After almost 10 weeks, I finally have my Springfield XDs 9mm back in my hands! Check out the video below, all in all I’m pretty happy with the pistol after the recall, I was expecting a really awful trigger. One thing I noticed after I stopped filming: Before I sent the pistol off, I had blacked out the white dots in the rear sight; Springfield repainted them…

With all of the knife talk recently, I thought I’d finally get around to writing a review of my current EDC pocket knife, the Spyderco Delica 4 with the Emerson Wave feature. I’ve owned this knife for close to 4 years now, and it’s been a good companion during that time. It’s always a lot of fun to review an item that I’ve used extensively. Let’s have a closer look at what’s good, and what’s …

Just wanted to take a moment to thank all of the vets out there on this 11th day, of the 11th month. To those who have served, those currently serving, and those who have given their lives, thank you.

Here’s and interesting post from Sierra Bullets in response to the last lead smelter in the US closing. As it turns out there’s more to the story than the usual suspects would have you believe, and the closure isn’t expected to be all that big of a deal. The NY Daily News freaks out over guns for sale on Instagram. Honestly, looking at their examples, it looks like a seller using a creative medium for …

Apparently. Still no word from Springfield, but as of about 10:00AM this morning, it changed from “received” to “fixed” on the Springfieldrecall.com website. Hopefully I’ll have it back soon.

And it feels so good. Last night, Illegal Mayor Jackie Holcombe lost her attempt at reelection by 88 votes. Eighty eight votes. 88 votes is all it took to eliminate the Triangles most outspoken anti-gun Mayor, and out her out of a job. This is why it’s so important to get out the vote in local elections, your vote is much more powerful than it is in the big ones.

It’s time for me to buy some new clothes, as I’ve ungrew most every pair of pants I own. This, unfortunately, requires trying on clothes at the store. Today my bride and I made an impromptu stop at a clothing store, and I decided to try on some jeans. No big deal right? I didn’t think so either until I got into the fitting room, and realized I had a pistol in my waistband. I …

Tonight a pro-gun facebook page posted this picture without comment to their page. I quickly scanned it, and didn’t think much of it. I ended up scrolling past it again a couple of minutes later, and I gave it a closer look after I noticed that there were lots of comments asking where these cards could be purchased. As a gun blogger (I think I’ve achieved that status now?) I’m going to come out and …

I’m all hitched and stuff and I’m back to blogging! Just wanted to say thanks for all of the emails, we had a great time! I will say that I was unable to find a way to carry a firearm during the wedding, even though I tried! I wasn’t wearing a belt, and I don’t have a pocket holster for the Shield. I guess I should have bought an ankle rig…
