If you’ve been reading Primer Peak for the last year, you’ve probably noticed a fair bit of content regarding firearms and parenthood. We’ve welcomed two children into our home in the last two years, and that’s driven some change in how we store our firearms. Our first child is old enough now to pull themselves…
Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (X) are the places to let your thoughts be heard in today’s world. Everyone has a voice, more or less, in these digital town squares. Whether it be politics, comedy, life advice, or any other topic under the sun, there’s a Group, Subreddit, Thread, or some other home for you. However,…
In early 2025 I wrote a piece covering conceal carry while baby wearing. Due to baby Primer Peak being just a few months old, they were exclusively worn on the front of our bodies for their safety. Now that baby is older, they’re finding themselves strapped to our backs more often than not! This means…
When Colt revolvers re-entered the scene in 2017, I was immediately intrigued. The Prancing Pony dances through the imaginations of many revolver enthusiasts, though they eluded my hands for years. I managed to put a few rounds through the new Python during 2020’s SHOT Show and was very impressed, but once again fate had other…
Earlier this year I wrote Baby Wearing and Conceal Carry for New Mothers. In that article I heavily focused on carrying baby on my front, and only briefly mentioned carrying baby on my back. I did this in part because I had not seen any other resources discussing how to baby wear an itty bitty…

The Duty RDS MR features a multi-reticle system, allowing users to swap between a traditional single dot, a circle-dot, and circle-only reticle. This is a significant departure for Aimpoint, as previously the company has stuck with a single dot configuration, and touted…
One of the major lacking factors in most people’s EDC is effective medical gear. Over the past decade I’ve seen a huge uptick in the number of people carrying a tourniquet, which is a great improvement. Unfortunately, the tourniquet is not the magic cure to traumatic injuries that some people make it out to be.…
In late 2023 I attended the Rangemaster Professional Pistolcraft course. During this class several students and I began to discuss what we’d like to see in a dedicated “revolver instructor development course.” This conversation led me to start looking for shooting standards that I thought might fit the bill. Eventually this led to me to…
Earlier today we received notice of a new revolver coming from Taurus. This new revolver is known as the 66 Combat. It is a stainless steel, medium frame, 7-shot, 357 Magnum. It features a trench style rear sight and a HIVIZ green fiber optic front post a top a full underlug barrel. Hogue supplies rubber…
created by InCollage SETTING THE SCENE The ramshackle house was not much of a structure. Cement blocks and plywood walls bolted to a metal frame, surrounded by a narrow dirt pit, clawed from the desert rock and sand decades before. But the structure serves its purpose well. Many shots fired in anger have erupted from…
