Had planned on hitting range yesterday, but best laid plans and all that. Dogs woke me up about 0200 to go see what was in backyard (nothing - oldest guy (11) needed bathroom break 😂). Never really got back to sleep and never go to shoot when I feel too worn out/tired. So today was the day...

Finally picked up the EDC X-9 I sent to Wilson Combat back in early September for a tune-up/inspection/cosmetic upgrade. Sent was quoted a 4-6 month turnaround, so a bit less than 8 weeks was a nice surprise! WC actually shipped it back last Thursday, 23 October 2nd day, but that put it...

Made it to the range today with my CZ Shadow 2 Carry. 150 rounds of Winchester NATO 124g FMJ until gone then 70 rounds of Winchester Ranger T 147g JHP. For warm up, did 5 rounds each @ 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 yards, top left, top right, middle, bottom left, bottom right. Next I tried a new...

Made it back to the range to today to send some more 9mm downrange to continue to insure reliability of the SFX9 3.25, especially with self-defense HP loads. Today was 50 rounds of Winchester 124g NATO FMJ, 50 rounds of Winchester 147g Ranger T BHP, and 50 rounds of Freedom Munitions X-Def 135g...

I found this pretty interesting, especially when he points out asking someone to carry a hammer fired gun fully cocked with no safety would not fly with most, but that’s basically what a lot of striker fired guns are - we just can’t see it because it’s all internal. Definitely some food for...

Just saw this in my news feed. I’ll never understand how some people think. Far as I’m concerned, if someone injures an innocent that might have been prevented through proper safety equipment - ESPECIALLY lighting - this Sheriff should be charged for it...

Took my new Wilson Combat SFX9 3.25 w/Trijicon Type 2 Adjustable LED 6.5 MOA RDS on her maiden range voyage this morning. Yesterday I field stripped, wiped off all oil, and lubed well with Shooter Lube. Reassembled and ready to go. Magazines were preloaded over the weekend, so about 72 hours...

So I bought a gun Labor Day weekend (pictured in another post), it shipped from dealer 2nd Day Air (no cost to me) and arrived when it was supposed to at my LGS (Thursday, 4 Sep 25). I also ordered an inexpensive IWB holster from same dealer so I could carry it while I await a quality holster...

So back on August 28th I posted the below thread requesting folks talk me out of spending $$$ on a Staccato. https://www.thearmorylife.com/forum/threads/need-an-intervention-asap.23742/ Everyone did a great job and I really haven’t thought about a Staccato since AND I finally sent in my old...

So I’ve spent the last two weeks visiting https://staccato2011.com/ daily - usually multiple times. The only thing that has prevented me from making another significant donation to the gun industry is that I can’t decide between the CS and the C2. Well, and do I really think a gun, put...

I subscribe to “Veterans on Duty” and receive regular updates on various topics. Today they sent this sobering reminder and I felt inclined to share as I know there are more than a few Veterans here… “We provide you with updates on email about once a week—but in today’s fast moving world...

As I was reviewed my gun logs, I realized I hadn’t shot my .45 caliber SA Emissary 4.25 AOS since last October (2024). Its’ optic still sits on a shelf in my closet as after that last range trips, figured I didn’t need it - and not like I’m daily carrying a 40 oz, before loading, handgun 😂. So...

Saw this over on the USCCA forum and thought I’d borrow and share it. In my (much) younger days I can honestly say I’ve done this more than once. My first standard, bought in 1977 or so, was a ‘71 Vega hatchback if that tells you anything 😂 🚙!

Finally…finally, finally, finally, got back to the range today, been a minute. Decided to haul these two out of the safe. Wilson Combat EDC x9, fitted with original irons, my currently longest owned gun, and CZ Shadow 2 Carry, wearing a Holosun EPS Carry 6 MOA green, my newest gun. Each gun...

So Wednesday I hit the range with the new CZ Shadow 2 Carry to make sure everything functioned correctly. No surprise, it did! More detail on that event - https://www.thearmorylife.com/forum/threads/ngd-range-day-cz-shadow-2-carry.22864/#post-390523 Thursday I affixed a Holosun EPS-Carry...

Got the call from LGS yesterday and went and picked up my CZ S2 Carry. Broke it down and cleaned all the shipping gunk out of it this morning (wasn’t a whole lot). Weed eater and lawn mower to the lawn (supposed to storm tonight and tomorrow, so needed to get it done). Finally headed to the...

Figured this was the best sub forum to post this since “some” like to use these alleged “facts” as a way to restrict 2A rights across the country. I doubt I’m the only one here who knew (or suspected) this kind of data manipulation was occurring. Of course, this is an opinion article, so make...

My 🐂 💩 senses seem to be tingling at the moment. I’m trying to internalize ANY reason someone would be cleaning a gun in their car at a gas station, while loaded nonetheless, and just “happen” to hit an innocent. My perspective is that someone who carries gun cleaning supplies in their car...

These folks are just never going to get it. I see old Nancy is still making poor legislation choices… https://www.nraila.org/articles/20250527/us-representative-suggests-tripling-600-suppressor-tax
