I love guys that customize their guns. The Mosin–Nagant (Russian: Винтовка Мосина) is a favorite of garage gunsmiths because it is plentiful, cheap, rugged, simple to use, and effective.

The world is filled with violent angry people. The cops don’t always win. We seldom […]
Webster’s Definition of TACTIC: 1. a device for accomplishing an end 2. a method of employing forces in combat Two or more of these devices or methods would constitute “Tactics”. “Tactics mean doing what you can with what you have.” Saul Alinsky There is a move afoot to ridicule the ubiquitous use of the word “Tactics”.

The .40 S&W cartridge has been called the “ideal cartridge for personal defense and law enforcement.” The .40 S&W was specifically developed to duplicate performance of the FBI’s reduced-velocity 10mm cartridge and fit into medium-frame (9mm size) automatic handguns.

For decades, the American military has struggled with ways to improve handgun effectiveness while avoiding the bad press of using hollow point ammo (sometimes called “Dum dum” bullets).
