    Gun Games are not STREET training

    On race guns while there is night and day difference on running a cyclic USPSA stage where defensive use you won’t (or shouldn’t) go quite that fast (why mag capacity and high bore axis are over stated) A lot of “race gun” stuff is being pushed as necessities for defensive use. folks can...

    Gun Games are not STREET training

    They still train with a variety of shokters to include Ben Stoegers. They also invite in several UFC fighters as they do race car drivers. A gunfight is a competitive event with much higher stakes! I get the comped out raceguns and such but there is nothing wrong with wringing out your gear...

    Gun Games are not STREET training

    This argument has been around for a quite a while. Most of us quit buying into it.Most people need to work on their shootjng skills before worrying about a gunfight. The benefit of say USPSA is you learn to run your gun and gear at different angles approaches etc It is beneficial however...

    Shooting Insurance

    Do your research. Not all are the same, in fact one well known self defense insurance came into an NRA class that was required for a state CCW class and did their spiel. My issue was it was nothing but fear mongering and basically the lugnut took a gun to someone else’s civil issue (a repo)...

    Handgun Recoil 101: How much recoil do handgun calibers produce?

    Yawn!!!! People worry to much about crunching numbers. 1 A 45 acp is more than a 9mm. 2 Magnum pistol rounds are more than 45 acp 3 split times are a competitive thing , .50 or so you will be just fine (ask LAPD and LAPD SWAT 4 if your gun comes with a 15 round mag instead of a 17 round...

    Do You Have the Right Flashlight Skills?

    While everyone can do whatever, the perception that one as a private citizen operates in complete and totally darkness to utilize a WML as someone performing Military or LE duties would is way way over emphasized. While my privious answer was half sarcastic Hal’s serious I am old enough to...

    Thoughts on 300 Black Out?

    It never awed me. I get the craze over Suppressors sells it and if that’s your thing it’s a good option for folks. Like having and carrying a revolver if you like it use it, if not there are other options!

    Bryan wouldn’t have announced it if it was not fact checked. Bryan is one of the guys behind the S&W/Lipseys UC J frame as well as the new 3” Night Guard wheelguns. He has his finger on the pulse of the industry since he is part of it.

    1970s VS 2026 thinking

    The problem with the old 3-3-3 is there is no trustworthy data. And it tends to get skewed by LE incidents where they mag dump. In reality while a robber has to generally be in arms reach with movement after the dance starts it can be at 5-7 or 10 yards by the end. While capacity seems...

    Truck Guns

    The point is don’t hold anyone’s rifle. And running around with your own especially when the Calvary comes rushing in. it really doesn’t matter as it’s the same objective reasonableness for responders to send rounds your way!

Reality vary rare and running around with a rifle while 911 calls are coming in about a guy with a rife bad idea, And if you’re driving and somehow...
