Chiefs Special 5 shot revolver to Glocks. The Glock pistols have become my favorite over the years due to its lightweight, easily replaced […]
Rock Island Armory has tamed the 10mm with a 6″-barreled 1911 known as the Pro Match Ultra.

However depending on how you’re trained or how your brain works, because we are all different, certain firearms can be more conducive to your shooting skills than others. That being said I have my own personal standards for […]

Whether you’re simply tired of the static range, looking to sharpen your skills, or wanting to test them against others in a safe and legal way, competitive shooting offers a lot. There’s a style and category to fit just about anyone’s budget, interest, and skill level. A […]
Tell me about your pistol? This was an interesting topic brought up at the Kyle Defoor 2 day pistol course I attended. This topic was brought up during one of his small break out sessions he does throughout the day to give your eyes a break from shooting. The usual response to someone asking a dude about […]
