Winning the fight, but getting killed by your own gun.
Article by: William G. By now, you have figured out I am a little different. I actually like to clean guns. Probably because I have a phobia of dirty guns. Always hated the idea of having my own gun kill me in a gunfight because I didn’t properly maintain it. When I was 12, I Continue reading

Somewhat Deep Thoughts (Maybe?)
Article by: William G. Does the caliber of the gun matter? Yes, and no. When I was younger, I had no problem shooting thousands of rounds a week, for weeks at a time with a 45 Auto.

Let There Be Light
More thoughts on low light firearms training….. Article by: William G. Low Light and adverse light shooting problems are similar, but different. This will primarily be about low light aspects.

Have a Plan
Article By: Leo H. So. Here we are. My next installment. So much for the promise to myself to write something every month. My new promise is to finish… sometime.

Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged
Article by: William G. My, my, my, my. What a wicked web we weave, when at first weave a wicked web. So there I was, in front of the entire command staff of a multi thousand man agency, and an observer from a literal Tier One Counter Terrorist Unit. I was called in do perform Continue reading
