Updated from November 2018 and April 2021. This list of the best 9mm pistols has been evolving over the past four or five years. It started out as a short list of seven or so pistols, grew to about 20 with the last iteration, and is being shortened back down again as I’m done trying […]
Trump VS DeSantis, and a Warning To Republicans
The midterm elections have just passed, and while they’re still fresh in our minds, I think it’s important to discuss some key takeaways from the results. And, of course, Trump is running for president in 2024. I’ll give you my thoughts on Trump a bit later. But for now, let’s discuss what I think happened […]

Over time, I’ve admittedly began to run out of things to write about concerning guns. If you look, our humble little blog has nearly 800 posts on it, most of which are written by me. It should come as no surprise that I’ve got nothing left to say. So, it’s nice when I can look […]
