    My "vehicle" handgun

    Sights - or No Sights - which is best??

    There seems to be two different schools of thought when it comes to the use – or lack of use – of sights when it comes to handguns. One group states that unless you use the sights – you won’t hit what you want to hit. This group is known as “Front Sight” shooters. Note that this term has...

    My review of the new "Liger" belt from MAXPEDITION

    I received a “Liger” gun belt from Tim @ Maxpedition just about a month ago. Tim sent it to me to T&E. I was initially very skeptical about its use as a CCW belt after viewing pictures of it. I voiced my opinion that I thought the buckle was too unconventional looking to avoid attracting...
