LPVOs vs Red Dot Optics

LPVOs vs Red Dot Optics

These days, all kinds of optics are available for both defensive and general-purpose carbines, but arguably the red-dot [reflex] sight and the LPVO [low power variable optic] are the most popular. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but ultimately their aim is the same: helping shooters put rounds on target. Red-dot sights are built for quick, close-distance shots while LPVOs are intended to be both quick up close with the added ability to magnify targets further away. Read More

In 1816 Eliphalet Remington built a rifle that won matches and quickly gained favor with sportsmen in the area. Sales grew, and by 1828 he moved manufacturing to Ilion, NY, where it operated though two World Wars, one Civil War, several bankruptcies, the Great Depression and multiple changes in ownership. The storied, nearly 200-year history—in a city that today numbers less than 8,000 residents—comes to a close in March 2024. Read More

Review: Taurus TH45 Pistol

Review: Taurus TH45 Pistol

No matter what the cool kids on the internet are saying, I believe size does matter in carry-gun cartridges. Even considering the "magic bullets" and the testing done by the FBI, the laws of physics say it is so. When Taurus came out with its new TH45, I was delighted to see continuing support for the battle-proven .45 ACP. Read More

Browning Hi Power Custom Build Part 1

Browning Hi Power Custom Build Part 1

As a gunwriter, one can correctly assume that I have an affinity for firearms. Much like Will Rogers who once remarked, "I never met a man I didn't like," I feel a similar kinship with all things that go bang. However, despite this universal fondness for firearms, there are some guns that will always hold a special place in my heart. One of which is the venerable 1911. Read More

Reactionary Zones Part 2

Last month we dove into The Complete Combatant's Reactionary Zones Part 1, which focused on the "most" amount of time to react, act and respond to a threat. The most distance is around 25 feet and beyond. We often say that "distance equals time" so this zone gives us the most distance or time to make a really good first decision. Read More

Personal Defense And The Law

Personal Defense And The Law

Not long ago, I heard about an incident I want to bring to your attention. A motorist, traveling outside his state of residence, was the victim of a minor traffic accident. However, during the investigation, an officer found two handguns in his car. The motorist was arrested for carrying without a permit, a felony in that particular state. Read More

Review: NEXTorch Saint 31 Flashlight

Review: NEXTorch Saint 31 Flashlight

I have been a big believer in the everyday carry flashlight since my days working as an assistant in a commercial photography studio, where I carried a small, aluminum-bodied AA light that had a whopping six (Count 'em! Six!) lumen output. This seems rather pathetic these days, but those six lumens came in mighty handy when the available light dropped to zero. Read More

Fightin' Iron: The Terrier

Fightin' Iron: The Terrier

While nicely compact for carry purposes, the Smith & Wesson Terrier's .38 S&W cartridge displayed poor terminal performance.
