attire for covering up a gun on the waistband. So, what do you do? Choices to be Made Most […]
