What Causes Accidental Discharges?

I have been reading a lot about guns going off on their own lately for a variety of reasons. Most of these incidents have involved pistols, sometimes inside holsters and other times being dropped or banged up against something, causing the gun to fire. Last hunting season, a local man was injured when his rifle, which was propped up against his truck, fell and fired, hitting him in the leg. Read More

Optical [r]Evolution

Much has changed since my last dive into low-power, variable optics, or LPVOs.

Review: Safariland/Haley Strategic Partners IncogX AIWB Holster

Appendix carry and I don't get along that well. We folk with a little extra padding around the midsection weren't really designed to have a holster at the 12- or 1-o'clock positions. Appendix carry, however, is all the rage these days—and for good reasons. First, accessing a handgun carried in the appendix position is substantially faster than one on the hip. Read More

Things To Consider

Too often, when we think about personal defense, our minds go directly to guns, ammo and other gear. Some get all excited when they acquire the latest handgun with those fancy new sights, while the poor guy who is still packing the 1911 gets labeled as a "Fudd," and nobody really knows what to call the poor soul who is still relying on a double-action revolver ... bless his heart.
