The Case for Kydex
Pictured above L-R: Walther PPQ in a Kaluban Cloak OWB holster, and Smith & Wesson Shield in a PHLster Skeleton holster. I’m a big fan of Kydex holsters. Don’t get me wrong, I think leather holsters can be great as well, I just generally prefer Kydex. If you haven’t yet discovered a love for thermoplastic […]
Loaded Handguns At Home
A topic that comes up often is whether or not to keep loaded weapons, particularly loaded handguns, in homes where there are children. The fear is that their kids may accidentally or on purpose find the loaded gun. I think this is a valid concern, but I also think there’s a simple solution to this problem. […]
Top Shot Tuesdays
One of my favorite shows on TV is Top Shot on the History Channel. The show is now in its fourth season, but if you’ve never seen it before, it’s a “reality TV style” shooting competition.

4 Rules of Gun Safety
If you’ve been shooting very long, no doubt you’ve seen some monkey at the gun range attempting to validate Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection by doing something stupid with a firearm. I know I sure have. Gun safety is everyone’s concern, and is the most important thing you can learn about firearms. If you’re a new shooter, […]
Gun Belts and Concealed Carry
A good belt is not the same as a good gun belt. If you’ve been carrying for very long, you’ve probably discovered that your belt can make or break your experience. The reason for this is simple: most belts aren’t stiff enough to hold the weight of a gun and holster, let alone the added […]
