My buddy Ebbs from HausOfGuns.com recently wrote an article for Gun Nuts titled Go ahead, buy a Hi Point. In it, Ebbs poses the question as to whether buying a Hi-Point as a starter gun is a good idea or not. Hi-Point Handguns If you’re not familiar with Hi-Point Handguns, here’s the skinny: they are […]

A “general” category to put posts that do not fit anywhere else, so that random bloggers/commenters don’t whine about a post being in the wrong category.
Gear Shop Service Discount
Last week we launched the Monderno Gear Shop with t-shirts, patches and stickers. Coupon codes were at that point a little buggy, but we now have all of the problems sorted out (thanks to Ken M for all the help). Now that coupon codes are working correctly, we are excited to announce a 15% discount for […]
Gear Shop Live
We are excited to announce that our gear shop is now live! We currently have Monderno t-shirts, stickers and patches in stock, with more cool stuff coming soon. T-Shirts When we ordered t-shirts, we specified that they be printed on a US made shirt. When they were delivered, we discovered they were mistakenly printed on […]
Educating Criminals
Predictably, since the Aurora shooting, gun control has been thrust back into the forefront of the political debate fueled by the mainstream liars media. Most of you reading this already know gun control doesn’t work and is complete nonsense, so I won’t preach to the choir on that front. While gun control doesn’t work, there […]
Why I Bought a Glock
I’m not a Glock guy. I’ve never been a believer in Glock perfection. Over the years, I’ve shot quite a few Gen 2 and Gen 3 Glocks in various calibers, and while they all worked and shot great, I was never a fan of the grip angle or the ergonomics. For me, there were just […]
Your First Handgun
A question I get asked fairly often is what handgun do I recommend as a first, and potentially ONLY, handgun. Partly because I think this is an interesting debate, and partly because I’m lazy and want to have a post to refer people to in the future, I decided to put my thoughts together and […]
Appendix Carry Update
Several months back, I decided to give appendix carry a try. Many of you have asked how this is going, so I decided to post an update. Since trying and liking appendix carry, it’s been my primary carry position and I honestly don’t see that changing anytime soon. For me, carrying AIWB took some getting used […]
Lessons Learned from a Primary Gun Failure
As discussed in my Summer EDC post, ever since the thermometer got above 90 degrees here in Houston, I’ve been carrying my Smith & Wesson Shield 9. Some referred to this as “gunning down” for the summer. Perhaps they are right, but a small gun is pretty much a necessity for me in this heat, […]

The Truth About Texas Gun Laws
Regular readers of Monderno probably know that I live in Texas, but I haven’t always lived here. We moved here three years ago because of my wife’s job, and I can honestly say that I love most things about Texas. Really there’s a lot to love – the people first and foremost, the economy which […]
