The ShapeShift Driver Defense

The ShapeShift Driver Defense: Defensive Driving

When AlienGear Released the Shapeshift core system I was impressed, four holsters in one was a cool idea. Then they promised expansions and delivered, and keep delivering. From MOLLE Mounts to shoulder rigs the ShapeShift system is continually growing. One of the newest developments is the ShapeShift Driver Defense system. Alien gear sent me, and […]

Body Armor and Head Shots

Body Armor and Head Shots

Unfortunately, we’ve seen more loss of life due to mass attacks and school shootings than we care to talk about. The details are often blurry, but from what I’ve read and sifted through it appears that several of the shooters were wearing body armor of some type. When a bad guy starts shooting and they […]

Yankee Hill Machine Backup Iron Sights

Yankee Hill Machine Backup Iron Sights

With the quality of primary optics being at an all time high, I’ve noticed a trend of many shooters skipping back-up iron sights (BUIS) on their primary fighting rifle.  I feel that if a gun is to be used for more than competition or as a range toy, BUIS are still a critical component to have.  I was […]

New to Pistol Optics? The SIRT Pistol Optical Trainer Builds Repetitions

New to Pistol Optics? The SIRT Pistol Optical Trainer Builds Repetitions

The SIRT Pistol Optical Trainer (SPOT) is a very simple and cost-effective way to train for the reflexive optic you may have on your live fire pistol. The SPOT fits on your SIRT slide (110 glockish models) and uses the red trigger take up laser to mimic the dot in a pistol mounted red dot […]

Firearms Safety: Follow the Rules and Save Lives

Firearms Safety: Follow the Rules and Save Lives

Gun safety is not a device, it is a behavior. In-spite of 1,000 years of human experience with gun powder and related devices, it is still dangerous stuff. We can mitigate the risks, but no matter what kind of technological developments we have applied, guns remain dangerous. How dangerous? That depends on the shooter and […]

How Guns Work: Striker Fired Pistols

How Guns Work: Striker Fired Pistols

Due to their lack of protruding hammer, many striker fired pistol designs have flooded the concealed carry market. Manufacturers such as Glock, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory all have popular models of striker fired pistols. But, how does striker fire actually work? To propel a bullet from its cartridge, the gun powder within the casing […]

Liberty Civil Defense 9mm| Further Review

Liberty Civil Defense 9mm | Further Review

Recently I started a two-part review of Liberty ammunition’s Civil Defense round.  Part 1 can be read here.  A +P defensive load zipping out around 2150 FPS, this diminutive 50gr bullet looks impressive.   I had some doubts during my first range day as my chronograph was recording high variability in the velocity.  This manifested […]

How do you pick a carry gun?

Selecting a Handgun for Everyday: Double Action?

How do you pick a carry gun?  A double action model is the choice of many CCW shooters.  Former Marine infantryman, Don Adams, has some informed opinions about selecting carry guns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3gdi6RomII See more of Don Adams’ videos here on the  Do it rite channel

Smith and Wesson Governor: Range Review

Smith and Wesson Governor: Range Review

Recently, I had the pleasure of taking the Smith and Wesson Governor to the range. My first impression of this big S&W wheelgun is that it is a ton of fun. The  Governor is a multiple caliber handgun. It fires .45 ACP (with moon clips), .45 Colt, and .410 gauge shot shells, so I tried out […]

Environmentally Friendly Ammo | The Green Bullet?

I guess all of the depleted uranium and lead we’ve been firing overseas in recent conflicts has got our government concerned.  According to Washington, the The Army is switching from lead bullets in many small-caliber arms to “environmentally friendly” rounds.  The new green bullets will slowly start to replace the M855 (5.56 mm) and the 7.62 […]
