as a Low Light Instructor i have to ask why people haven't thought about two lighting systems: (1) on the pistol and (2) in your support side hand? that allows you to work with two lights instead of one. yes as others have said you can turn them off when you need to. the hand held light is...

all of the State Representatives in Texas have been called by the Governor into special session to address a particular list of things that the Governor is making them work out. unfortunately, i doubt any any State Representative is going to return a call or email until they are done with...

interesting article. i personally have no problem with ATF enforcing existing laws in the books that they should be enforcing all along. from the news story: someone asked why the ATF is doing the work for the Mexican government. there are two reasons i can think of. (1) exporting...

i was told from a reliable source, some time ago (which now may have changed), that the two most popular pistols going south of the border are a Glock 17 and a Beretta 92. they were supposedly the two most sought-after weapons. i dont really sell either one, and i dont own either one, so i...

i drew down on a guy a week ago but he ran like hell and i didnt have to plug him. he was subsequently arrested and put in jail.

a receiver, if sent from the manufacturer as only a receiver, is listed in its books as a "receiver only." otherwise if they wrote it in as a "rifle" then someone could buy the receiver, build up a rifle, and then return it to the manufacturer for warranty repair. they'd have to then provide a...
