Does the title of this article ring a bell? I first heard it my Freshman year in college in reference to alcoholic beverages, and it rang true! This article, however, has nothing to do with college (or beer). Visit any of the “gun” web forums and you will sooner or later run across threads with […]
Earlier this week, yet another deranged gunman opened fire in a public venue, taking the lives of two former coworkers, apparently in revenge for perceived slights against him, his race, and his sexual orientation. I do not care to address the racial, social, or media driven undertones here, but I am compelled to examine the situation […]
In this post, I’m first going to discuss some of the benefits of incorporating a shot timer into your training regimen, and then I’m also going to briefly describe and review the shot timer that I’ve been using, the SHOTMAXX Timer from Double Alpha Academy. Benefits of Training with a Shot Timer I held off […]
As noted elsewhere on the blog, my preferred concealed carry method is appendix inside the waistband (AIWB). As was all over the web as well as in my article here, several notable instructors banned the use of AIWB in their classes.

I often curse my parents. Though I consider myself fairly intelligent, and can thank their genes for that, I can also thank them for my lack of height, probable propensity for heart disease, and questionable vision. To be fair, my vision didn’t start to go south until my sophomore year in college, so I guess […]
In my article on setting training goals, I mentioned the importance of taking at least one pure handgun class every year. By “pure”, I mean one built around the fundamentals of pistol marksmanship. It was with that belief in mind that I signed up for the Trident Concepts “Combative Pistol Level Two” class with Jeff […]
Those of you that have read some of my previous posts know that I am not a fan of the stock plastic Glock sights. Generally, sights are the first thing I will change out on any new Glock purchase. For several months now, I have been running the Defoor Proformance sights offered by Ameriglo on […]
It does us no good to carry a firearm or other defensive tool if we don’t have our heads “in the game”. I am no super-duper-ninja by any means, but recent observations I’ve made have indicated that I’m far ahead of the curve compared with most of the general public. A few weeks ago I had […]
