      Lawyers?

      I was going to attend law school, but somehow they found out my parents were married.

      Anyone hold the barrel of a semiautomatic pistol while it's shot?

      How about your thumb behind the slide?

      Detect Slide Lock by Feel

      If recognizing slide lock is a problem, shoot USPSA. If you have reached slide lock in USPSA, then you have probably already messed up given the extra time to reload from slide lock. The speed reload (live round still in chamber) is king in USPSA. However, if you shoot IDPA, then recognizing...

      How to deal with hangfires?

      In action shooting matches, competitors eat the time for stoppages and malfunctions. Just about every competitor will immediately rack the slide and eject a round that fails to fire. So, possible hangfires are basically ignored. The gun remains pointed in a safe direction and about the worst...

      NRA CCW class? Thoughts

      So, the NRA's Training Division is going to have a course that has the W-word in the title? Amazing!

      How much training do you ACTUALLY need?

      I'm not sure classes are the answer, but I'm convinced being able to run the gun without having to think about running the gun is a critical skill. By not having to think about handling and firing the gun, you free your brain to focus on the situation and how to deal with it. If one wants the...

      NRA HQ range has banned steel jacket ammo

      My email to the NRA Range: Some questions on your recent ammo restriction policy regarding steel-jacketed projectiles: Why after operating the range for many years without a restriction on steel-jacketed projectiles do you believe such an ammunition restriction is now needed? Why have...

      I love Victorinox

      Victorinox is probably the best value in the knife market, and it has been so for a very long time.

      Green Ops Defensive Pistol I Clinic AAR

      Nice review. I noted with interest your comment about a recent change concerning allowable ammo at the NRA Indoor Range: "The class was held at the NRA HQ range. It’s modern, it’s indoors, and run very professionally. I shoot there fairly regularly, so it’s a pretty comfortable spot for...

      AAR: Rangemaster (Tom Givens) 3 Day Handgun Instructor class

      Nice review and congrats on the Top Gun Award. Despite being an old military guy, I've always thought Givens' civilian orientation and skills focus was/is smart. I think it's among the very best training available for the vast majority of us who are not active military, contractors required to...

      A new short classifier for IDPA?

      I think the only hold up is that IDPA has not yet configured their site to accept scores from this new pistol classifier. The 5x5 classifier is now on the IDPA "official" site. http://www.idpa.com/blog/post/2018/01/18/Important-Classifier-Information.aspx

      A new short classifier for IDPA?

      A new short classifier for IDPA I suspect that this may well be official soon - merely my speculation at this time though. Regardless, it's a great tool for someone to measure their handgun skill and it's easy to set up and run. Only 10 yards distance, no props and 25 rounds needed in addition...

      Two Squibs in about the same number of weeks

      I had a squib while shooting a steel match about four years ago. I was shooting factory ammo - American Eagle 9mm 147 grain FMJ that was purchased about two years prior. Apparently, this round never received a powder charge during its manufacture. It took a fair amount of force to knock the...

      accuracy training

      I'm a big fan of dry fire training. I do want to highlight a caution though. It's very easy to slip into the bad habit of not gripping the gun firmly during dry fire practice. If you are to be a good handgun shooter, you need to be able to fire multiple shots both quickly and accurately. This...
