In the previous edition of Living Legends we spoke with Rob Haught. Today we have the opportunity to chat with Bruce Cartwright of SAC Tactical. Interview with Bruce Cartwright I first met Bruce Cartwright at the Pat Rogers Memorial Revolver Roundup in 2023. While I wasn’t familiar with Bruce’s work prior to that course, he…
I’ve spoken about setting up your revolver EDC in the past. While there aren’t tons of options, there are a few companies modernizing gear for the 21st century. One of these companies is Dark Star Gear. A few years ago Dark Star collaborated with Cecil Burch of Immediate Action Combatives to bring us a new…
During Technical Handgun – Tests & Standards in 2023, I shot my Glock 48 for the class. During those two days, I had some serious pinky-pinching, caused by the floorplates on my magazines. With my large hands, the floorplates were flexing a little, which was slapping the underside of my pinky under recoil. Well, I…
Recently I found myself browsing the internet, looking for additional drills to diversify my range time. One thing I’ve been focusing on this year is introducing movement, target transitions, and more rather than simply standing stationary against a single target.

Recently the firearms trainer world has been blowing up with drama (once again). This time the argument revolves around optics versus irons on pistols (again). Some people say that optics are the superior option, while others say that iron sights are better and optics are not trustworthy. It’s the same old same old, a topic…
Jeff Cooper’s “4 Rules of Firearm Safety” are ubiquitous. Everyone who is remotely familiar with guns is familiar with those 4 rules. However, a lot of people do not understand how they work in the real world. For most people, these rules are only thought about while at the shooting range. In this article, I…
As a resident of the Western portion of the United States, I have the privilege to shoot on public land. This allows me to have more complex practice sessions, incorporating drawstrokes, alternative positions, and more. Lately I’ve been wanting to make my range time more dynamic to work on other skills. With this in mind,…
