Firearms Training: Impress Your Friends, Save Your Life
When you think about training to use a firearm to stop a lethal threat, it’s healthy to think of it as serious business…because it is.

Im-Perfection? Glock 19X Mag Compatibility Issues
My local FFL just acquired 4 Glock 19X models and I promptly went down to get some hands on with the MHS Glock. If this gun hadn’t lost the MHS competition I likely wouldn’t be super interested, but I had to see it. It’s an interesting design that’s been getting equal levels of flack and love. First impressions were mixed. The 19X has a slick FDE box, 3 FDE magazines, two outfitted with +2 extensions, and the gun itself looks great.

This is similar to how gasoline burns faster than lighter fluid. Gas burns quickly with a rapid explosion […]
Why the Hearing Protection Act Won’t Pass
As 2017 started and the newly elected President of the United States Donald Trump began to make the public relations rounds to newspapers and television conglomerates one suggested piece of legislation above all others made gun owners smile with sheer joy.

Firearms Fun: Addicting Games for the Range – Dinosaur Hunter
J.K. Rowling’s famous Harry Potter series first hit bookshelves when I was a kid.
