Eric Dean of the American Institute of Marksmanship, and Colleene Barnett of Keeping the Piece were kind enough to sponsor me so that I could attend their (DH3) Ladies’ Defensive Handgun training. Colleene, aided by Eric, taught the class was taught over two days and included both classroom and live fire components. The classroom portion began […]
We’ve discussed a few alternative self defense tools before, but here’s a particularly interesting option: the Yellow Jacket iPhone case. Disclaimer: The Arms Guide is not a source of legal counsel. If you have questions about the laws regarding electroshock self defense tools in your state (or county), contact a legal professional. Baton Rouge-based Yellow […]
Remember the 3D printed lower Defense Distributed produced? Meet the Liberator. Cody Wilson (founder of Defense Distributor) topped the accomplishment of printing a functioning rifle lower by using the same means to produce a functional handgun. As the components of this modern technological marvel are almost entirely plastic (it uses a metal nail as a firing […]
I recently spent a weekend shooting sporting clays with this gem: the Browning BPS shotgun, which is currently sporting a Redring optic. This one is certainly one of my favorite firearms. The Browning BPS is one of my “prettier” guns as well. And the action? Smooth as silk. What’s not to love?
Here at The Arms Guide, we’re a big proponent of firearms training. But how do you go about getting that training to become more proficient with handling your guns? There are several ways to go about it, but the training means that I want to discuss in specific has to do with supplementing your live fire […]
Guns can save lives. A Milwaukee janitor survived an attack by three violent youths earlier this month, with the aid of a concealed carry firearm. Two teenagers, a 17-year-old female and a 19-year-old male, and a 20-year old male, attacked the janitor of an apartment complex janitor while he was on the job. Allegedly, the […]
The technology of today is incredible. A 3D printed lower, manufactured and tested by Defense Distributed has successfully survived a +600 round firing test. Essentially, the guys over at Defense Distributed fired the lower (called the AR lower v5) until they depleted their stock of testing ammunition. The 3D printed lower does not constitute a complete […]
One of my favorite pistols is the M57 – namely because the 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridge is so much fun to shoot! Just look at that muzzle flash. Have you tried one?
Unlike Lara Croft, I wasn’t a born marksman (or markswoman, if you like). After 100s of YouTube videos, a few training classes, and several thousand rounds downrange, I’ve made great progress with my pistol shooting. And, although I’m still making improvements on that front, where I’m completely behind is in my long range skill. To […]
Remember all of the hullabaloo when the first 3D printed firearm lower was produced? And then the first full 3D printed gun? 3D printed firearms have taken their next step. Solid Concepts, Inc. has produced the first fully functional metal 3D printed gun. https://youtu.be/R2L3QP5qVgo The video featured above shows part of the  test firing for […]
