I just saw this over on The Firearm Blog, there is a picture floating around that is supposedly a teaser ad for a Glock 42, teasing a small pistol. The picture quality is pretty low, and I’m not able to find the same thing on either Glock.com or the Glock’s social network id.glock.com so I’m not sure if it’s legit or not. I will tell you this: If it’s a singlestack 9mm, I’ll sell a …

A couple weeks ago I was notified about an upcoming event that was being held by the NCSU Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. Basically, they are inviting students to come learn about gun safety in a class held on campus, and then we will drive to a farm where they will be able to fire a gun and learn a little more. Here’s some more info on the event from the NCSU Technician. We’ll …

Officer Ermis seemed to react negatively when Mr. Grisham appeared to adjust his rifle after the officer let go of it, which set this whole thing in motion. Personally, right at the beginning, I think Officer Ermis was a quick to pull his pistol, and he turned on the “asshole” attitude prematurely which seemed to fuel Mr. Grisham’s reaction. I’m not super familiar with all of the open carry intricacies in Texas, but it should …

Ok, so this isn’t totally off topic being that I’m a podcaster, but I love podcasts. Yesterday I logged into my feedly app on my phone, and realized that I hadn’t logged in and read any of my favorite blogs in almost a month. I guess I just don’t have a lot of time to read blogs and forums these days, but I can tell you that I’m 100% up to date with all of …

This weeks podcast will be delayed a few hours. It’s all recorded, but Ben and I ended up spending a lot of time working on a different topic before we hit record, and then changing the topic at the last minute to something else. In light of this, I ran out of time to edit the episode. I’ll have it up sometime Monday night after the Wake Co. Action Pistol Match.

This week on the blog, we’ll be talking about all of the things we have always wanted to talk about that dont really fit with our normal topics. You can expect all sorts of manly things like whiskey, paleo, auto repair, and who knows what else we’ll come up with. Stick around, and tell your friends, it should be a fun week!

WRAL has a breaking story about a child in Fayetteville, NC who died this morning after shooting himself with a gun that had been stored on top of a refrigerator in their home. Please people, I beg you to lock up your guns. If you have children, you can’t just hide things and expect that your kids won’t get I to them. Small kids are inquisitive, and they notice things. Certainly there are a lot …

I saw that RECOIL posted this watch band velcro patch thing on their Facebook page today, and all I could do was shake my head. IN AGREEMENT! Why aren’t we tacti-accessorizing our watch bands like operators who operate operationally? I spent a lot of time working on this modular load bearing carry sysrem, so try to follow along: First: Velcro We have to have velcro, and we have to have patches to stick to that …

Just a heads up: YouTube is working on integrating themselves with Google+, and all sorts of odd things are happening in the transition. I’ve had a personal YouTube account for several years, and when I started Triangle Tactical, I started a channel just for the website. Well, during this YouTube/Google+ integration I somehow wound up with two Triangle Tactical accounts, and two personal accounts. I tell you all of this because it seems that some …

The folks over at the “Campaign To Unload” on Facebook have taken the derp to a whole new level. I guess technically they are correct, it was downloaded 100,000+ times, and it isn’t detectable by a metal detector. It’s technically a “gun” as defined by the BATFE too. Of course they are ignoring that in order to make the plastic lower into something that is actually a weapon would require about 5lbs of steel, which …
