I can't believe that someone didn't pick up on the Church logo before now. It has a sword right in it. Try to make a correlation between the sword from biblical times and the AR as the common man's sword of today. Metaphorically speaking, that quote that says if you do not have a sword, sell...

I think it would be foolish to discount MMA as a base for martial arts training. Having previously studied Kempo, TKD, Akido, Shotokan, Kobudo, etc. over the course of 15 or so years, nothing prepared me for actually fighting in an MMA situation. Yes it is not real life, but if you think about...

There are two apex kits, competition and duty. The competition is way light and probably shouldn't be on a carry piece. The duty kit is (as its name implies) much more suitable for duty and carry purposes. That said, either is fine. Carry what feels best for you carrying. Either is...

There is the one case where I believe that revolvers dominate over semis and that is pocket carry in a jacket. Make that a covered hammer revolver and you have the perfect retention shooting platform. This also solves the big heavy glove problem as you can largely keep your hands in your...

I also was disappointed by the show. The approach they take seems to limit future episodes. What I mean is that they choose a particular firearm for the title of the show, but then the show is about every other firearm remotely similar. What I mean is that the 1911 show was really more about...

All pistol and plinking 223 gets primed and loaded on the Hornady LnL AP. I've never had a problem with it. In fact, I like it so much that I will probably start using it to batch process and prime (still measure load and seat individually) the bigger rifle loads. The LnL AP priming systems...

I have a 930 spx and would definitely trust my life to it. Mine has been totally reliable, even with mixing light target loads and full power buckshot back and forth. I did this a few times with a full tube of all sort of random loads and that was proof enough for me. IMO, if it is for someone...

Also, Savage is making their 10 precision carbine in 300 BLK. You can get it in pretty much whatever platform you want now. Looks to be staying to me.

I've got a Blackhawk that I slugged and it came out as .4525. I haven't measured the throats on it. It is circa 70s mfg. What does that mean with respect to jacketed, lead or plated sizes? My understanding is that lead should be slightly larger than jacketed, is that true? When I did try to...

Two thoughts. First, Aikido, Jiujitsu or Judo would all be well suited to what you are looking for. If you are willing to put in some time to learn it, Aikido is probably the best suited to control the situation without hurting your opponent. That said, it is probably more difficult to learn...

Actually, in my (limited) 3 gun experience, shotgun is BY FAR the easiest to make hits with. Shooting at steel with a shotgun at the same range as with a handgun, the shotgun would always get the one hit knockdown and I personally am faster and more accurate with a (full stocked!) shotgun than...

Although it is not exactly what you are looking at, I love my 930 spx and have no problems with it with all different sorts of loads (target, 00, high/low brass, steel, 2 3/4 and 3, etc.) even when mixed together randomly. It will shoot as fast as I can, so no problems there. Now, I did clean...

H4350 is at the slow end for 150 grainers, true, but I just used it to load up some 125 gr bullets in my 30-06 (for fun) and I had two groups (non-consecutive) in my ladder around MOA (4 shots 100y). While you might get ultimately better accuracy with another powder, H4350 is just fine. If you...
