Review: KelTec P15 Pistol

Review: KelTec P15 Pistol

Few companies elicit as strong a reaction from gun buyers as KelTec. This Florida manufacturer's guns are typically marvels of design created by the owner, George Kellgren—one of the few firearm engineers for whom the overly used appellation "genius" is apt. The problem is, his designs were often hampered by manufacturing difficulties in the past (particularly early in a product's life). Read More

Review: Rock Island 5.0 9mm Pistol

Review: Rock Island 5.0 9mm Pistol

Rock Island Armory (RIA) got its start in the Philippines, with a logo that harkens back to the defense of Corregidor, the famed "rock island" in the middle of Manila Bay and home to some of the fiercest fighting of World War II. RIA is known for having a wide selection of 1911-style pistols, but the 5.0 is a brand new pistol that, while it is hammer-fired and single action, uses a completely new action (more on that later).

Review: Bushnell Match Pro ED 5-30x56 mm

Review: Bushnell Match Pro ED 5-30x56 mm

Let's start with the non-traditional review stuff right now. The new Match Pro ED 5-30x56 mm scope from Bushnell is not earth-shattering. It doesn't make wind calls for you. It doesn't zero itself without using any ammunition. It doesn't come in a 256-color-palette format that allows you to match it to the Cerakote finish of your favorite rifle. Read More

Why Choose A Slim Pistol?

Why Choose A Slim Pistol?

Travel with me back to the turn of the Millennium, when the big worry on internet firearm forums was what was going to happen when all the lights went out at midnight on Dec. 31, 1999. As we all know, Y2K was a great big wet firecracker, at least for those of us who weren't older programmers brought out of retirement to make bank patching legacy code, just in case. Read More

Skills Check: Hold Control Drill

Skills Check: Hold Control Drill

One of the most critical, but underrated, skills in shooting is what the NRA calls "Hold Control." In a nutshell, it is your ability to hold your handgun so that the muzzle is oriented with (aimed in at) the target while you're pressing off one or more rounds. The importance of this fundamental skill cannot be overly stressed. Read More

Handbook: One-Handed Shooting

I believe, and we validate this through our training, there are essential skills a shooter must develop to be well-rounded, a generalist when it comes to being prepared for a deadly force encounter. The problem with being a generalist is there are lots of things to practice. Read More

Empty Hands

Empty Hands

When police respond to a call of shots fired, they have very little idea who the bad guys are and who the good guys are. Therefore, when they arrive on-scene, they're probably going to consider anyone at the scene with firearm visible as a threat or a suspect. Read More

Rifle Roundup: Springfield Armory Saint with a Holosun 510c

Rifle Roundup: Springfield Armory Saint with a Holosun 510c

The concept behind the defensive rifle is centuries old. From the Revolutionary War-era long rifles of the Pennsylvania farmer to the lever guns of the American frontier to the bolt-action, sporterized M1903 Springfield that my father in law used to defend his family, the rifle is and always will be an excellent defensive firearm. The modern semi-automatic AR-pattern rifle is an extension of this legacy. The Springfield Armory Saint M-Lok 5.56 is a good example of what the modern defensive rifle looks like. Read More

Review: Sticky OR-9 Holster

Review: Sticky OR-9 Holster

Who says carrying a large-frame firearm requires a fancy holster with beefy belt clips? Conventional wisdom may say it does, but the folks at Sticky Holster don't agree. In fact, with the Sticky OR (Optic Ready) 9 holster, not only can you carry a full-sized gun, but the holster is notch cut for a red dot. Read More
