I had a student write in today asking about what to do since his pinkie finger hangs off of the bottom of the grip of his pistol. This is a very common issue…either for people shooting small pistols or shooters with big hands. Here’s an example…this is what my grip looks like with a standard […]
With over one million Bersa handguns sold in the United States we decided it was time to take a look at their classic, the Thunder 380. Bersa: Over One Million Strong. Weighing-in at just 20oz and with styling similar to James Bond’s iconic Walther, it’s easy to see why the Thunder 380 is a popular […]
It is critical that we understand our body’s reactions to an attack. There are many mental and physical functions which occur at the subconscious level. While our bodies will respond in ways that we may not be able to control initially, with training we can anticipate and mitigate unhelpful responses and successfully respond to a […]
I was disheartened to read that Daniel Defense, a titan of the firearms industry, lead by an honorable and ardent supporter of the second Amendment, dedicated to creating a high quality line of products has suffering from up to 100 layoffs of full time positions. This is unfortunate. My condolences go to each hard working, […]
The .458 SOCOM round has been around for a while but never really gained much popularity. This is largely in part to it’s reputation for breaking guns. Like the 10mm in it’s early days modified existing platforms couldn’t take the punishment. The .458 SOCOM hasn’t been tamed, but CMMG has built a rifle that runs […]
Blue Force Gear has got a pretty good thing going. They don’t create a ton of different gear, but what they do create often sets the industry standard.

It can provide a stable shooting platform and help you confirm to low cover. Learn it, love it. You can find their class schedule at www.monarchdefense.org You can […]

Starting delivery in 2018, the contract provides for up to 180 million rounds of .40 caliber Tactical HST duty ammunition to multiple Department of Homeland Security law enforcement components and other federal agencies for up to five (5) years. This contract will […]
When the Remington R51 was re-released I was excited. An American company producing a pistol with a different action than the standard browning locking action. Call me a gun nerd, but that sort of stuff excites me. The gun magazines all had rave reviews until it was made public that either money had changed hands […]
This amazing response to an armed robbery was caught on camera. Funny and educational, it teaches us about criminal over confidence with a handgun and the line between self-defense and aggression. If you liked this video, consider becoming an ASP Patron Member to support the work it takes to make the narrated videos like […]
