I’ve written previously about my revolver dry practice routine. Recently, I noticed something that I was doing subconsciously. Namely, the degree of cant when aiming one handed. I noticed that I cant the gun to a noticeably greater degree with my support hand than I do with my primary hand. (Apologies for the crappy cellphone […]
The past couple of years, I haven’t really posted anything public regarding the anniversary of 9/11. Part of the reason is being cancelled by social media. I certainly think about the anniversary every year, but have lacked the time or motivation to actually post here at the blog. I’m not much into current events commentary […]
Countless times, other gun owners have shared their lessons learned with concealed carry while recuperating from various illnesses, injuries, and surgeries. The common advice is to have alternate holsters and the skills to use them already hardwired in place. That’s good advice, and below, I’m going to share my take on the subject. What follows […]
This past weekend, I spent two days at the gun club where I’m a member taking part in a Project Appleseed event. This class took place shortly after the April 19th anniversary of “the shot heard around the world.” This is an important point, as the Appleseed Project is fundamentally based on Revolutionary War history […]
One of the many things that I consistently remember from two decades of training is Mike Pannone’s advice of “Avoid, Evade, Defend” as priorities of action. Similarly, Claude Werner, the Tactical Professor, refers to this as the “Avoid, Escape, Confront, Resist” paradigm. A few months ago, I found myself in a position to use this […]

We often hear just such a question from idealistic gun control advocates… you need only ask a Ukrainian right now.

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve been sitting on this post since I first penned it in October of 2018. My opinion has evolved somewhat over that time, but hasn’t fundamentally changed. So, I’m going to go ahead and share it here. In discussing the best zero for a carbine (AR-15, etc.), I think […]
As in years past, I again journeyed down to South Carolina to spend a week sitting in hunting blinds hoping to score some venison or pork. This year, we were a group of four. I drove down with a close friend that I work with, while one of my oldest friends that I consider a […]
