Rather than try to explain it all in text, I went ahead and shot this quick video explaining it. Say what you will about the jackboot thuggery of the TSA, but they were very professional, and easy going when I checked my bag with them both times. Make sure you check with your airline, and the TSA before flying with a firearm to make sure you follow all of the policies and procedures. TSA Website …

Later this week I will be doing an interview with John Boyette of Trace Armory Group, concerning some of the new things they will be doing. Most of the old Trace Armory Group curriculum will be moving under a new name, and the TAG will be moving on to some bigger and better things. Make sure you stop by in a couple days to find out all the details that Mr. Boyette will be releasing. …

I’ve been working with Kydex for a while now, and from time to time I help out a friend and make a holster, or magazine pouch, or something for them. I don’t do it as a business (filling orders sucks) however, its a lot of fun, and once you have all the tools, you can really save a lot of money on holsters if you buy new guns a lot. Where to get it? I …

When it comes to compact concealed carry pistols, nobody seems to have got it 100% right just yet. I carry a Glock 19 all the time, because I have yet to find a small 9mm pistol that fits all of my criteria. S&W got really close with the new Shield, and I thought it was going to be a winner, but they had to add the teeny, tiny, little safety that I have doubts I …

I got in line at the Dixie gun show at the Raleigh fairgrounds today with the intention of being one of the first in line, as I usually am. I arrived at about 8:05am, 55 minutes before the show opens at 9:00, and there were already about 100 people in front of me in line. Once we got in, I went straight over to the EAR-Inc booth, and had Mr. Lenny Khan install some sound …

I purchased a CR Speed belt for competition shooting about a year ago, and I have found it to be one of my favorite pieces of gear for shooting matches. This belt solves several problems that shooters run into when attempting to add all sorts of gear around their waist for 3-gun competitions, having to work around buckles, and belt loops. The CR Speed belt does not have a buckle, and it is really 2 …

I’ve got a handful of Glock pistols, all of which wear some sort of aftermarket sights. For a couple years now, I have been hammering them in with a framing hammer, and a brass punch. It actually works quite well for getting them into the dovetail, however for fine tuning the sights at the range, it can be a pain. I was home visiting my parents this last week, and I had the opportunity to …

I purchased a pair of Howard Leight Impact Sport Ear Muffs after looking for some budget oriented electronic ear-pro in September 2010. These earmuffs came highly recommended from several different websites, so I decided to give them a try. These muffs offered several things I wanted, the first being a low profile muff, that does not get in the way when shooting long guns. At the time I was shooting a lot of sporting clays, …

I’m on vacation in Northern Michigan right now, and heard about this match from the Michigan Gun Owners web forum. It was just up the road from my home town, so we decided to swing by and see what it was all about. This was basically an action rifle type shooting match just like any other, except these guys brought out all of their full-auto machine guns to shoot with. Sheridan Arms from Saginaw, MI …

I’m on vacation right now in Northern Michigan, and my Dad and I decided to make a trip over to Shooters Range in Grawn. If you are trying to find this place, know that Google navigation will not get you there, however, the map on their website is correct. Once we found the range, I was already impressed with the outside appearance, and size of the building. Shooters website says they offer both an indoor …
