Gun cleaning is one of those chores that comes with the fun. There was a time when I enjoyed it. Spending some quiet time cleaning every nook and cranny until it shined. Running dozens of patches through the bore along with a multi-step program of specialty cleaning agents. Then life got busy and I became […]
There are several factors to consider when evaluating a pistol for concealed carry, including ergonomics, size, capacity, and reliability. Reliability is the subject of this post, but I will also discuss some of the other elements that come into play when choosing a concealed carry pistol. If there arises a self defense situation where a […]
Today we accessorize long guns with lights, lasers, variable magnification optics and slings. While some of these things may be unnecessary, I feel like the sling is the most important. With all the things that it helps a shooter to accomplish, you can’t go without a sling. When in serious use in a fight, you […]
The pinnacle of combat optics, in my opinion, is the ACOG. Ever since I was first issued one in the School of Infantry, Infantry Training Battalion, I’ve been impressed. I carried one on various platforms for years professionally and it’s one of those pieces of gear that I truly loved in my Marine Corps experience. […]
Today, I’ve got a video for you that’s a first of it’s kind. I get asked all the time about various laser training platforms, including the SIRT Dry Fire Pistol, the M&P SIRT, the SIRT Pocket Pistol, Laser-Ammo’s laser barrel insert for airsoft guns, and the CoolFire Trainer. It took me awhile (monthS) to get […]
Walther recently answered those looking for a sub-compact PPQ with the PPQ SC. If you missed our original coverage of this gun see the tabletop review here. The PPQ is an evolution of the P99 which proved unfortunately misunderstood by most of the American public. An update to styling, American-friendly button magazine release, and simplified […]
LKCI, LLC’s Regent CC45 brings the Commander-sized 1911 to the enlisted man’s budget. Not long ago Zenith imported a batch of great, affordable 1911s made by Tisas. Unfortunately just as popularity seemed to be growing Zenith dropped their handgun line to focus on their roller-locker H&K clones. This left fans of the Tisas 1911s without […]
A mother (Alicia Keating) and her two children were shopping in the frozen food department at Walmart when a man (Sammie Lamont Wallace) began stalking them . When the mother wasn’t paying attention, Wallace walked up to her cart, pulled her two year old daughter from it, threatened the child with a knife and demanded […]
Shooting upward to the head on an imminent lethal threat not only gets your head out of the line of fire and delivers a immediately incapacitating counter strike, but further, you can limit your liability in the event you miss. Of course one stock response is “don’t miss”. However, for anyone that’s done any scenarios […]
Sometimes things just catch your eye and SHOT Show and you just can’t stay away. Some guns just sing that Harpy’s song a little too well and you’re drawn into a booth before you know it. Torkmag’s Booth offered me something I’d never seen before. An AR 1911 conversion. Well, an AR that takes 1911 […]
