I came across this brass while reloading the other day. Headstamp reads “IMT 9mm Luger”. You’ll notice on the cut out piece of brass that there’s a ridge on the inside of the case where the brass gets thicker, as opposed to normal brass that thickens gradually down the length of the case. The trouble I ran into with this stuff was when running it into the crimp die, sometimes they would stick. They would …

Tonight I came across this picture on Facebook: I know the picture is a little hard to read, here’s what it says: “Orange Hats for Men, based in Lake Odessa, Michigan, is a club for men who agree not to be armed in public. There are no fees or dues to belong, just always be polite Policemen in the public are armed, as they should be. However Politemen are not armed out in the public, …

Great minds must think alike, the NRA released this video just a couple days after we recorded Episode 94 of the podcast on weapon mounted lights. (Video link for Email/RSS Readers) How long before someone makes a momentary activation weapon light small enough for concealed carry? Want.

Yes, that TWANGnBANG: Post by TWANGnBANG. I think he’s absolutely right. The “smart” gun maker has already been rejected by the commercial gun market in the US, and I don’t think there’s a police department anywhere in the country that would seriously consider arming their officers with this thing. In fact, in every circumstance that I’ve come across where a bill has been introduced or talked about to make smart guns the law, law enforcement …

The folks at Bearing Arms put up a blog post tonight about a proposal in Texas that would allow alcohol sales at Gun Shows in the state. My first thought was  “bad idea”, but then I read the rules: Under the proposal, any show allowing alcohol would have to meet the following criteria: No live ammunition sales. All guns must be disabled. Customers may not leave with purchased alcohol. No live ammo sales at a …

From Reddit: “Cousin just posted this from his facebook, guy tried to kick in his door only to be met with an ar-15 on the other side. He’s keeping him under citizens arrest till the cops arrive.” I have two things to say about this: Good on the homeowner for being armed and willing to protect himself. How far downhill has our society slid that when someone is in fear for his life, his first …

This morning I pulled my car up to the range, and opened the door. Just as I was about to step out a couple casings on the ground caught my eye. For a split second I thought they were some exotic bottleneck cartridge, then realized, no, someone just shot a magazine of .40S&W through their .45ACP pistol.

I get a lot of questions about why I recommend certain singlestack 9mm concealed carry pistols and not others. Rather than type up a big long blog post, I figured I’d do something a little different and fire up the camera gear and do a video on the singlestack 9’s in my life, and why I like them. It basically comes down to a set of criteria that I’ve mentioned a few times: – 7+1 …

Yesterday Ben wrote a blog post in response to my excitement about the YouTube video of Jerry Miculek shooting and hitting a target at 1000 yards with a revolver. Ben stated that these types of videos aren’t the best way to bring people into the shooting sports because they make good marksmanship look unobtainable, and that they make luck look like skill. I don’t disagree on the latter point, to an extent. When only one …

According to a recently published video from Guns.com where they interviewed Lenny MaGill from Glockstore.com, MaGill says “I do hear that Glock’s coming out with a 9mm singlestack this year.” (Video Link for Email/RSS Readers) Yeah, even with the Springfield XDs 9mm, and the new S&W Shield no-safety, I’m still really wanting a single stack 9mm Glock. I think we all know it’s inevitable at this point, but it’s encouraging to hear from someone in …
