At just 5.834 inches and 7.2 ounces, Nosler's SR-30K is shorter, lighter and easier to maneuver in tight spots than most suppressors. Yet it gives you the decibel reduction of a much larger model. And that is how it makes hunting more fun than ever. Read More

The simple fact is that most home invasions can be defeated. Why, then, you might ask, are so many occurring all across the country? The primary reason is because too many people are uninformed and unprepared. As with other aspects of the defensive lifestyle, what is needed is a few changes in procedures and the forming of some defensive habits. Read More

Often in this column I harp on the importance of practicing, because there is no new gun, proven tactic or clever shortcut that can be a substitute for familiarity with your defensive gun. When the chips are down, the light is low and hearts are beating fast, you must be so familiar with your shotgun that you can move, shoot and load with minimal conscious thought. But, we all know this. The problem is, after a while drilling starts to seem like work. Read More

I recently read an article that caused me to do some thinking about defensive-firearm training, what we teach and how we teach it. The author made the statement that every year, thousands of people with no training and very little practice successfully use their firearms to defend themselves against violent criminals. Read More

The world is full of firearm designs, models, variants and options, and we should be glad for it. But, the ones we have are the ones that "made it." Some promising designs had problems of one kind or another, and they just dropped out of sight. Not all were due to poor quality—sometimes it was just bad luck or poor business decisions having nothing to do with the gun itself. Here are three pistols that, had things taken a slightly different turn, could have been major platforms in the gun world. Let's take a trip back in time, shall we? Read More

The fact is that a good portion of every day is shrouded in darkness, and that is a factor in our self-defense planning and preparation. If we find ourselves dealing with low-light or no-light self-defense problems, then having an artificial light source may be tremendously helpful. The question is, what kind of artificial light source do we need? Read More

Several months ago, I was asked "if I was being attacked, is there any way to 'channel' all my energy, like I see in some athletes, and physically 'power-up'?" I have found many articles on how letting out a word, scream or grunt at a crucial time can be beneficial in a controlled environment, but I am unable to find any articles that are specific to using this "power -up" technique when time is of the essence in a violent encounter.

One of the better-known quotes of Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese warrior philosopher, is "Know your enemy, know yourself, and you will be invincible." The idea behind this saying is that if you truly know what you and the forces opposing you are each capable of doing, you'll never fight a battle you can't win. Read More

When AKs resurged after the sunset of the1994 Assault Weapons Ban, it wasn't long before Kalashnikov enthusiasts became dismayed by the problems of affixing modern optics to vintage Eastern-bloc firearms. In 2009, Scot Hoskisson, an engineer by trade, began working on a modular mounting system that allows for modern optics like the Trijicon ACOG to be mounted onto AK-style firearms directly over the receiver and inline with the bore.
