I’ve used a lot of pocket holsters over the years. With doing my Pocket Pistol Roundup of 2023, and my ongoing Round 2 series, I’ve been experimenting with even more varieties of holsters. I thought I had found my favorite kydex holsters a number of years ago, but that changed last summer. Our Sean B.…
If you’re like me, you’ve probably experienced burn out from time to time with your shooting. For nearly a decade, almost all of my range time has been “practical” shooting. Action shooting competitions, various defensive focused classes, and personal training sessions centered on “real world” skills. With nearly 500 articles under my belt over the…
Recently folks have been talking about changes to the SIG P320’s user manual that include bold text about not carrying with a round in the chamber. As expected, this has been met with scorn, as well as amusement. Curious, I decided to dive into the manuals of the P320’s competitors to see what other “duty…
Over the years, I’ve had quite a few guns milled for optics. At time of writing, it has been two VP9s, three Glocks, a S&W Shield, and a 1911. With those guns, I’ve only used the same shops on two occasions. Battle Werx is one of those shops, and I want to go over the…
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. This led me to the Shotgun Assault Course from Nate Parker, which is based on…
When Aimpoint and Glock announced their collaboration earlier this year, I was immediately interested. The initial press suggested that Aimpoint had fixed most of what I disliked about the ACRO P2. Furthermore, the unique cut of the COA allows for the same optic to work on slimline guns as well as duty-size guns. As I…
There are many elements to a handgun. This is pretty obvious, but the most important one is function. Does the gun work? Well, over the last 150 years, there have been a lot of firearms that work well. They gain popularity, get adopted by militaries, cops, and regular folks, and get used. Well, what happens…
