Should You Draw Your Gun When Staring Down A Barrel Yourself?

September 29, 2019 By Joshua Gillem Leave a Comment

For a recent defensive gun use story I wrote, a social media commentator mentioned that she didn’t see a problem with drawing your gun when you’re looking down the barrel of a gun yourself.

Taurus Spectrum Review (Updated Customer Thoughts)

August 25, 2019 By Joshua Gillem 14 Comments

Taurus Spectrum Review

Taurus Spectrum Review Update: I’ve had the Taurus Spectrum for a while now, and I admittedly don’t shoot it that often. Since I’ve had it I’ve only brought it to the range on a few different occasions. It kind of sucks to shoot, for me anyway. Part of the problem I’ve had is the trigger […]

Best AR-15 Manufacturers and Brands [2019]

April 9, 2019 By Joshua Gillem 19 Comments

Who makes the best AR-15s? Why the AR-15? I think we can both agree that the AR-15 is an essential firearm for just about any gun enthusiast. I’m a firm believer that every gun owner needs to own at least one of them. They are the perfect weapon for home-defense, regardless of what any snowflake […]

7 Most Common Places For Crime

October 11, 2018 By Craig Campbell Leave a Comment

The common human response to crime is usually something along the lines of: “I can’t believe that happened in this town.” Or, “why me?” We see it all the time on the news. A journalist interviews a witness or local after any serious crime, and the answer is usually the same, or something very similar to […]

Concealed Carry Holster Review, JM4 QCC Generally speaking, I won’t do a holster evaluation unless it’s something really different that you just don’t see everyday. For example, I don’t usually do Kydex holster reviews because everyone and their uncle can get some equipment, make one, and, sadly, many of them are nearly identical to each […]

Improve Your Readiness With These Five Defensive Shooting Positions

March 26, 2018 By Terry Nelson Leave a Comment

prone pistol shooting

You made the decision to carry a sidearm on your person or in your vehicle daily. In addition, you selected a handgun and obtained some baseline training and perhaps shot a qualifying score in a concealed carry class.

Five Decisions That Will Help You Win a Self-Defense Encounter

March 23, 2018 By Terry Nelson Leave a Comment

When training new shooters, especially those new to concealed carry or rookie law enforcement officers, I always provide a solid foundation of basic marksmanship.
