I trained for 7 years in Shotkan Karate. I stopped and now have trained for 6 years in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My main focus is learning how to win a fight. Discipline, fitness, and the other stuff is important - however secondary. My problem is that I am reaching a point where I am bored. A...

I did a penetration test using the Magsafe .40 caliber load in my Glock 22 at 15 feet. I bought three 1/2" pieces of plywood and nailed them together with a 1" spacer in between them to simulate going through 3 solid barriers. I kind of expected the solid plywood to stop the round at the 2nd...

In my quest to find the ideal weapon for the next riot type scenario, I have been testing several ideas. I keep hearing about reports claiming the .223 is a good urban round. I took my AR to the range. I made a target with 6 plywood sheets spaced about 3 inches apart to simulate a solid...

In the people's republik, I can't legally carry my Glock 27. Last weekend, I went backpacking with my 7 year old in the Sierra Nevada mountains (National Park). I would not even consider not bringing my gun. At target, they have nice Samsonite camera cases for $9 that hold a Glock 27...

I hear alot about using a carbine for home defense. However, I really wonder if this would be a good idea? It seems to me that the most important characteristic of a home defense weapon would be to QUICKLY stop your attacker. Distances will be so close that even the slightest delay could cost...
