HK VP9: To 5000 Rounds and Beyond

HK VP9 at 5000 rounds and counting

After 5000 rounds, my VP9 has championed on and has maintained as a solid and reliable pistol that hasn’t ceased to impress. Though not typically thought of as a duty pistol, the VP9 holds a reputation for being sturdy and hard to beat. From my experience, this pistol can be shot without cleaning, shot until its […]

Alien Gear Cloak Tuck IWB Holster: Out Of This World

When you intend to conceal a pistol, you need a holster that can accomplish a few things.

Ruger American Pistol: Bravo Ruger!

Ruger American Pistol: Bravo Ruger!

Often the name Ruger is associated with budget guns that are commonly referred to as “lawyer guns” for obvious reasons. The biggest reason is due to them having a slew of passive and active safeties all throughout the gun. Now this isn’t entirely bad, because this just means that this one design is legal in […]

Last Minute Christmas Gifts for Gun and Gear Guys

I’m writing this on the 20th and just thinking about how happy I am with the fact I was basically done Christmas shopping in November. Typically I’m a last minute Christmas gift type so I’m sitting pretty this year. But I’m willing to bet there are more than a few people still scrambling. So to […]

Loaded for Bear: Is 10mm Sufficient?

Spring fishing season is upon us.  Cold streams tumble out of the rockies not yet filled with sediments of major snowmelt and summer is mere weeks away.  With summer comes backpacking into the wilderness, camping trips, followed by archery season and the general rifle big game season.  Why state the obvious?  All of these recreational […]

Perfect Home Defense Gun?

At my job at the local gun shop, it seems like every day I talk to people seeking information on a gun for home defense. By lunch time, I’ve probably discussed the same questions eight or nine times.
