One of the more popular search terms that brings people to Triangle Tactical is “How to shoot professionally” or some variation of that phrase. A lot of people seem to have an idea that it’s fairly easy to become a professional (i.e. paid a salary by a company in the industry because you’re an awesome shooter/spokesman) but that isn’t really the case. I probably get more people sent to this website using that search term …

Am I the only person that has went back to a doublestack “wonder 9” for CCW after hearing about the recent al qaeda ISIS threats to behead people in the streets, and the Sydney siege incident where people were held hostage in a cafe until it was stormed by police? There’s something much more comforting about having 16 rounds on my hip, with 15 more in a reload than there is with my previous 8 …

(Naughty language warning) Here’s a video I found that shows the importance of being aware of the height of your optic above the bore line: Post by Buffalo Arms Trading LLC. Height over bore seems simple enough, but it’s something that I see a lot of shooters struggle with at action rifle type matches. A lot of people will pull short range head shots down into the Charlie zone in the chest because they don’t …

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times that if I had to choose between carrying my knife and flashlight every day or my gun, I’d choose the knife and flashlight every time. I use my knife and flashlight every single day, and thankfully I’ve never had to use my gun. What say you? If you had to choose, which would it be?

On Christmas Eve (one of the busiest shopping days of the year) I found myself in a large retailer in the middle of the afternoon when the power went out. For about 60 seconds it was completely black in the building before the emergency lighting kicked on. When the lights went black I pulled out my Streamlight ProTac HL, double tapped the button to the 600 lumen mode and I lit up the entire main …

Found this on the Million Moms Against Gun Control Facebook page tonight: So, if Shannon is blocked from tweeting the NRA, but she also blocks pro-gun folks that disagree with her, where does that put us? Surely by her own logic, they can’t be winning…

Last year I made one new years resolution, and I borked it right out of the gate. (I resolved to see 199 on the scale at some point during 2014, but as I’m writing this on December 26th, I still weigh the same 233 pounds as I did when I made the resolution.) Anyways, I want 2015 to be the year that I buckle down and focus on my shooting. 2014 was a rough year …

Yesterday was Christmas, and I’m sure many of you have boxes from gifts and all sorts of other trash generated from the big day that you want to get out of the house. I get that, but I beg you to take a couple minutes with a utility knife and cut the boxes up into small enough pieces that you can get them out of sight. As I was walking the dog tonight I saw …

According to Weddles Gun Shop on Facebook, that could be the case. We don’t have much to go on here, but this seems to be the first report on what may be coming at SHOT show next month from Glock. The Glock “MBS” is the “multiple backstrap system” on the Gen4 pistols, so I don’t really know what to think about “MOS”, but I suspect they may be right about some sort of optic ready …

Interesting thoughts from the folks at PJ Media. Are the anti-gun folks in Hollywood aware that they’re promoting our cause with shows like The Walking Dead where good guys use guns to save themselves?
