Your “mindset” is the foundational part of your plan and will help you dictate and prioritize the steps you take in its formation. You have to decide who (notice I said “who” not “what”) you are willing to protect, how far you are willing to go to protect them and how best to go about […]
Stern Defense makes great AR magazine well adapters which turn your AR Lower into a Pistol Caliber Carbine. The version that caught my eye uses S&W M&P .45 ACP mags. Mag-AD series adapters install in seconds, just like an AR magazine. They have a separate magazine release at the bottom you manipulate with your trigger […]
My standard method of carrying a handgun goes from an OWB kydex holster to a cargo pocket holster depending on what part of the day I’m in. I’ve never cared for IWB, and when I first tried it I found it quite uncomfortable for anything bigger than a J frame. That’s why when Black Storm […]
When Honor Defense released their Honor Guard sub-compact single-stack 9mm handguns a lot of noise was made and attention paid. It was not only a new handgun, but an entirely new manufacturer. The Honor Defense cadre consists of experienced members of the industry. For one reason or another they left their jobs with the big […]
When you think about training to use a firearm to stop a lethal threat, it’s healthy to think of it as serious business…because it is.

Axelson Tactical and Hurricane Group, and Cabela’s have teamed up to raise money for hurricane relief. We gave you a tabletop look of this rifle here. this rifle is truly a piece of art. Aesthetically and physically the rifle was built with purpose. It is truly a dream build. 6.5mm Creedmoor is not a round […]
Having just returned from my first Triggrcon, I thought I’d share a few notes and products from the event. For those who don’t know, Triggrcon is a firearms industry convention started by John Hwang (Rainier Arms owner) that is hosted annually in the Pacific Northwest. First I’d like to mention how different Triggrcon is from […]
When scouting or hunting, nothing beats high-quality binoculars and spotting scopes for revealing where the game is and isn’t. Even the best glass relies on the user to develop his or her optic skill set. Try out some of these ideas to improve your next glassing experience. Don’t Expect Easy Easy glassing? That’s a bull […]
One of the things that I find fascinating about the world of firearms training is how fast opinions or personal anecdotes become set-in-stone rules. “Rules” like… The 21 foot rule EVERYONE will have tunnel vision in a defensive shooting situation 2 to the body and 1 to the head solves all problems You’ll never see […]
