In the first installment of this series on common Glock modifications, I mentioned three areas that are commonly addressed in the aftermarket. Namely, grip, sights, and trigger. The Glock trigger is actually not all that bad to begin with, but there have nonetheless been numerous attempts by more people than I can count to make […]
I have very deliberately tried to make 2017 mostly about “filling in cracks” in my training resume. Empty-hand skills as well as revisiting carbine and medical skills have already been—or soon will be—addressed. One area I have never addressed with a formal training class is defensive shotgun skills. Prior to this past Sunday, my only […]
You’ve probably already read Robert’s thoughts on this year’s Rangemaster Tactical Conference. If not, you can find his AAR here. Robert covered most of the basics of attending the conference, but as our schedules during the conference did not exactly coincide, I will talk a little bit about my experiences as well.

This year’s conference—the 19th annual iteration of the conference—was held at the Direct Action Resource Center (DARC) in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Cost of the conference was $335 per person.

Here, I’m going to explain my thoughts about aftermarket sights. (Anyone who read this particular post when it was first published will probably note that I’ve made some […]

The March iteration of the newsletter was unusual in that it lacked a bunch of separate articles, but was instead the transcript of an interview he did about active shooters. As with most things Tom […]
Regular readers of the blog know that I have been carrying a Glock 19 Gen 4 for a few years now. I started my combat Tupperware collection with a Glock 19 Gen 3 back in 2009, but eventually bought a Gen 4, hoping that the slightly shorter trigger reach and reduced grip dimensions would alleviate […]
