I had a conversation with some retired federal agents a few years ago. They worked cases in the 50's-70's. All three said the same thing, crime has not changed. Bad guys still do bad things and not getting more violent. Social media and the 24hr news cycle make things seam a lot worse. One said...
**WARNING GRAPHIC** (blood, gore, casualty cases)
Not sure if this has been posted yet. Disregard if it has.
They used to show lectures like this to new medics in the school house. Dispels myths and shows why we have time to save a life.
His comments drive home the point, that caliber...
Reading the article, the author claims a particular army Unit has dropped .40 in favor of 9mm. Coming from a reliable A1 grade source, they only use 9mm for niche missions. The .40 is the primary caliber for sidearms, and will be for the foreseeable future. It is the preferred side arm of said...
Ha.. nah, but that name brings me way back. I've had many an interesting range day with that guy. He gave me one of the original Crane made SPRs to test out, carried it for a long time. I was also around when he was helping develop the 6.8. I had one of his experimental 6.8 short barrels during...
I guess there is some consternation over my past and current employment. I don't recall making any claims I was special operations, spec ops, green beret, seal, etc. Ya, I did make a vague reference to being in group at one time. I didn't intend to drive anyone to conclusions, even if opinions...
I've used the Saran Wrap trick before to keep junk out of my hammer, I'll have to try it in my red dot pistol. The trick was taught to me by a FOG in my early group days. Big white guy, built like a gorilla. VG, has anyone ever called you Bucket.

Jack. You'd be surprised. Several departments/agencies have a lot more latitude on accessory selection.
VG. No worries, I've got thick skin. Not the first time I've been called to the floor. I will readily admit I'm an opinionated guy, so are the majority of people we associate with. The...
Sorry, I don't have a name at Unity. I got the slide from a bulk purchase. They earned a reputation because responsiveness and great customer support. I'll try to find out who did the leg work and try to get a name. They deserve credit.
I mentioned fogging because of an experience I had...
Love Unity, great bunch of folks. Tried their product. Had to take a hot knife to my safariland so it would holster. Between a few buddies and myself we tried a few companies. Tried just about all options. Dovetail mount, screw mount, recessed mount, rears in front, rears in back. Took a vote...
I've used the set up with suppressor sights. We tried them, they have a tendency to snag. Plus the taller sights have trouble in the sight channels of most kydex holsters. Excess rub in the channel and problems ripping front sights off. Have gone back to standard height. Matter of fact the only...
I've watched a few buds of mine switch to dots on their pistols. They provide the same advantages as having dots on your rifle. Dot on target, squeeze trigger. They swear by it. So do many open class shooters.
But what I preach, is your pistol, is that one weapon you only pull out when your...
Trying to avoid controversy as a new guy but i can't in good conscious let this one go. New to the forum and reading old posts. I'm passionate about shooting and hope I can pass on some pearls of wisdom, hopefully gaining wisdom along the way. That being said.
Iron sights are the basis for a...
