It will be an enormous legal issue should you need to use your pistol in self defense shortly after lunch. This is why I only drink alcohol when I'm at home for the night and I'm not going anywhere that evening. Besides the price they charge for an ounce and a half or so of good single malt...

I always carry three flashlights, a SureFire G2Z MaxVision Combat Light and a SureFire E2T-MV Tactician. The Tactician is my daily use for anything light, set to low or high as appropriate. I have the lanyard set up so I can wrap it around my hand in a way that allows me to use both hands...

That's one jam they never teach you how to clear in any firearms class.

This to me was the greatest failing of the 1986 Miami shootout. The FBI agents at the time simply did not train for an actual gun fight. They were not prepared for the encounter with Platt & Matix. Two agents lost their primary sidearms before the gunfight even started. Leaving one with a...

Loks nice. Just don't drop it during fall out in the woods.

I'd have two sidearms, one for small game, a Ruger MkIII 22/45 with a red dot. I'd also have my EDC pistol a 1911A1 in .45 ACP.

I agree and I think many folks do nottake "Bug out"scenarios this seriously. .308 is still the most common cartridge sold in the US today. The cartridge is also much more effective than the 5.56. You need three 5.56 rounds when one .308 will do the job. As evidenced in several AARs from the...

Practice practice practice, like anything until it becomes second nature.

For smaller game I would use my Ruger MkIII with a red dot. It's small enough to stow in a pack with little bulk or to carry in a chest holster. So I still don't see a need for a second rifle caliber.

Another note on bug out guns, as it applies to taking folks with you. If your bug out plan includes more than just you, those accompanying you need to also be armed and they need to be armed with a weapon firing the same cartridge as yours. Preferably the same exact rifle. Why would you...

I always find the topic of "Bug Out Guns" amusing to consider. The idea that the choice is between the M1A or the AR-15 is, to me, bizarre. Neither would be going with me. I'll be taking a bolt gun or lever gun. Bugging out is an absolute worst case scenario. I find most people planning to...

It doesn't have jurisdiction over any of what is mentioned in the article that it's been doing. It's like the IRS handing out traffic citations.

I have carried my Springfield Mil-Spec as my EDC for a few years now. I put on average 100 rounds through it every week, plus running classes and taking classes with it which can end up being several hundred or a thousand rounds during the class. I carry Chip McCormick magazines exclusively so...

Same here. It's adding a number of things to go wrong that can result in you losing your gun.

It's super simple. A trigger is  not a safety.

Why? Because he wrote the article that Springfield paid him to write?

Why? What kind of 1911 do you have? That a 1911 needs to be "tuned" to be a carry gun is a myth. I have a Springfield Armory Mil-Spec that has been my daily carry gun since 2020. I fire between 50-100 rounds through it weekly and I've used it in several classes. During one of those classes...

I started shooting a 1911 when I was maybe 14 or so. It was a Singer M1911A1 at the local National Guard unit. They let me shoot it because no one wanted to be issued a "sewing machine". I shot it once or twice a week for 3 or four years. When I turned 21 the first gun I bought was a used...

The Black Talon story is a lesson in bad marketing. They gave the round a stupid name and it got a lot of negative press. Now it's the Ranger T-series, using the exact same bullet minus the name and the black coating, which was pointless. No issues.

Teflon coated "cop killer" bullets were the major plot point in Lethal Weapon 3. I remember laughing in the theater when Mel Gibson shoots through the steel bucket of a front end loader with them.
