Courtesy of Breach Bang Clear Speed & Precision: Pistol Red Dots vs. Irons by Paul Gardner; 📷 by inimitable Taylor Lange Red dot sights on pistols are becoming ever more prevalent with each passing year, as the benefits are huge. I’ve personally been shooting some brand of red dot on a pistol since 2011, when Trent Zimmer, CEO […]
Anyone who uses firearms know how useful hearing protection is. During the beginning of my tenure in the Army we were give ear plugs (yellow foam). Eventually, we moved over to electronic protection (similar to this). For me, there were many pros and cons to this switch. These new devices were wildly uncomfortable with our helmet […]

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 […]
