Blessed by my bosses with the Friday before Christmas off (odd, considering Christmas was on a Tuesday this year), I decided to treat myself to the Friday half of a Friday-Saturday IDPA match. As it happened, heavy rain for more than 24 hours prior, and more predicted rain for the Friday I would be attending, […]
I fear this article may stir up some controversy. This is not, however, my intention. Rather, I intend to outline a portion of my own journey in the area of pistol sights, share my own conclusions, and invite you to do your own testing. Be warned: the choice of pistol sights—just like the choice of […]
To date, I have written only one article on handgun sights, reviewing the Ameriglo I Dot Pros that are currently worn by all of my Glock handguns. John, on the other hand, has written reviews of several different sights (see here, here, here, and here!…more to come?) as he continues on his personal sight […]

This time, shooting in a challenging match in which a lot of fellow shooters struggled–and in punishing heat and humidity–I reached a new personal best. Equipment My equipment […]
In keeping with my post last week outlining a trip to the range, this week I thought I would post the results of my latest range session. As readers of this blog are probably by now aware, I am a huge fan of the writings of Claude Werner, “The Tactical Professor”. I find all of his […]
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 […]
