Small Calibers for Concealed Carry, Everyday Carry, and Backup Guns

Smaller calibers deserve some respect. When actually compared head-to-head with the real-life performance of calibers beginning with 9mm and up, the performance statistics generally demonstrate comparable, or even superior, rates of effectiveness for the small calibers. It makes sense. Smaller caliber handguns are more universally manageable, there’s generally less recoil, and often less noise, making […]

In Defense of the Venerable .45 ACP for Everyday Carry

A few years ago the FBI released a report on their decision to adopt 9mm sidearms except for those chambered for .40 S&W and .45 ACP ammo. The decision was justified based on the development of “hotter” 9mm ammo, like +P loads, which make penetration and wound channels similar to larger calibers. And for their […]

In Defense of an Alternative Firearm Defense Duo

If you ask 50 firearm enthusiasts what the best caliber for an everyday carry (EDC) and backup gun (BUG) is, you’ll likely get several different answers. Everyone has their preferred firearm and their reasons for them. But it’s important to clarify that it’s certainly not just a matter of preference. There will always be the […]

A Closer Look at the Ultra-Versatile .300 AAC Blackout and Why the Buzz Is True

The .300 AAC Blackout has increasingly become established as the alternative caliber for the AR-15. With the exception of the forever-popular .22LR, it’s very likely that more people are shooting .300 AAC Blackout from AR-15s than anything but the .223 Remington. It’s not like there aren’t other excellent calibers for the AR-15 platform that remain […]

Debunking Some Common Handgun Defense Myths

There are some beliefs and misapprehensions held by people, sometimes large groups of people, that defy explanation. It’s not clear where these myths came from, why anyone even considers them, much less actively believes them, or why they’re still around. Then there are the myths that, while not true (being myths), people can’t really be […]

Choosing the Best Defensive Handgun for You

There are a lot of passionate gun enthusiasts out there with a lot of passionate opinions. Those opinions are often based mainly on someone’s personal experience and preferences. Sometimes they’re helpful and informative, and sometimes they’re inaccurate and uninformed assumptions that sound helpful and informative. That’s why when it comes to choosing the right defensive […]

Practical Strategies and Effective Training for Firearm Defense

All too often, there’s an impression, conscious or not, among those who own or carry a firearm that by virtue of owning a gun they have become safer. However, a firearm is a tool, and like any other tool, attempting to use it without the appropriate training and familiarity can result in injury or worse. […]

The .300 AAC Blackout: Overrated Hype or AR Superstar?

Being concerned about a popular cartridge just being a fad makes sense. Investing in a firearm and the ammunition to feed it isn’t exactly cheap. And the last thing you want is to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a new piece of hardware that you come to recognize is far less effective […]

Four of the Most Iconic 9mm Pistols in History

Based on comparative sales numbers for handgun ammunition, 9mm ammo, the Luger 9×19 Parabellum, is far and away the all-time champion. Excepting the (entirely understandable) personal preferences some shooters have for .45 ACP ammo, .380 ACP, 10mm, etc., the 9mm being crowned a heavyweight champion makes sense. Particularly with the introduction of P+ loads, the […]

The Pros and Cons of the Trunk Gun

First off, for the unfamiliar, a quick overview of what a “trunk gun” is: Trunk guns are always long guns and almost always rifles. Even if you kept a Desert Eagle .50 AE in your trunk, all the time, it would never graduate to trunk gun. It would forever remain just a gun in your […]
