Inforce APL Shenanigans

I’ve been watching this whole situation play out on YouTube and Instagram for a couple days. Apparently if you put your weak hand index finger in the wrong place on the Inforce APL light when firing you can make it fly off the pistol when it recoils: The folks at Inforce are saying that the HighCapacityTV folks are using it incorrectly, and shows a different way of activating and using the light to keep it …

I Hate This Bar…

News broke yesterday afternoon that country singer Toby Keith has begun posting some of his signature restaurants with “no guns” signage (specifically the newest one that just opened in northern Virginia). Considering the subject matter of many of Keith’s songs, this seems rather hypocritical. What’s more interesting though is that there seems to be a good chance that we could see one of Keith’s restaurants right here in the Triangle after the new Bass Pro …

Glock 42 Measurements Compared to Other Pistols

Recently I wrote about a couple of pictures that had been posted over on the Boomershooter forum from a magazine of what appears the be the rumored Glock 42. One of the pictures contained some dimensions of the pistol, which is a really big deal for us following this story. Previously I had tried to overlay the outline of the Glock 42 from the ad over a picture of a Glock 26, but it appears …

Well that’s Disappointing, the Glock 42 is a .380ACP

Someone over at Boomershooter posted a thread with a magazine ad showing the Glock 42 as a .380ACP pocket pistol. Nice job Glock, you’re only about 3 years late to the party. This being said, I’ll probably still buy one. Will you? Anybody have any idea what magazine these ads might have come from? Want to see how the Glock 42 stacks up against other popular concealed carry pistols? Check it out… For more updates …

Maintaining the Initiative

Military strategists have a term for who in a conflict is acting, and who is reacting, who is currently in control of the conflict, and they call this the initiative. If you have the initiative, you are choosing what you want to do; if you’ve lost it, then you are often limited to reacting to your opponent’s actions until you can enact a reversal and take it back. The initiative is not the same as winning, but …

Winchester’s New 3-Gun Ammo isn’t that Bad

Iain Harrison from Recoil had a bit to say about the new “Win3Gun” ammo from Winchester, but I don’t think the ammo is as bad as Iain says it is. I think it’s just marketed poorly. The new 9mm ammo is 140pf with a 147gr bullet. They mention that it’s made to burn clean so that it doesn’t clog ports in pistols. Guess what? People shooting open guns with ports shoot lightweight bullets, and people …

Facebook “NC Gun Feed”

If you follow Triangle Tactical on Facebook, you need to follow the new “NC Gun Feed” on Facebook. Facebook is severely limiting our reach, and wanting us to pay them to show our posts to people who have already liked our page. Even if you like our page, you probably are only seeing about half of less of what we post. To get around this, I’ve created an NC Gun Feed on Facebook, which once …

Walking the Path of Mastery: Putting on the White Belt

Another martial arts concept from George Leonard’s Mastery is the symbol, borrowed from the dojo, of consciously accepting your student status, opening yourself to be enlightened and putting on the white belt of the novice. There may came a day when you will earn another belt in your particular discipline, but when beginning something anew, you must always be willing to put on the white belt. The beauty of the white belt is that it shields …

Why I did what I did with the Glock 42 Picture

My picture of the Glock 42 ad overlaid with a picture of a Glock 26 has made its way around the internet and been linked to on a lot of webforums and blogs over the past couple of weeks. I’ve received a lot of feedback from people telling me that when they put their Zippo lighter up against a Glock 26, the lighter is much smaller than it appears in the picture, and that makes …
