I like shotguns…like a lot. You may have noticed I also have an affinity for the so-called “Not a shotgun” firearms. These “Not a Shotguns” are guns like the Remington Tac 14 and Mossberg Shockwave. Gabe Suarez of Suarez International has been a big fan of these “Not a Shotgun” NFA free short barreled guns. He […]

Improve Your Shooting: Sight Picture Theory
Managing sight picture is one firearms fundamental that contributes to shooting accurately. Grip, stance, trigger pull, and even the way you breathe all play important parts in repeatable, accurate shooting. However, the point of this post is to focus on sight picture and a few of the prevailing theories on how to use it effectively to […]
Improve Your Shooting: Mastery Through Adaptability
It seems that people don’t understand that the only thing they need for complete adaptability to any platform is a steady trigger pull without disturbing their sight picture. Now this isn’t including the fact that you will have a different manual of arms requirement to run certain platforms. This will require some retraining in order to […]
Is the Glock an outdated pistol?
In my humble opinion, no firearm is truly “outdated” if it still goes bang and will allow the shooter to hit what they’re aiming at. The gun is just a tool and you are the weapon — that’s my philosophy about it anyway. If you shoot a particular model of pistol exclusively and do it […]
Maximize Your Range Time: Firearms Training and Fun
With the recent ammo shortage, finding a way to reconcile firearm training with fun shooting can be a challenge in and of itself. As a concealed carry permit holder, and one who regularly carries, I have a responsibility to maintain proficiency with my carry piece(s). However, my passion for the shooting sports originally sprung from […]
How to Buy A Used Gun: Finding Hidden Value
Value is the main subject I want to address today for those looking to buy a gun, but aren’t aware that a good deal already exists. On the used market, you can find good pistols that have seen little to no use by their previous owners. Some of these guns such as HK, SIG, and […]
Concealed Carry – Female Perspective
Every individual must determine for themselves what best suits their concealed carry needs. But, women, in particular, have unique demands on their concealed carry gear that men do not due to the shape of the female figure as well as the impractical trends of ladies’ fashions. Often, one of the options that comes to mind […]
CZ 82: A Pistol 007 Would Love
James Bond would like the CZ 82. Okay, so Bond’s signature firearm was a Walther PPK, and not the CZ, but at my first sight of the Czech military pistol, I couldn’t help but to recall the hero’s famous blued compact. The Walther’s design predates the 82, and its Russian predecessor, the Makarov, by many […]
Blue Steel: A “Good” Rust?
One of the main ideas behind putting a finish on firearm steel is to protect it from corrosion, right? Ironically enough, one of the most common firearms finishes, bluing, results from a specific form of steel oxidation – that is, rust. Instead of the red-brown color associated with rust (Fe2O3), bluing forms the blue/black oxide […]
Sig Sauer P365 vs. Glock 43 | Size matters
Ever since the announcement of Sig’s new P365 micro compact pistol, I’ve eagerly anticipated its arrival. At SHOT Show, I had the pleasure of handling the pistol at the Sig Sauer booth but missed the opportunity to shoot it on Range Day. Apparently, Sig Sauer has their own range day and doesn’t participate in the […]
