I was at the range today with my missus, the recipient of a new Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro, a compact 9mm fitted with a Holoson RDS. It fit her hand well, she loved the 15 round capacity and it should be noted that we spent lots of time with her trying other pistols out before …

I can remember back in the late 90’s going to the rifle range as a young Soldier, if I recall it was twice a year. We would get 18 rounds to zero our rifles and then 40 rounds to qualify on the range. Outside of any other live fire training (not likely) that amounted to …

Allow me to paraphrase a few choice things I’ve heard over the years from folks with respect to handgun usage / training / personal defense. I’ve been around guns my whole life I’ll take a CCW course, I wouldn’t need to shoot though I carry a gun but keep it locked in my glove box …

Sometimes it’s fun to get out to the range and shoot up multiple targets with different weapons, various distances, all sorts of drills. After all if you are spending the time and your own money to get out and train some element of it should be entertaining. Yet there are points in time when it’s …

I’ve been sans pistola for the last week, much to my own chagrin but hey I only have myself to blame. For some reason I thought that my CCW license renewal coincided with my birthday this year but then last week I happened to pull it out: it expired in the last week of July! …

Over a year ago I tossed some tasty modifications on my home defense shotgun, which started out as a standard Mossberg 500 persuader (with the “hog leg”). Granted if this is all you have near the bed at night and it’s loaded with 00 Buck or slugs you are definitely sitting pretty, can’t argue with …

I don’t know about you but I like to be comfortable. When it’s cold I put on clothes to stay warm and when it’s hot I wear less clothes to stay cool. I try not to let my decision to carry a gun dictate what I wear, no ridiculous photog vests or unnecessary outer garments …

Full Disclosure, I’m typing this out while Journey is playing in the background: Don’t Stop Believing. Had to get that out of the way for the old heads in the room but it’s all good. “Strangers….waiting…” So tonight I had the joy of cleaning all of the guns I shot this past weekend, I emphasize …

Mossberg pump, Taurus Judge or S&W .357. Good options for home defense in most cases, but not if you are this guy… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYFXlqrj3oI Neighbors who live in the Lakewood Grove subdivision in Tomball are on edge after a violent home invasion in the community overnight on Monday. The homeowner and suspects fired back and forth …

Everyone should be aware of the 4 rules of gun safety, of which I’ll paraphrase here: 1- Treat every weapon as if it were loaded 2- Never point a weapon at something you do not intend to destroy 3- Never place your finger on the trigger until you are ready to engage 4- Know your …

There is great satisfaction to be had when pulling the trigger and sending forth a projectile from the barrel of a gun, especially when one goes through the trouble to produce that cartridge. Assembling the projectile, casing, powder and primer…not to mention all of the prep and research involved before ever stepping foot on the …

I’m assuming that by now you have seen the headline: Woman beheaded at Oklahoma Workplace. OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A man fired from an Oklahoma food processing plant beheaded a woman with a knife and was attacking another worker when he was shot and wounded by a company official, police said Friday. Moore Police Sgt. …

I remember being stationed in Germany, a wide eyed 19 year old who lived in a new country with endless possibilities. Coming out of high school I was never much of a “party animal” and had mainly stuck to sports, JROTC and work. Yet there I was in a land where 18 year olds could …

Over the last few years I’ve run into guys who advocate muscle memory shooting (or point shooting), and as soon as they do I try to keep from rolling my eyes. What they claim to be able to do is draw and fire their pistol accurately without using the sights. Some have told me they …

Allow me to provide some background before getting into the meat of this post. I don’t go to the movies that often because I generally despise large crowds and paying ridiculous amounts of money for butter laden popcorn (although it is delicious). I do make an effort to go when a decent movie comes out, …
