Concealed Carry: The Diamond Back 380
When I was out at my friend and former SEAL platoon mate Mike Ritland’s ranch just outside of Dallas he showed me his concealed carry of choice. I haven’t had a chance to fire this bad boy but Mike said it’s a great little gun and he carries it everywhere. You have to love Texas […]

Navy SEAL Issue MK25: A Personal Favorite

Glock 19 First Impression
First let me say that I’m a HUGE Glock fan. I carried the 17 when I worked for a certain three letter group in Iraq and have fired thousands of rounds through it without a hitch. When I was looking to have something a little more concealable (I don’t like Glock’s small carry options) I […]

The Glock 34 Revisted
Well, I’m still waiting to pick up my G19 (my TS clearance was easier than buying a gun in CA) so had to shoot my friend Mark’s G34. This is a beautiful gun. I thought you guys would appreciate a little range time action…. Brandon %EMBED3%
