For the vast majority of the population no matter how good our eyesight is there will come a point in our lives when it will begin to decline. Usually this occurs around the time we enter our fifties. This was the case with me I didn’t have perfect vision but it was good. As I […]
Axelson Tactical now has a line of customized firearms to commemorate the life of Matthew Axelson (Killed on Operation Red Wings). One of the newer platforms now available is the AXE 19. This is a customized Glock 19. In a previous article we took a closer look at the customizations of the gun itself. I […]
Glock vs. 1911?  I’m sure this will spark a conversation just by bringing up this topic in the pistol community.  I get asked all the time at ranges from all types of owners, may they be LE, Military (former or active), or just an individual who owns a firearm for self-protection, “What pistol do you […]
I’ve been carrying a handgun professionally and personally for twenty-six years. Like most gun owners I have a box of holsters that I have accumulated over the years. All were to be the last one I would ever need. I still occasionally purchase carry gear, but for the past six or seven years my go […]

Sporting a Tan body and Blue follower, it was engineered to address feeding issues with M855A1 ammunition. […]
S3F Solutions decided to include me in their testing and evaluation of their new Glock barrels. After Paul Van Dunk of Pace Performance ran the test barrel for a few weeks, it was sent over to me.  The barrel I received was a stainless steel S3F Glock 17 profile barrel threaded for a suppressor. It […]
I love my Glock pistols, but I run into the problem of them not fitting just right in my hand.  The way the middle finger knuckle rubs up against the trigger guard, the beaver tail not fitting your hand for a higher grip, the pistol grip slipping from your hand in sweaty or moist conditions,  are some of […]
I’m sure we’ve all seen the videos on YouTube of a family being confronted by a group of aggressive individuals on the highway, the parents pulled out of the car and beaten in front of their kids.
