IWB Holster for Concealed Carry!

I have used a few IWB (inside the waistband) holsters for my everyday concealed carry. One of the biggest problems that I have when carrying is “printing”, showing the outline of my pistol through my shirt when bending over, kneeling, etc. For those who are looking for a reliable, easy and fast to draw IWB […]

At Home Shooting Range Time!

Many times we find that getting to the shooting range can be a hassle, may it be the weather, finances, range limitations, etc. There is a way you can stay on top of your game when you aren’t able to get out and shoot, and only cost you a few dollars. Something that I make […]

Combat Pistol Training!

Many times we find ourselves “training” on the range or at home. I ask my students often to describe or show me their combat training regimen. More often than not, I have to break them some bad news….It’s not “combat” training. When training for combat, self-defense, or home defense, you need to practice realistically. 9 […]

Training with the SIRT!

There is a great product that can still give you the pleasure of a good day on the range and further sharpen your skills. The SIRT (Shot Indicating Resetting Trigger […]

Dry Fire and Snap Caps!

I recently held a class for a group of a LE SWAT team this past week and the question about snap caps came up. “Do you really need them, will dry fire hurt my weapon, etc.? The answer to the question is YES and NO. The reasoning for using snap caps is to not damage […]

Training for Muscle Memory at its Finest!

This has to be one of the best examples of muscle memory that I have ever seen and plan to post a video of myself doing the drill in the featured video as well. I’m sure we’ve all seen the videos of instructors shooting an AR-15 extremely fast at three stationary targets in the 1,2,3,4,5 […]

When One 1911 Isn’t Enough!

I hear a lot from 1911 fans that it is the best pistol to own, it’s a one shot caliber for a pistol, etc., but I’ve never heard any pistol shooter/owner wishing they could get their hands on a double-barrelled pistol. Well now you will have that opportunity. I first came across this pistol at […]

Iron Man Suit for future Special Operations?

This may be the future of our special operations troops. The head of U.S. Special Operations command, Adm. William McRaven once said that he wants to build an Iron Man suit for special operators that will repel bullets and offer super human strengths. As crazy or un-realistic as this sounds, it looks like it is already […]

Automatic Magazine Loader!

As many of us know, loading magazines by hand can be quit boring, especially when you’re loading them one round at a time. I recently came across this product and thought I’d share it. The AML5.56 (Automatic Magazine Loader 5.56). The patent is currently pending and I haven’t seen any price range on it, though […]
