Rock Island 3.10

“Damn I wish I had a (insert obscure tool) with me…” Most of us have been in this spot a time or three at the range and it almost always seems to happen when we need to make something work. Revered gunsmithing tool makers,…

Are new shooters a gift to our own marksmanship?
“If you want to keep it, you have to give it away.” Interesting paradox, right? The preceding adage can refer to many aspects of life but it is almost exclusively associated with knowledge.

ESS Crossbow eye shields
Just a few weeks ago I informed a student that he was going to have to supply his own shatterproof eye protection, as we were suspending loaners during COVID-19. He replied that he has prescription glasses, but wasn’t sure if they were shatterproof. Of course, most prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses are, but it got me…

New Taurus® G3c
When Flugaloo fear was on the rise everyday civilians found themselves scraping together whatever cash wasn’t already invested in toilet paper to buy a firearm. When a gun is purchased under these circumstances it typically is not a Cabot or a Caesar Guerini that comes home, it’s something with more of a bargain-basement feel. Today,…

Sphinx SDP
We typically associate the Swiss with some pretty peaceful stuff. Maybe a warm cup of cocoa or perhaps a cute little pocketknife for a kid’s first camping trip. While this is certainly accurate it should not go unnoticed that the Swiss are actually pretty badass. For starters, their gun laws are in many ways less…

Bear OPS Incognito Knife
Most of us don’t think twice about strapping a gun on every morning, but many of us are guilty of leaving the knife that was next to it on the dresser as we walk out the door. It’s pretty strange if you ask me, I mean we prepare for an encounter with the scum of the…
