Concealed carry fuels the first and competition fuels the second. Competition shooting be it USPA, 3 Gun, or IPSC, etc often features shooters with larger than […]
It’s tough being the little guy on the block, especially when the guy picking on you looks like Drago from Rocky IV.

Where you’ve seen it: I […]

When people talk about their 1911’s, it is normal to hear people say things like “the tolerances on my pistol are incredibly tight. It doesn’t make any noise when you shake it.” This is a description about the fitting of the pistol. The tolerances of the pistol was never actually described in that sentence. If […]
