    HK 45 or HK USP 45

    I like the USP better for sure. Reason? I am a lefty and like the right side of the gun clean of any levers I might hit with my thumbs. The USP is better than the HK45 in this regard due to the HK45s long slide lock/ slide release levers on both sides.

    Tactical Reloads: The Whens and Whys

    Complex and fine motor skills are severely hampered in life or death situations, such as gunfights. With this in mind, I don't want to have two magazines in one hand at any time when I am trying to reload. That's just me. YMMV

    Tactical Reloads: The Whens and Whys

    I believe the best way to do a tactical mag change is to let the partial drop free and get the fresh one in the gun faster. Then, if you have time, pick up the partial with a fully loaded pistol in hand while you're doing it. It just seems more tactically sound than juggling mags in one hand.

    Tactical Reloads: The Whens and Whys

    There can be no doubt that most citizens will never engage in prolonged gun battles (we can hope). I guess I should have prefaced the post with the fact that such matters are typically only of potential relevance to military and law enforcement personnel. However, I guess it is better to think...

    Tactical Reloads: The Whens and Whys

    There is often a great deal of discussion/ training regarding the "HOWS" of Tactical Reloads, but rarely a thorough consideration of the "WHENS" and "WHYS" of tactical reloads. Of course, the whens and whys are often intimately connected when it comes to a gunfight scenario. I have often heard...

    Article: Trump’s ATF Wants to Slash Gun Regs, Defend Second Amendment

    Well, it is about time the Executive Branch starts focusing on the criminals and not on the means by which the law abiding citizens defend against them!

    S&W model 60 why no love?

    Model 60s are expensive compared with other options With Airweights and LCRs being able to be found for about half the price of the 60, it seems that there are better options from an economic standpoint. I LOVE the Model 60 I had for a while. May get another one eventually, but the price...

    Name the paddle holster

    This paddle holster (see pic below) was worn by Mel Gibson in the movie "Edge of Darkness" to carry his GLOCK 23. Can anyone name the make/ model? That is your challenge for the day! Vanguard.45

    Stephen Camp dead at 59

    A huge loss to the shooting world As many have said, he came across, first and foremost, as a gentleman eager to share his knowledge and wisdom gained from a lifetime of learning! I bought several BHPs as a result of his reasoned arguments in their favor! Thanks, Mr. Camp, for your...
