Back in February I wrote a post about being “out” as a gun owner, and how it’s been pretty awesome for me. Late last week a friend told me that I should introduce myself to a new guy at work, just saying “You guys would probably get along really well.” Being the “out” gun guy/gunblogger at work, that comment could only mean one thing: new guy likes guns. Today we crossed paths, and I grabbed him …

Fantastic video that really gets the point across regarding suppressors. Share the video, it does a good job showing what suppressors really do and in a way that’s easy to understand. I dig it. Now I want a suppressor even more.

WBTV is reporting that a Concord, NC police officer shot himself in the lower calf while training at the range yesterday. The article vaguely mentions that the incident happened while the officer was holstering his pistol. Just a quick reminder that there’s no need to race the pistol back into the holster. When training, the clock has stopped before its time to reholster, and if you’re involved in a defensive shooting, I don’t think it …

Like… nearly 50% off just because you’re a USPSA member. Pretty cool, although the guns on the list aren’t the greatest for USPSA, unless you want to shoot Singlestack. Either way, it’s cool of Remington to do it, maybe once production gets scaled up on the re-branded Para stuff they’ll have some deals on some doublestack 2011’s or something so I can get a Limited pistol… hint hint… Full details here. Pricing list here.

So the episode of the Practical Pistol Show with Ben and I is up. It’s got some naughty language in it, so if you’re easily offended by such things, you should harden up and watch it anyways.

Man or woman, if you don’t read Cornered Cat, you’re wrong.

Last week I shot the H2O Fowl Farms Adam Ginette Memorial IDPA match with my Glock 19 from t-shirt concealment. I shot the match the way I actually carry. Glock 19 (that’s basically factory stock other than sights and a grip plug) a Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster, and a cheap mag pouch that I’ve had forever. Discounting the IDPA rules violations I had a great match. I shot fast, got my hits, and even had …

This afternoon Ben Stoeger invited us on the Practical Pistol Show, to talk a little more about the Anti-Competition Competitors topic that we talked about in Episode 130 of podcast. I’m not totally sure when it’ll air, but it will be on Ben’s YouTube page when it does air.  

For several years now, I’ve been pretty outspoken about some of the changes that need to be made surrounding NC concealed carry law, and one of the things that I’ve always thought needed to be changed was that NC law did not allow the issuance of concealed handgun permits to people who are non US citizens. On the surface this seems logical, until you realize that there are many people living among us citizens who …

Crusing Instagram this afternoon I came across this video from @MHC_LEO of a stage from his first IDPA match: Look how shot up those barrels are! Here’s what @MHC_LEO said when I asked him about it “@triangletactical they are like razor blades. My arms and knuckles literally looked like I fought a wildcat.” I’m suddenly a lot more thankful for the match directors around here that swap them out when they get shot up. I …
