Don’t just assume you are safe just because you’re home. How many crimes happen IN the home while it’s occupied? We tend to let our guard down when we’re home—do you walk around armed the whole time? Most of us (including myself) will answer no. I am in a privileged situation where I do not…
The 1911 has to be one of the most copied pistols in existence. A cynical person would say the patents are long expired so that’s why so many are made, but let’s be real: If the design of the 1911 was not solid as it is, the over-100-year-old pistol design would have been superseded by…
Ahh it’s time to hit the open road for that American pastime: the road trip. Where are we going? Who cares? But even if your drive is just getting from point A to B, how do you carry your firearms while you’re on the road? The most obvious answer is that your pistol is in…
Not an April Fool’s gag: After 26 years Glock is finally releasing the Glock 28 to the American public. Reportedly, the Glock 25 will also be released. Here in the States both the Glock 28 and 25 are sort of mythical creatures, that exist almost everywhere else in the world … except for the U.S….
Forty-three years old marks a special milestone in my life. I have been in the firearms industry now for OVER half of my life. And as such I have pretty much seen it all when it comes to shooting stuff. It drives my wife crazy because it makes me really hard to buy for. Specifically…
How about this for an ironic twist: “CNN reporter reveals her crew was robbed in San Francisco while covering city’s rampant crime.” It seems like criminals have been emboldened by today’s progressive politics. Even with hired security guarding the vehicle—parked in front of city hall, no less—criminals took only 4 seconds to conduct a smash…
Looking for a budget-friendly carry piece that does everything you need it to do? Our expert bullet n’ blade reviewer Eoin May’s got a secret: One of his favorite carry pieces costs less than four bills to own. That’s the Stoeger STR9C, and it’s a handgun that performs just as well on the range as…
The Smith & Wesson EZ pistol series is arguably one of the most popular sold in America, but you wouldn’t know it from talking to “gun guys.” There are a lot of tacticool types who won’t admit to owning a gun that’s specifically made and marketed to be easy to shoot, like the EZ series…
Preparedness does not equal paranoia. Most adults will experience some level of emergency or natural disaster in their lifetimes, from tornadoes and earthquakes to a simple vehicle breakdown at the wrong time and place. In the last couple months travelers in my area were forced to shelter in their cars overnight during a snowstorm. That’s…
Ahh a question as old as time and no doubt one of the most commonly questions asked by gun owners there is. What is the best caliber for my gun? Well, especially in the gun store setting there is no quicker way to start a debate, and you will surely get all kinds of answers….
A city’s civic center, a high-school football game, and one bad actor in the crowd. A shot rang out in the middle of a crowd of several hundred people. In an instant, chaos reigned: The formerly happy high-school football crowd ran away in all directions, fight-or-flight survival mode fully activated. All sane behavior and thinking…
