Prepare – Practice – Prevail
Following some simple preparation suggestions can mean the difference between passing and failing your firearms qualification live fire test. Many people are under the impression that they can shoot pretty well and don’t need to practice before the live fire qualification test. “I can wing it” sort of thing (no pun intended). This is […]
The Sleeper?
Please don’t judge this gun choice before you read the article. This morning I did a one on one instruction for multi-state CCW licenses. Only one gun to list. A woman, senior type. She followed me into the range and then she hopped in my Jeep and we went uphill to the Nest. […]
Your Mileage May Vary
As promised this is part 2 of maybe 3 parts. Not sure of the number of parts due to the fact I actually enjoyed doing this testing, and I learned quite a lot. Went to the range with my new FBI 10% gelatin blocks the other day. I always wanted to do this testing […]

Face Lift For An Old Friend
After 43 years in law enforcement I’ve purchased my share of equipment. Probably tens of thousands of dollars worth I’m sure. I’ve got the usual boxes of gear (and scrapbooks) in the attic, public storage and the garage. I could fill a museum with it, especially the holsters, flashlights, knives and guns. If I don’t […]
