Courtesy of Tactical Life Competition pistol shooters want a reliable, accurate pistol that they can take out of the box, load and shoot at the buzzer. We want a pistol that performs without the high expense of a custom gun but with all the features we expect in a competition gun, like a smooth, lightweight, […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life Glock fans have been clamoring for a .45 ACP version of the “Practical/Tactical” series for years, almost since the G35’s introduction. Glock’s introduction of the G41 Gen4 provides one of the best pistols possible for tactical teams, specialty units or officers used to carrying full-sized pistols. As a longtime Glock 20 user, […]
In late April of this year, one of our Glock 19s was damaged during a training exercise. The pistol was set up for a failure to extract (sometimes called a “double feed”). Two live rounds were used for this drill. I have done this drill well over 200 times over the last six years, and […]

Defoor is the owner of Defoor […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life The chiseled gun-writer-turned-CIA asset stood noiselessly and alone in the frosty rain of an Afghan midnight. The sensations of cold and fatigue were gone, banished to that distant place where he sent things for which he had no need. He melded motionlessly with the darkness—invisible, silent, lethal. His package was a […]
After almost a year and more than 5 thousand rounds through my RMR’d work/ccw gun, I am not looking back. At all. A couple of remarks… -You don’t “find the dot” …the dot finds you. What I mean by this is also the greatest attribute of a red dot on a pistol for defensive purposes […]
Taking a friend or family member to the range for the first time? Shooting out-of-town and forget your ear and eye protection? Are you building a range bag? If any of these situations apply, or about a million more, the Safariland Range Kit is for you. The Safariland range kit is a mixture of personal protection equipment […]
The Ruger Precision Rifle is a very accurate and affordable rifle right out of the box. Advertising sub minute of angle accuracy from the factory cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel.
