What is the right trigger?
Article by: William G. I have chased the ultimate trigger, hunted for that thing for decades. Then one day I comprehended that a really good trigger for shooting was not the best trigger for managing problems in a normal society, and that several triggers could live in harmony with each other. Jeff Cooper prescribed a… Continue reading

What Zero is Right for You?
Article by: William G. This article will focus on the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge that is still the predominate round of CONUS LE. If you use a 6.8, 300 Black Out, a 7.62x39mm, a 30-30, or a 7.62x51mm NATO, I am not the one to talk to about zero’s for those (except the 7.62×51, but I… Continue reading

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

These are a few of my favorite things…….
Article by: William G. I meant to get to this in November, but time got away from me. Nothing new, I am on my own time that doesn’t seem to match up with anyone else’s schedule……. Personal weapons and accoutrements are, and should be, a very personal preference. One man’s treasure is another man’s ordinary,… 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. Breaking my hand and wrist several times, arthritis, tendonitis, etc. has made shooting that much with that caliber… Continue reading

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. This is a good a place as any to readdress Jeff Cooper’s 4 safety rules: All guns are always loaded. Check them when you pick… Continue reading

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

Evolving is Hard
Article By: William G. If I had it my way, Patrol would be carrying heavy barreled Smith and Wesson Model 10 revolvers loaded with Super Vel and using Kel Lights, and SWAT would be carrying 1911’s loaded with hardball, and have Laser Products 6P’s (because SWAT is elite, and better, and has to have better… Continue reading

How Fast is Too Fast?
Article by: William G. Speed kills? Sometimes. Going too fast can mean missing the target completely, shooting an aggressor that ceased being a threat two shots ago because you were going too fast, shooting too soon, mistaken identity, on and on. Going too slow can get you, your partner, or an uninvolved party killed. Where… Continue reading
