    I myself have reached the point of does it even matter and it’s hard but worst case it doesn’t hurt. Best case your vote helps or changes the tide. So don’t let apathy win the day. Go vote.

    The HK45C A Jack Who Works Many Trades

    So we are on the cusp of 2020. Flying cars are surly just around the corner and itty bitty 9mm striker fired guns are all the rage. Seems like a perfect time for me to talk about a fairly big, low capacity, anachronistic, hammer fired monstrosity from a bygone era. So the above may have a...

    My in-laws like “cute” gifts. :(. So recently they got me a cheap plastic toy gun/bottle opener because I like beer and guns. Well they are in town so I pulled it out to be polite. So I am sitting here drinking beer that I have opened with this thing and I realize OH MY GOD AM I A GUN NUT...

    So way back in a simpler time when cell phones didn't have camera's and we were all worried our toasters would short out and cause nuclear war I picked up the quintessential truck gun. That year was 1999. I was poor, the assault weapon ban was in full effect and I wanted an inexpensive large...

    So I have been spending time teaching my daughter to shoot and I realize that sometime in the future we will eventually transition to handguns and I thought to myself, “Self, you wouldn’t be a loving and responsible parent if you were not to have a suppressed pistol to ease her into shooting...

    Something Else To Think About When Choosing Your Self Defense Ammunition

    So whenever I am shaking down a new gun I like to run a mix of ball weights and of course some defensive ammunition. I have pretty much settled on Gold Dots and HST as my go to defensive ammo so that is generally what I run in my testing phase. Today however I was cleaning out some old stocks...

    So I was sitting around the other day musing as I am to do from time to time and I got to thinking about all the people who ask me for advice regarding firearm choices.

    I am gun guy. Not a weapon guy. So take this question with that in mind. I have lots of tactical Tupperware and all of it extremely well made and durable. It shoots well and provides a myriad of advantages as far as capacity, weight, maintenance etc. all of these things are for all practical...

    Dave has been gone awhile so I thought I would pass on his sage advice to all in his honor

    So Dave spent a lot of time, for those who don't know, fielding questions about what products to upgrade a given shotgun with. His answer was almost invariably the following and makes so much sense no matter what you shoot, so in his honor I offer up...... What should you buy or add to your...

    How About Another Useless Toy Review.....HW75 This Time

    I am a bit of a shooters, shooter so to speak. IF it has a trigger and expels a projectile I probably enjoy it. Well except for the friggin Beretta Tomcat I would have more luck throwing that at a target to hit it vs. shooting but I digress. Like I said I like to shoot damn near anything. I...

    And Now For Something Completely Different HW45 Review.....

    That wasn't a typo so for everybody looking for a sexy HK45 review.....move along, nothing to see here. I got to thinking the other day how much my .22LR shooting has been curtailed not by the much maligned late unpleasantness but frankly due to my own design. You see much of my .22 itch is...

    HK P30 Initial Impressons / Review or Welcome to 2009 :)

    So I recently picked up an HK P30 in 9mm because I had magazines left over from when I sold my VP9 and selling the magazines or just keeping them in rotation with my P2000's made entirely too much financial sense so I bought a gun, as I am to do. :D First and foremost let me say that I sold...

    So like most folks on a firearms enthusiast site I have a great number of firearms and you know what I like the act of shooting.
