Formulating a Family Home-Defense Plan

12 Gauge Shotgun: The Most Effective Long Gun For Fighting Up Close

The shotgun…One of the most revered, respected, and arguably the best and most effective close quarter fighting long gun you can employ. Throughout history, the shotgun, mainly the 12 gauge variety, has played a pivotal role in warfare and day to day survival and protection, even to this day. It has been trusted to protect […]

Choosing the Right Sling: Support When You Need It

Today we accessorize long guns with lights, lasers, variable magnification optics and slings. While some of these things may be unnecessary, I feel like the sling is the most important. With all the things that it helps a shooter to accomplish, you can’t go without a sling.  When in serious use in a fight, you […]

Kahr CM9: More Than A Bargain

Break-In Period: Is Your Gun Fit For Duty?

A break-in period is a vital step and should be a key focus when getting a new gun you intend to carry or serve in a self defense role. When you get a new pistol, rifle or shotgun, you are getting a freshly finished product made of metal, wood, polymer, or some other material shaped […]

The Knoxx BreachersGrip – Tame the Shockwave

Oh, man, have I been having fun with the Mossberg 590 Shockwave. There is just something mischievously fun about a Non-NFA 14 inch barreled 12 gauge pump action, that’s totally not a shotgun. I’ve upgraded mine quite a bit in a short period of time. Sure it’s not the most practical weapon, but I don’t […]

Duck hunting can vary in complexity from relatively simple jump shooting along a local stream to a major expedition involving travel, large decoy spreads, guide fees and lodging costs. All forms of successful duck hunting have one thing in common: at the moment of truth, a shot at a fast-flying duck will undoubtedly present itself. […]

Home Defense Shotgun Reload Options

If you plan to use a shotgun for personal defense, you should understand its number one weakness, which is limited capacity. Though people make a habit of touting the power of the 12 gauge, people do not always hit their targets, and people do not always stop when they get shot. That being said, you […]

TriStar TT15 Trap Shotgun: First Look

Sporting shotguns often times conjure up images of English gentlemen shooting birds while decked out head to toe in tweed caps and regalia. This isn’t necessarily a true representation of shotgun sports but it’s one that many people have. The other thing about shotgun sports like trap and skeet shooting is that the shotguns used […]

Watch: Back to Basics with a Barrel Break 12 Gauge Shooting Black Powder

Dave Canterbury of Self Reliance Outfitters is the master of the the survival shotgun. In this video, Dave shows how to use a single shot 12 gauge shotgun as a black powder rifle. Being able to convert your shotgun to black powder may come in handy when you run out of 12 gauge shells, but […]
