Ultimate Shield Project: Apex Duty Carry Trigger

This is part one in a series of posts on turning a run of the mill S&W M&P Shield into the ultimate concealed carry pistol. The first thing that needed to be addressed with the Shield 9mm was the trigger.

Cabelas has come out in recent months as a huge advocate for the shooting sports, as well as hunting and fishing. I’ve …

Concealed Carry and the NC State Fair

It seems that there is a debate brewing about whether or not the North Carolina Department of Agriculture has the authority to post “No Weapons” signs at the North Carolina State Fair that is going on right now.
