Talk about a contradiction in terms! How can you be patient in a hurry? And what is visual patience? Visual patience is simply waiting until you can see to take action. If you’re doing sighted shooting, it means waiting until you can see your sights to press the trigger. It means waiting until you can […]
LKCI, LLC brings us the Regent BR9 for those who love history, but live on a working-man’s budget. The Browning High Power has been in military service since 1935 and was produced for more than 80 years. The name comes from the increased capacity of 13 rounds, nearly doubling what most pistols carried at the […]
The comparison between .223 and 5.56 isn’t a new one, so there is a lot of discussion to weed through to learn about the two. Ultimately, because they originated from the same cartridge, they are very similar, but that does not mean that they are necessarily interchangeable. This article discusses three key differences between .223 […]
As a firearms trainer, one of the most frequent conversations I have with new shooters is some version of, “Which gun should I buy?” The question typically comes from responsible citizens, new or inexperienced in carrying firearms or owning one for home defense I like to start by asking, “Where did you hear about out […]

The first thing I want to start off by saying is that there is no “magic bullet”. What I mean by that is you can have the sexiest hollow point projectile on the market running through your gun but if you don’t hit what you are aiming at or your weapon doesn’t feed or shoot […]
Not so long ago, we took shotgun shells out of PALS webbing loops one at a time. This was ok for breeching where you only need a few rounds, but the shotgun is enjoying a renascence of relevance and versatility. The low-capacity, slow-loading shotgun is old news. New shotguns hold lots of rounds, and competition-developed […]
Kevin Pratt’s goal at Invictus Practical is to design the best performing, most versatile, and highest-quality competition kit available at any price – period. His new Holster Hangers are all that. They are a brilliant interface which allows you combine any holster with any mounting system at widely adjustable angle and cant. If circumstances or […]
World champion shooter Rob Leatham and Top Shot winner Dustin Ellermann poke holes in the Push Pull theory of shooting grips.

Controlling the recoil and muzzle flip of the firearm provides a faster […]
