I’m not a big fan of the idea that this accessory or that one can make you a better shooter. There are slight performance variances that different gizmos and doohickeys can deliver, for sure. However, if you don’t know how to shoot in the first place, almost none of them are going to help you […]

Thinking of getting a concealed carry revolver? Don’t pay attention to the plastic pistol posse; revolvers are a proven handgun system and are still fully capable of saving your bacon.
