The Great Caliber Debate: What action movies have to say about 9mm vs .45

I’ve owned a 1911 for some time, and although I’ve had other pistols before it, I’ve found that there aren’t very many guns I’m more accurate with than my trusty old black and brown .45. To be honest, I’ve never put much stock into the Glock vs 1911 debate. They’re both reliable, accurate, and easy […]

My EDC hot rod: Why I just can’t seem to leave my old Glock 19 alone

I didn’t start my journey into firearms as a Glock guy – in fact, the first pistol I ever purchased was by trusty old 1911. It took time, and the constant badgering of men with tactical experience and proficiency that I respected to convince me that I needed to try one out for myself. So, […]

Breathing new life into a classic | MCARBO Marlin 60 Trigger Job Bundle review

My Marlin 60 was the second firearm I was given as a teenager, and many years later it is the oldest working firearm I have in my collection. I painted it when I was young to cover up its already rough exterior and have been using it ever since. It is a squirrel hunting gun, […]

The Suarez Covert 12 - The Ultimate Not a Shotgun

The Suarez Covert 12 – The Ultimate Not a Shotgun

I like shotguns…like a lot. You may have noticed I also have an affinity for the so-called “Not a shotgun” firearms. These “Not a Shotguns” are guns like the Remington Tac 14 and Mossberg Shockwave. Gabe Suarez of Suarez International has been a big fan of these “Not a Shotgun” NFA free short barreled guns. He […]

Everything You Need to Know About Shooting with Red Dot Sights

The Full Circle: Tachypsychia, Shooting, Scanning and Safety Circle

If we have no choice but to engage a threat, we need to scan after the threat has been stopped. Scanning helps us begin a (hopefully) rapid return to normalcy post traumatic event.
