Fightin' Iron: How Far?

When Capt. Bob Martin walked through the company-office door that first time, the silence was deafening. In a perfectly tailored green uniform, topped with four rows of campaign ribbons, he was an imposing Marine and Company K's new Commanding Officer. Below the ribbons identifying combat service in World War II and Korea, there were three shooting medals—gold shooting medals. Read More

The Classics: Winchester Model 1897 Trench Gun

"If they move, kill 'em."—Pike Bishop (William Holden, "The Wild Bunch," 1969) William Holden's face filled the screen as he uttered those words during the opening-credit roll of Sam Peckinpah's classic western "The Wild Bunch." The camera cuts to Bo Hopkins as Crazy Lee who, while gripping a Winchester, replies, "I'll hold 'em here ‘til Hell freezes over or you say different." Read More

Head Down, Follow-Through

At some point in our early shooting lives, most of us were told to "follow-through" by placing our sights back on target immediately after firing each shot. If you failed to develop the habit properly, that advice was probably followed by regular reminders, admonishments and—if a drill sergeant was involved—the occasional boot to some portion of your prone body.

However, practically every AR-15 out there has an ejection port on the left hand side of the upper receiver. Read More

Pistol Fast Draw

The origins of pistol fast draw trace back to the Old West frontier when gunslingers' speed and dexterity with their revolvers could mean the difference between life and death. Legends like Wild Bill Hickok and Doc Holliday became famous not just for marksmanship, but for their ability to rapidly draw, aim and fire with deadly speed and accuracy. Read More

Review: ANR Kydex Holster Nidhogg Series OWB Holster

Mythbuster time: Not all holsters are created equal. While many are similar (they are well-built, hold a gun securely, and sometimes come in flashy colors), the quality can vary greatly from brand to brand and even from model to model within a brand. One brand that impresses me with consistent quality is ANR. Read More
