Normally, when we discuss home-defense firearms, images of shotguns and handguns will quickly come to mind. Both have their place in the defensive armory, but they have drawbacks. Shotguns typically have limited capacity, are slow to reload and the recoil of a 12 gauge can be brutal. Handguns may improve capacity and are quicker to reload, but the power of a handgun round is limited. Read More

I've carried concealed long enough to remember when fanny packs were cool. Like many things in life, there is a cyclical nature that brings things back in style. The thing to consider is why a fanny pack may be important or even worth discussing for concealed carry. The answer is simple: It lowers a barrier to entry for many who are still not comfortable carrying on body, and it can provide a method suitable for certain activities where belt or pocket carry are less optimal.

For 2024, Smith & Wesson revamped its affordable SD9 series by introducing the new SD9 2.0 pistol. Like its predecessor, the new SD9 2.0 wears the familiar two-tone silver and black livery, and still represents Smith & Wesson's value proposition as a no-frills, striker-fired, defensive handgun built around a polymer frame and a 4-inch barrel. The SD9 2.0 operates using the familiar Browning delayed-blowback system found on many of today's modern handguns. Read More

In the early days of my trying to develop the skills needed to shoot well, above the high score of our agency's firearms qualification, I sought the guidance of tier-one government assets and competitive grandmasters alike. Many of them offered common advice such as bring stability to alignment and press careful so as to not disturb that alignment, develop good mechanical and visual process, stay mentally focused and such, all of which proved to be tremendously useful.

Sadly, there were not a lot of new ammunition products introduced at SHOT Show for 2024. Well, at least not enough to which I could devote a full column. However, what I found interesting was the number of new shotshell loads for handguns that were introduced. Shotshell handgun loads are ideal for dealing with venomous snakes and can even be used on small rodents like barn rats and ever larger critters like opossums and skunks at close range. Read More

Today we'll be looking at a slightly different take on the pistol caliber carbine, as well as an inexpensive 1x prism sight and a true "high capacity" magazine. The popularity of the pistol caliber carbine (PCC) has blossomed in the past dozen years. Gun owners are realizing that having an easy to shoot gun that's more accurate than a pistol might be a good thing for home defense, and the introduction of PCC-specific divisions in most practical shooting sports has furthered this trend.

When it comes to armed citizens defending themselves against criminal attackers, the 3-3-3- rule has become the norm. That is three shots, in three seconds, at 3 yards being considered what the average action looks like. And I hesitate to use the word "rule" because it is really more of an estimate. You see, there is no national clearing house that collects data about citizens using deadly force to protect themselves. Read More
