I first learned of Dale Fricke Holsters several years ago around the same time that I discovered appendix carry from reading the online forum Warrior Talk. As with so many previous examples with Suarez, the business alliance that had formed is no more. Suarez’s business practices aside, I’m glad that I discovered Dale Fricke Holsters and I […]
Uh oh. I hope I didn’t give this article a controversial title! Elsewhere on the blog (here, for example), both John and I have expressed our affinity for the Glock platform in general, and the Glock 19 in particular. However, I thought it worthwhile to write an article specifically about the Glock 19. Now, let […]
I have mentioned before here on the blog that I consider myself a life-long learner. I don’t know everything about anything, and it’s even mentioned in “About the Blog” that we reserve the right to change our minds about our thoughts. In accordance with being a life-long learner, I really enjoy taking training classes (as […]
(Note: Renaissance Steel Research is now Defense Targets. Relevant links have been updated 12/14/16.) I’m a lucky guy… my wife buys me awesome gifts!

Two mornings ago I awoke but my wife did not. A mostly healthy 38-year-old woman went to bed at night and was unresponsive at 6 AM. Before you read any further, please remember that John is the paramedic, not me. I did the sternum rub and some light smacks to the face. I called 911, […]
On a recent trip to the range, for the first time in a long time, I didn’t collect any brass to bring home. That’s because there wasn’t any to pick up! In a previous post, I mentioned that I had purchased a couple of 50 round boxes of Freedom Munitions‘ new American Steel ammunition to try […]
Returning readers of the blog will notice an obvious change. Based on some feedback that the previous appearance was at times difficult to read, we are experimenting with a different theme. Although the blog looks different (hopefully better), the content is the same. Please let us know what you think of the change!
There are training videos and training videos. I am sure we have all had a good laugh at some of the YouTube “training” videos out there.
