In my old kickboxing and boxing days we always had a pair Boxing gloves for anybody who walked in the karate school or boxing gym who thought they were a bad ***. We also had "release forms" because some people will sue you even if they tried to hurt you and you just hit them as hard as they...

I worked as a tech guy for Perot Systems(Plano, Texas) when Ross Perot Sr. owned the company for a couple of years. I spoke with Mr. Perot briefly a couple of times in the cafeteria. It was a great place to work if you were a veteran like myself. Lots of tech guys didn't want to work there...

I won't buy an electric car, but I think electric bicycles/tricycles are great. I bought a small electric bicycle 6 months ago that works in 3 modes (electric only, pedal assist, no power pedal like a regular bicycle). It's nice to be able to ride an electric bicycle for 15 to 25 miles with...

I totally agree. Before my neck surgery(2015) I carried a 1911 and had done so since the late 1970's. I never had a problem disengaging the safety under stress. Nowadays I don't carry 1911s and have moved on to Glocks and other similar type handguns. I train more now than I used to because I...

I totally agree. I was blessed to have been trained by a few Vietnam Vets when I joined the Marine Corps in 1976 after Vietnam. And the stories they shared about dealing with some of the stuff they did in Vietnam are not for the faint of heart. Their experiences helped me and my fellow young...

I think Kahr's are good firearms. I had an MK40 that I carried for several years. It was well made and I liked the smooth trigger. It was heavy and took patience to take apart but the engineering in it was impressive. It wasn't an easy firearm to rack the slide on, but back then my hand...

I think this revolver is nice looking and I bet it shoots nice. I have a New Model Vaquero in 45 Colt with a 7.5 inch barrel that totally scratches my "single action only revolver" handgun itch...:) If I didn't have the Vaquero I think a Single Action only revolver in 9 mm would be nice...

As tough as that video for some people to watch, it's the reality some people face almost daily. Even sometimes when you avoid eye contact and mind your own business the attacker decides it's your time that day. And if you're not prepared, you sometimes die or are disabled the rest of your...

I always carry a spare magazine for my semi-autos and a speed strip if I'm carrying a revolver. Yesterday I ordered a CYA Supply inside the pants kydex holster AND magazine pouch for my Walther PPS M2...:)

Glad you're ok. I spent 3 weeks in a hospital back in 2015 (motorcycle accident). I couldn't wait to get out of the hospital and back to the house. I'm lucky I had my S&W 638 snub nosed revolver because I was too weak to rack the slide of a semi-auto. But I worked at getting better each day...

Lots of good information. Going to a store that has an indoor range and rents firearms is a good first step. It's better to spend money on a good one you like and can shoot accurately than going through a few that feel good in the hand but are not comfortable to shoot. I've instructed female...

I have used every piece of equipment in that picture. I went thru it thoroughly to make sure...:) I still have an old M16 mag pouch that I sometimes use to carry a S&W 638 revolver in. I have an LBE(Load Bearing Equipment) which are military suspenders with a cartridge belt, that I sometimes...

Yes sir, I understand...:) I have a pair of "Ironwood" Escrima sticks from the Philippines and they are very heavy compared to the Escrima sticks made out of Rattan. I use the Ironwood sticks for stretching more than striking training. Sometimes I train Heaven 6 with them but not for long. I...

I train in FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) and I used a Bolo when I was in the Philippines. They are handy tools. I grew up in South Texas and was taught how to use a machete when I was young by a landscaper who was born in Mexico and moved to the US as a young adult. I have a couple of machetes...

Great article, thanks for posting. I've had the privilege of talking to a few World War II veterans over the years. I'm a former Marine('76-'79) who lives about 1/2 hour drive from the Iwo Jima memorial next the the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Texas. I have worked as a volunteer at...

I totally agree...:) A 3 inch barrel maybe...:) I don't have any 357 magnum revolvers any more but I enjoyed shooting them. I owned a S&W 686 with a 4 inch barrel that was one of the most accurate handguns I ever owned. A bonus of 357 magnum revolvers is all the different kinds of ammo you can...

No thanks. I have a "Hillary hole" on my S&W 638 Bodyguard and that's never been used. (I'm in a rowdy mood today, the idea of Hillary's hole makes me want to hurl...:)) As it's been said many times before, "The best gun safety you own is between your ears."...:)

Thanks for posting that sir. Lots of great comments...:) I had a Sig P320 Compact. It felt ok, had a nice trigger, and was accurate. I went back and forth on whether to keep it. I verified from Sig that my P320 had been upgraded. I got offered a trade of a Glock 19 Gen 5 with night sites...

Beretta 92, 96's are great firearms but I've never been able to bond with them. I can shoot them accurately. One of my cousins has a Beretta 84 (380) that I like a lot. Not enough to spend money for a used one or a clone but 84's fit my hand better than 92's or 96's. I have a Beretta APX...

I turned my cable box after the last Super Bowl and am good with it. America by nature is already inclusive. When a race, culture, political party, sports team, etc. demands more attention I prefer to not waste any time or money on them. I live near the border of Mexico and the celebrations of...
