When you hear the term self-defense, it’s natural to think that only men should need to worry about how they defend themselves. However, women are also susceptible to violence and other threats. Statistics show that one in three women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime and one out of every six women has been […]
Who doesn’t love a good debate? The firearms community is full of them. Like the Glock 19 versus the Sig P320, for example. Both of those guns are chambered for 9mm, so it’s an orange-to-orange comparison. Even more to the point today, 9mm has become more or less the default caliber for most handguns and […]
In the world of military firearms, handguns are sidearms. They are the weapons soldiers turn to in special conditions and rarely issued. Sidearms are not necessarily defensive weapons, but they are certainly not primary weapons. You won’t lead a charge with a handgun or lay down suppressive fire with a sidearm; that’s not traditionally how […]
The Colt Python is an absolute legend. It’s been called the finest revolver ever created by firearm experts like Ian Hogg and Jeff Cooper. When you see a Python, you know it: its distinctive profile and name make a splash. While other companies used forgettable names for their revolvers, Colt began naming their wheel guns […]
The granddaddy of all Glocks, the Glock 17 is still one of the most popular Glock models. Hitting the market in 2017, the Glock 17 gen 5 followed the traditions of the original from 35 years prior. Yet, there are more than a few changes and improvements that were added with the fifth generation Glocks. The changes […]
The Modular Handgun System (MHS) competition began way back in 2015, but it feels like it was last week. The Beretta M9 served for over 30 years as America’s sidearm, but many of the guns were ending their service life. As such, the military could order more M9s, or it could begin looking at a […]
There isn’t much true innovation in the gun world. This isn’t the fault of gun makers; it’s just due to a slight stall in technology. Ultimately, until we discover something crazy, like caseless ammo, laser beams, or something similar, the tech will largely remain the same. Every so often, however, something finds a way to […]
A long time ago I purchased my first Stealth Operator holster. It was a kydex holster that could accommodate over 150 different holsters securely. I was curious, and I consider most universal holsters to be absolute garbage. However, the holster was quite affordable. This was 4 years ago and to this day that same Phalanx […]
Incorporating technology into training can be an invaluable means to increase your overall proficiency. Modern Warrior has a new target known as the T2 Command Target. We previously reviewed the T1 target from Modern Warrior and their introduction of the T2 is another step forward. The T2 Command Target combines both the efficiency of a […]
I have a real affinity for shoulder holsters, and I don’t know where it comes from. I like to say its from living in Florida and being a Miami Vice fan. However, being in Florida doesn’t give me a lot of opportunities to wear a shoulder rig, and good shoulder rigs are expensive. Is the […]
