Should I Shoot My Carry Gun?

December 20, 2022 By Joshua Gillem

Once again I came across a comment in a gun forum that’s got me scratching my head. This time around, the question is about whether or not other people shoot their carry gun. The guy posting the comment was buying a new-used carry pistol, and was informed by the seller that he had never shot […]

December 3, 2022 By Joshua Gillem

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 […]

How Can I Defend Myself If I’m Under 21?

November 9, 2022 By Joshua Gillem

Another question I see asked on internet forums dedicated to concealed carry and self-defense, is regarding those individuals who are not yet of legal age to buy or carry a firearm. Truth be told, you are limited on what you can do if you are under the age of legally being able to carry a […]

Why Training To Shoot And Move Could Save Your Life

October 19, 2022 By Joshua Gillem

It’s no secret that I’m a big proponent of concealed carry (or open carry if you’re so inclined). I think that every person in the United States should carry a gun for self-defense. The reasons why are numerous, but suffice it to say that you cannot rely on anyone, including the government, to save you. […]

Should I Carry With A Round In The Chamber?

October 14, 2022 By Joshua Gillem

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 […]

October 13, 2022 By Terry Nelson

Red Dot Pistol Training I have been shooting handguns for over 45 years; 35 of those as a law enforcement firearms instructor.

October 5, 2022 By Joshua Gillem

Every so often I read something that makes me scratch my head — not necessarily because the thing is stupid, but because we’ve covered the topic before. I’ve covered it when I was editor at Concealed Carry, other people have covered it on other publications, and yet people still do it. So, it obviously needs […]

Top 5 Best 5.7X28 Guns (Plus a Bonus)

September 29, 2022 By Joshua Gillem

The 5.7X28 round isn’t exactly new. FN Herstal first released this cartridge several years back, with a couple dedicated guns, the P(S)90 and the FN Five-seveN. There was originally a lot of obscurity surrounding it and what it was capable of, which we touch on more in depth in the below-linked article. Suffice it to […]
