History repeats itself…sadly and ignorantly. In the last few days, an ill-informed propagandist from MSNBC said that someone with a pistol doesn’t have a chance against a bad guy with a rifle because rifle bullets travel 3x faster. And then a US Senator said that getting shot by a pistol was no more effective than […]
So there are not any actual set in stone rules for an everyday carry handgun, everybody is different and has different situational needs. That being said I typically tend to stick to a set of requirements when it comes to selecting a firearm for an EDC. This has nothing to do with caliber or brand […]
Drawing a pistol is an art-form that requires practice to do subconsciously efficient. Every holster and firearms combination is different or has the possibility to be, given the different body types and capabilities of different people. The draw can be done from the same setup a variety of ways depending on the individual’s position as well. There are […]
My Smith & Wesson 38 Special titanium alloy J frame; the gun I pulled on an attempted carjacker years ago. My first handgun was a Glock 19, I sold that and got a Glock 27. Didn’t like that so sold it and got this when I was promoted to manager. I didn’t want to look like […]

I was slouched over a stack of pancakes in the BUD/S chow hall, quietly experiencing the thousands of microabrasions that come with 48 hours of being wet and sandy. It was Tuesday night of Hell Week, and it was the first time the pain of it all had really settled in. It was the burning […]
I have owned several folding knives that became favorites for various reasons. Sometimes it is a functional feature, other times aesthetic. With Emerson’s CQC-7BW it all boils down to that incredible chisel ground ‘B’ blade and Tanto style point. It wraps everything I want out of a blade into one – durability, design, and function. […]
When it comes to purchasing a new firearm, it pays to do your homework. You want to know that you’re getting a reliable platform, that it doesn’t have any glaring safety issues, and that you’re getting a good value for the price you’re paying. The problem is, it can be pretty tough to find that […]
It’s okay to own a piece of EDC gear that isn’t tactical. Really, it is. Sure there are some items that don’t have a substitute, but when it comes to a watch I found a company that focuses on bringing a piece of American history back to life in such a way that it fits […]
“When a door is kicked in, deadbolts and chains aren’t enough to protect your home. Flimsy door frames and wood trim shatter and splinter when forced. By the time an alarm goes off, it’s already too late. Guard against door kick-ins and break-ins with the NIGHTLOCK door barricade. NIGHTLOCK is real home security for your […]
