I remember first seeing the Duck featured in a few episodes of Black Sheep Squadron when I was a young teen. I think Pappy and the Black Sheep were using the fuselage storage to smuggle contraband. In another episode they used it to secretly get fuel to their stranded Corsairs!😆

Most days I have a Leatherman Rebar on my belt.

I'll take that since I started with; "It's not sorcery!"😆

🤔Hmmm, good point. I hadn't considered deflection.

It's not sorcery. The bullet's effect on the the bear is based on muzzle energy or kinetic energy and penetration. It's just simple physics and math. Muzzle energy is not only accomplished because of the mass of the bullet. It's a computation of both mass and velocity. The Lehigh bullet is...

I know now they teach Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) to all the troops. My son was airborne infantry. They all had to learn it. Triage is part of that training, as well as Stop the Bleed, Chest Seals, Nasal/Oral airways, etc. It must help save lives by stabilizing traumatic injury before...

It's really an invaluable skill. Technology can fail at the most inopportune times

Haha yeah. I was kind of encouraged to in a colorful one way conversation with Top! I was given the Map Reading and Land Navigation FM and instructed to intimately reacquaint myself with it.

I have a MEDEVAC nightmare from when I was in the Army National Guard. I was a SGT. E-5 in a combat MP Co., leading two gun jeeps (M151A1, 1/4 T) on a patrol across a big open field during an FTX on Ft. Hunter Liggett. The other jeep hit a concealed ditch sending the M60 gunner over the front of...

I live in a alt-reality State🙄

It definitely reeks of desperation!

Thanks Scott! Great article. I'm onboard with everything you said. I invested heavily into the .40 early in my career. I own two in that caliber, a Springfield XD Subcompact and a Glock 23. If I was starting over again today, I'd probably go with the 9mm for off duty carry. The .40 is still...

I think the mistake many of us make is limiting our scope of training. Static shooting can be very enjoyable. But I try to separate recreational shooting from defensive training. As a defensive shooter it's so important to practice dynamic shooting from the holster where possible because that's...

Besides the better grip stippling, the XDs 2.0 already comes with the extended mag floor plate for your pinky. I love that.🙌 No need for the Pearce mag extensions like I used on my XD Subcompact

Anniston, Alabama! That's where I did my Basic Training (Ft. McClellan) in 1980. Clinton closed that base down. It's probably where the CMP armory is located.
