Firearms Instructor Profile: Interview with Brannon LeBouef

As I consider the short series that I begin today for you, the best readership on the gun-oriented internet, the Latin phrase tabula rasa comes to mind. I recently had the pleasure of talking firearms instruction with Brannon Lebouef of NOLATAC Firearms Training, and our discussion will be the first in a series of articles highlighting […]

Problems with Shooting? Use Technology to Train Yourself with MantisX

MantisX uses gyroscope motion detectors, computer software, and apps to provide you with expert coaching. Through the magic of technology, that I have no way of explaining on my own, the device records and analyzes every shot you make on your firearm.

Carry Methods: Open Carry - TheArmsGuide.com

Open Carry: Self Defense Option or Public Nuance?

There are many ways in which someone may carry a firearm, but, arguably, the first decision that must be made is whether to carry open or concealed. For some, there isn’t an option. In Texas, for example, it is illegal to open carry, regardless of whether or not one possesses a permit to legally concealed […]

How Guns Work: Short Recoil Operation - TheArmsGuide.com

How Guns Work: Short Recoil Operation

Short recoil operation, especially the design fathered by firearms genius John Moses Browning, is a widely used method of firearms operation. It’s used with virtually all pistol calibers, including my favorite, .45 ACP. As with most firearm operation methods, there are variants to the short recoil design. The one covered in greatest detail in this […]

What To Buy: Striker Fired vs Hammer Fired Pistols

A lot of people debate the advantages and disadvantages of the striker and hammer fired pistols. There are definite pros and cons to both systems, but people tend to try to label one or the other as a winner over the other. I find it more helpful to merely evaluate ad judge the systems for […]

Steyr AUG

The Steyr AUG – First Look and a little History

The Steyr AUG is a legendary weapon, or at least it is to me. Growing up in a house that loved action films the movie Die Hard has been a Christmas tradition for a long time. That’s where I first saw what I assumed was a space gun, the Steyr AUG. Wielded by the European terrorist, Karl, to the disdain of great American hero John McClane. The Steyr AUG has had an illustrious movie career due to its eye catching and futuristic appearance. Outside of movies its a favorite in video games, and even the greatest mistake known to man, anime. Outside of being a pop culture icon, the Steyr AUG has a long career of service with military and police forces around the world.

Muzzle Awareness: Hit the Right Target Fast

In police academies and basic training courses around the world, cops and soldiers learn to “cover” people by pointing their muzzles at them, center mass. Whether this is directly taught or is an uncorrected natural tendency makes little difference. Almost every story you have ever heard about a bad shooting has its genesis in this […]

Self Defense & Martial Arts

How would you defend yourself if you couldn’t use a gun? Martial arts may not serve as effectively as a force multiplier as a self defense firearm, but there are occasions when using a gun isn’t feasible, or appropriate. First, I must give a disclaimer. Getting into a fist fight, or any other kind of struggle […]
