I have been accused of being a “Fudd,” here and othe places, because of my taste in firearms and because I don’t always say nice things about black guns. Or something like that. Admittedly, I like classic things a bit more. Old Smith & Wesson autos, C3 Corvettes, Les Paul guitars and Marshall amplifiers. But […]
We have all heard that stopping power doesn’t exist and for all intents and purposes, it doesn’t. The force with which a bullet hits the target is equal to the force that’s directed back into the shooter. A far smarter guy than any of us (Isaac Newton) figured that one out. He went on to develop […]
Some of you might have noticed ads on Facebook and other social media networks advertising rather simple Kydex gear at some very reasonable prices. Amazon has a bevy of them as well. Are any of them any good? Are they better than some other entry-level, but otherwise decent holsters that may command a little more […]
It’s easy to love most expensive guns.

Seven members of a family are dead, three adults and four children in what appears to have been a murder-suicide. What exactly happened may never be known. But it’s been claimed by […]
Certain things are a tradition for good reason. Turkey dinners at Thanksgiving, because it’s right around hunting season. Thanksgiving day football games, so you have something to yell at besides your relatives. Some things maybe were good traditions at one point, but maybe could stand to be retired. For instance, can we drop the act […]
Many shooters — this one among them — harbor a certain level of gun snobbery. We see anything too modern, anything too “tacticool” as a method of separating a lot of fools from their money. As we know, a lot of people have been separated from their money in short order for a whole bunch […]
The internet exists so that people can tell other people when they’re doing something wrong. Or that they’re doing is better than what everyone else has chosen to do. It seems that the more trivial the topic, the more heated the argument becomes. Case in point: the “controversy” over various types of extractors and their […]
