Miyamoto Musashi authored ‘The Book of Five Rings‘, which rumor has it that it’s recommended reading for DEVGRU operators. Reading the book about DEVGRU operator Adam Brown (Fearless), he mentions having to read The Book of Five Rings. If you haven’t read it, I recommend it. Miyamoto Musashi has some great wisdom that’s applicable to the modern […]
While there are many products offering “fixes” for common problems on the market in this- the platinum age of Modern Sporting Rifles- many times a do-it-yourself approach is preferred.

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 […]
The market for the discrete carry of firearms is only growing. At one point the industry took a sharp right turn at a sign reading smaller is better. I think this is due to the advent of pistol braces. Pistol braces have made unwieldy and often front heavy guns like the pistol variants of the […]

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 […]
Having just returned from my first Triggrcon, I thought I’d share a few notes and products from the event. For those who don’t know, Triggrcon is a firearms industry convention started by John Hwang (Rainier Arms owner) that is hosted annually in the Pacific Northwest.
