    Another trip to the range with the HellCat Pro

    My only hesitation with modifications on a carry pistol trigger are safety related. I don't want to defeat the safety systems or make the trigger too light that it somehow goes bang unintentionally. I know most kits don't do that but it's definitely the reason I have not touched my carry...

    Another trip to the range with the HellCat Pro

    Hogues are a pain in the *** to install but absolutely worth the trouble. I've got one on my Shield X and it went from 9/10 to 10/10 grip. It's also more comfortable to carry with the Hogue. Less irritating than textured plastic. I've got one on order for my BG2.0 as well.

    Discussion: First Look: Echelon Alpha 4.0C

    I will say those echelons are handsome pistols. Honestly maybe the best looking striker fired handgun in my completely subjective opinion.

    Kuna Competition? Meet the Taurus RPC 9mm PDW

    Those were definitely a different breed and a different mindset when being made. I'd absolutely carry one of them as well but A. I don't have anything that expensive currently lol and B. The price bracket they compete in is much more saturated now. I'd have a hard time choosing between say...

    Kuna Competition? Meet the Taurus RPC 9mm PDW

    Now that reviews are trickling out, I think it would be hard to choose an RPC over a Kuna, Stribog or even a nice ARP like the victor. I've had zero issues with my Kuna and it's become one of my most carried firearms. Vehicle gun, bag gun and even concealed. Such a shame for Taurus to miss...

    What’s In Your Pocket? Keep Your EDC Realistic

    I like having multiple guns with the same or similar manual of arms and layout for muscle memory but this is something else hahaha

    What’s In Your Pocket? Keep Your EDC Realistic

    I love how leather wears in and develops a nice patina as it ages. It seems so personal. I want an enigma with a leather holster component so bad.

    What’s In Your Pocket? Keep Your EDC Realistic

    I honestly think holster choice is more important than gun choice when considering concealed carry. Or at least more weight should be put into the holster versus the gun.

    Show off your Every Day Carry!

    I keep looking at a new S&W revolver for a pocket carry. I want something that will reliably function inside the pocket of a coat for those long winters we have. There is something comforting about being able to grab your pistol and have it at the ready without making everyone around you aware...

    What’s In Your Pocket? Keep Your EDC Realistic

    Big 1791 fan myself. I carried their fair chase holster for a few years and would consider 1791 near the peak of leather craftsmanship. Leather is just comfortable and classic for a reason. Leather against the skin all day no problem. Kydex against the skin, problems galore.

    What’s In Your Pocket? Keep Your EDC Realistic

    Adding a small fanny pack to my EDC was a game changer. I keep my wallet, medicine, flashlight, pepper spray, dog stuff and other baubles in there but it also has 4 spare mags lining one pocket and they're all properly indexed and strapped in. I strap my enigma on with my Shield X and then...

    Discussion: Springfield Hellcat Pro BB Gun Review — Red Dot Ready Air Pistol

    BB guns are fun to shoot. As a kid we setup an indoor gallery in our basement with a big cardboard BB trap and shot for hours and hours. We had shelves with sloping cardboard beneath them so the BBs could penetrate the cardboard but couldn't bounce back and would funnel themselves all down to...

    Would you carry an Old (design) Gun?

    Bullets don't change effectiveness based on the age of the gun. I think the # of 1911s, SA-35s etc still running around in people's holsters todays can speak to that. There are definitely guns I wouldn't carry from any age but stuff made from the 1900's and up is still relatively modern. I...

    The SIG P365 Family: Still the Benchmark for Everyday Carry

    My only obvious complaint is the P365 has a pretty large height over bore compared to some of it's competition but it was definitely one of the first. And that's an admittedly minor complaint. When I was researching my last micro compact purchase I was pretty much decided on a P365 while I was...

    Discussion: First Look: Echelon Alpha 4.0C

    I always kinda liked the cocking tabs or whatever you call them on the side of the echelon slide. That alone pushes me away from the alpha. And the more I think about the COA, I think I'd just prefer a Holosun EPS gold dot instead.

    Smaller Guns for Defense?

    .22lr wouldn't be my choice for defense but the "Fudge I've been shot" factor might be one of the biggest unknowns in the world. People don't tend to take kindly to being shot and many times that alone is enough to break contact and get away.

    Smaller Guns for Defense?

    .22lr was used to kill like ~8 people in Pikes County Ohio. Two brothers murdered the whole family of one of their ex-wives in a custody dispute all assassination style in the night. Gruesome ****. .22lr will definitely kill with a headshot.

    Macular Degeneration - what to do about shooting?

    This one is better but still isn't quite capturing how bright it appears to the naked eye.

    Macular Degeneration - what to do about shooting?

    So I popped it off my gun and tried taking some pics out the window using my cellphone and I honestly don't think the camera does it justice. It appears much brighter IRL than the camera makes it out to be. IRL it's super easy to see even in the bright daylight looking at green trees. I think...

    Macular Degeneration - what to do about shooting?

    I know it seems a little counter intuitive that a yellow reticle would be easier to see, especially in daylight but I think the magic is in the lens coating. It hits that perfect intersection of being highly visible, crisp and also not blending into the background OR being overwhelmed by it...
