In the last few days, I’ve spent time in a couple of different firearm stores, a gun show, and at my local gun range, and at each locale, I have been overwhelmed with the negative attitudes I have received from male shooters. There is a mentality of disrespect toward females at the range that is […]

The Crossbreed SuperTuck Deluxe: Ugly, but Effective IWB
The Crossbreed Super Tuck Deluxe with the standard belt loop clips offers a stable platform that helps to disperse the pistol’s weight. The wide back in standard cut, protects the skin from uncomfortable points or angles on the firearm, while the combat cut allows greater access to the pistol’s grip. The horsehide also absorbs sweat, […]
ESEE-4 Fixed blade: The do all workhorse knife
A bit earlier this week I received the ESEE-4 made by Randall’s adventure and training out of Alabama. The ESEE-4 is a fixed blade knife with a 4-inch blade, and the blade itself is made from 1095 carbon steel. The ESEE-4 is a full tang and feature two grip panels. The first time I pulled […]
HIPERTOUCH Elite Trigger – Smooth is Fast and Very Accurate
The HIPERTOUCH Elite is the practical version of the Hiperfire series of drop-in triggers for AR-15 and AR-10-style modern sporting rifles (MSR). The Elite trigger does two contradictory things – it lightens the trigger pull weight while increasing the force of the hammer fall. This sorcery is accomplished by two toggle springs which can be […]
Conceal Carry Extra Ammunition in Plain Sight with SnagMag
SnagMag knows that no survivor of a gunfight has come out of the life or death situation thinking, “I wish I hadn’t carried that extra ammunition on me.” Is there such a thing as “extra” ammunition? How much ammunition is enough ammunition to carry when carrying concealed? Is what you have in the gun going […]
Beretta Nano: Unnecessarily Unappreciated
The Beretta Nano, or the BU9 (Beretta USA 9mm) Nano, is certainly a mysterious and heavily avoided pistol for reasons I don’t understand after owning it. But lets talk about how all of this started. Beretta has been around for about 5 centuries. They have been building quality guns for the military and the civilian enthusiast since its start in […]
Ranger Proof Enhanced ELC Carbine: Tough by Design
AR-15s have been described as the “barbie dolls for men”. I prefer to look at them as Legos with which we can build any rifle, pistol, or Short-Barreled Rifle style we want from a $400 plinker, to $3,000 safe queens. The available mix of after-market and factory parts is bewildering and offers more choice than […]
Things We Can Do RIGHT NOW to Make Schools Safer
Today, Bloomberg’s Everytown organization is sponsoring protest marches across the country to demonize and hopefully criminalize legal gun ownership by responsible, law abiding adults. They say that the goal of the marches are to stop gun violence, stop mass shootings at schools, and to keep kids safe, but, as I’m about to show you, all […]
Gerber Gear’s Propel Auto Knife, a Testimony in Customer Service
Gerber Gear’s Propel Auto Knife is another offering of field-proven performance that allows for one-handed blade deployment with a quality, durable, thin design that is comfortable in the hand and in the pocket. When I set out to do my review of this knife, it didn’t start out so great. The knife didn’t consistently open […]
Recoil Management For Fast Double Taps: Shoot Faster with Better Shot Placement
One of the goals that many shooters aspire to is being able to put fast, accurate double-taps on target. Definitions vary, but for most people, that’s getting one sight picture and putting 2 rounds on or incredibly near your point of aim in rapid succession (.1-.2 seconds between shots) without getting a second clear, crisp […]
