I’ve seen it stated repeatedly that the NC Sheriffs’ Association’s opposition to removing the Pistol Purchase Permit system is about revenue for the department. I find this claim difficult to believe because they derive so very little money from the permits, especially compared to the manpower required to actually run the system. To put it in perspective, it costs about the same to get a PPP requiring a state-level background check and a Federal NICS …

It seems that more and more I’m seeing concealed carry type pistols being marketed as “double strike capable”, or having the ability to strike the same cardridge a second time with just another pull of the trigger. My question is, is this whole double strike capable thing just a marketing gimmick for traditional double action pistols that have always had this capability, or is double strike capability something that is a viable option for a …

I just saw this hitting the twittersphere thanks to WeaponBlog. It appears that Defense Distributed has had all of their files pulled offline at the request of the Dept. of Defense. As you can see, the website at DefCad has a banner across the top of the site explaining that the files have been removed. What’s crazy about this, is that the files from DefCad have been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times, and taking …

It might be an oversimplification to say that steel is for speed and paper is for accuracy, but it’s close enough that I’ll call it a rule of thumb. When you go to the range to train, which is as simple as having a goal aside from “shoot 100 rounds”, part of figuring out how to achieve that goal is working on the right skills on the right types of targets. Now, most of us …

I got an email today from a lifelong family friend who I’ve recently been introducing to shooting, in part sparked by his confessed ignorance about guns, their operation and role in society. I’ve managed to get him and his wife hooked, but received an email today scheduling another shooting trip, and lamenting, in part: I have to admit I’m feeling a bit frustrated by the fact that we seem to have chosen the worst possible …

As if you didn’t already know that Magpul is an awesome company with their threats to pack up and leave Colorado if there is a ban on “high capacity” magazines, this evening they posted the following message on the Magpul Facebook Page: We are proud to announce that within a matter of days we will be going live with a new program. Due to a bill currently moving through the Colorado legislature, there is the …

If you are looking for a place to shoot today (12/29) or tomorrow (12/30) you should check out the ZSA Zombiefest at Range 37psr in Bunnlevel, NC. They are running an all steel match both days. $5 per run through the stage, with all proceeds going to the Green Beret Foundation. Pistols, pistol caliber carbines, and shotguns are all welcome, and the stage is 18 targets. I’m going to try to make it down tomorrow …

This week I introduced Geocaching, and talked a bit about the different containers you may be looking for when trying to locate a cache. This morning I geared up, and headed out to one of my favorite places in the triangle, and hid a Geocache with some Triangle Tactical swag in it. You can find the coordinates to the cache here: GC1V46Z Geocaching.com You are looking for a .30cal Ammo can, that I may or …
