During my 1,900 hours as a defensive shooting instructor one of the dominating questions I was asked was about holster selection. In my experience this is the hardest one to answer. I have good news and bad new for you: The perfect holster match for your body shape, selected firearm, carry position, and attire exists. […]
Smith & Wesson 327 TRR8, A Fast Shooting Wheelgun
I’m a history guy and I like a good history story. As with many people, I also enjoy a pistol that shoots well especially a revolver. Smith & Wesson manages to combine all of that in the 327 TRR8 revolver. But WHY, you ask, why should I care about a revolver in this day and […]

Looking into resolving the shortcomings the US Army experienced during World War II, firearm manufacturers raced to create a better version of the .30-06 Springfield, which performed relatively poorly, especially in adapting to semi-automatic rifles. In the early 1950s, these experimentations led to the development of the T65 series, thanks to the .300 Savage as […]
