This article is merely illustrative of American government at its finest. What we need is a blue ribbon panel, an investigation , oversight, etc. etc. etc. etc. to come to what conclusion? Lessons learnt? Here we are decades later still relying on these same processes with the same kind of...

This article betrays contemporary gun thinking. People cannot distinguish the basis of accuracy versus the art form of speed. So few people understand accuracy- as though the shooter has no input to how accurate their shot is so they defer to the equipment and hope for the best. This fast...

This article raises a lot of issues beyond the mere question of whether or not to dot your 1911. Personally, I do not see why a new take on vintage technology is a bad thing, but this goes back to the basis of the 1911 platform. The original 1911 had nothing for sights. Today's crop of 1911s...

If you do enough digging around into professed self-defense cases you find certain recurrent trends- the claim of self defense will be decided in a jury trial, so you will face arrest, confinement, bond, etc. whilst lawyers hash it out. Do not expect to simply say it was self-defense and the...

After dabbling in a few online forums one has to conclude the current crop of shooters has scant appreciation for technique and are completely sold on the notion equipment will overcome the limitations of skill/technique. The proliferation of triggers, in particular, and trigger alterations...

Those are questions of jurors which all practitioners of Jurisprudence must try to wrap their heads around- i.e. do not have engineers on your jury, etc. which fall outside the scope of the instrumentality in question or how it was used; but a competent consulting expert certainly gives one an...

With all due respect the article title is paradoxical at best, but I am not in the least bit surprised given the relative knowledge level of the typical EDC/gun buyer of recent times (with all due respect to Mr. Ayoob whose pedigree is self explanatory). These illogical questions are not really...

The core of this article asks if the 10mm enough for backwoods survival, well I would say so. We can beat each other up all day long about the gear specifics- using a World War 2 German Afrika Korps canteen versus a Stanley cup or something more modern but they all hold water. Esbit or...

This article presents us with a series of questions without a single correct answer. Should you have a dot on a carry gun? Sure, why not. Should you have a dot on a carry gun. Not needed.... This article, like most, overlooks the critical question of sight picture, sight alignment, and...
