It is a good practice to change out your defensive ammunition every four to six months. Most gun owners will hem and haw over that advice, citing that the “expense” is too great to do that twice a year. If you ask us, it sounds far more expensive to get a click instead of a...

There are three things that you need to win a gunfight: capacity, capacity, and capacity. Ok, that’s not true, but it’s pretty hard to stop a rapist with a gun that just ran dry. Until just a few years ago, having double-digit pain on board meant finding a way to conceal a larger gun–but that…
Every day carry (EDC) means being a good ambassador for the Second Amendment community. Part of that responsibility is introducing new shooters to the world of firearms by giving them a positive first interaction, making them want to learn more. Often times people come to firearms with preconceived notions, fears, or concerns based on past…
Shooting paper is the simplest target solution out there, there is no denying that. Although it sets up quickly and is readily available it does have a few issues, such as needing constant repair and replacement. All of these breaks in the action cut into your shooting time and disrupt any rhythm that you be…
About 10 years ago I was sitting in NRA Headquarters undergoing the necessary training to be promoted to Training Counselor. In the course sat a variety of instructors all of uniquely different backgrounds. While we all came from different places we all shared double-digit experience when it came to years of training students. In other…
When most gun owners hear the phrase “personal protection” they typically think of a handgun and holster. However personal protection can also be passive, such as in ballistic inserts and plate carriers. Before the internet, this equipment was either expensive, uncomfortable, or even both. When we find less expensive options we meet them with skepticism….
Go ahead and look down at your waist. Now, ask yourself why you have that specific brand of ammo in your gun. Was it because the advertising was convincing? Was it because a friend who knows a cop that knows a special forces guy told you that IT was the BEST? Hell, maybe it was…
Not maintaining your EDC blade is about as crazy as not maintaining your handgun. A dull blade is going to be frustrating to work with and will likely slip off of whatever you are trying to cut, risking injury. Sharpening a blade is no simple skill. To this day I still cannot consistently eyeball a…
There’s no arguing that we spend hundreds of hours debating what the best gear is to carry. From guns, to knives to even watches and flashlights we consider every aspect of the item we select from each category. While all of these items are instrumental to carry we seldom think about the gear that is…
There was a time when pistol red dots were either a symbol of affluence or an indicator that a firearm belonged to a high-level competitor. Today that is simply not the case. Heck, USPSA even created the “carry-optics division” to accommodate their growing popularity and the changing eyesight of those who have been competing for…
I’ll never forget the first time I read the words “The Aging Defender” it was the title of an article that went into detail on what else to expect later in life besides more frequent bathroom visits and the occasional unscheduled underwear change. These functions aren’t the only ones that won’t be as crisp when…
Most of us get prepared for the day by strapping on a gun and if we are smart, a knife. The gear we select is often based on the idea that we might encounter someone or something that wants to do us harm. Or perhaps we just want to be prepared should we need to…
It was during my first section of the Appalachian Trail that I realized the value of multifunctional gear. I took what I learned in the woods and applied it to everyday life, after all, you don’t need to be living out of a bag for a week to appreciate carrying less stuff around. Everyday carry…
