    How do you calm yourself in high pressure?

    Understand the effects of stress first, learn to control your breathing, take the task at hand and play it through in your mind first if you have time. Persevere and remember others are depending on you.

    Guns/ammo pulled before election day

    I saw that here today in Central Texas. I don't mind them doing whatever they want with their guns and ammo, I however doubt Walmart feels the same about my guns and ammo. They don't call it China Mart for nothing.

    You Have No Idea Who You're Dealing With

    We used to have a Sergeant Major who was about the size of a average 14 year old kid, the Sergeant Major was at least 40 and maybe 135 lbs soaking wet. I believe he was from the Philippines. This was a pretty High Speed unit, right on the German border at the peak of the Cold War, lots of "Been...

    A felon tries to buy your gun

    Two minutes in to an email and this guy turns all drama on you? Lowball, insult and threaten? Just pull the plug on him, there is no need to discuss this with him, block his email and move on. Life is too short to deal with rabble.

    Glock 17 Gen 3 or Gen 4

    I own 3 Gen 3 Glocks, two 17's and a 26. I bought them when the Gen 4's were experiencing their initial teething pains with the BTF problems. I've fired thousands of round through each and they just fit me well. My wife, not a novice shooter but very new to handguns shot so well with mine that...

    do you even med kit bro?

    I keep a basic IFK in my range bag, a more advance kit in the truck and something in between those two in my BOB. I received some very good training in the Military, I would suppose a refresher wouldn't hurt. I will look for something local and get some more training, perhaps the Red Cross?

    Current lever action rifles

    While deployed I decided I wanted a Marlin for a project gun. My Brother found an early 336 and "SC" I believe. It had been been beat to heck, but when done it turned out so good that my Mom wanted it for her "House Gun."

    Shopping for an AR and Pistol help

    This is some sage advice. Sometimes "Good Enough" and "Great" are separated by a few hundred dollars. That few hundred dollars means much higher quality and reliability.

    NEW 2017 SAVAGE AR10

    I think that Savage has the potential to have a really great AR 10 style gun here. I'm anxious to see if they can really pull it off.

    Pocket Carry and Driving

    No, I don't believe so, but I understand your point. Being that it is a automatic transmission, I don't believe shifting would be an issue with a G-26 in my hand. I will give it a try tonight though. My greatest concern in these cases is getting in and getting out of the vehicle. Once the doors...

    Pocket Carry and Driving

    My Truck has a nice little pocket that is above my right knee as I sit in the Drivers seat. I bought a holster and covered the outside of it with Velcro, then did the same thing with Velcro inside that pocket. I transfer the gun from holster to holster as I get in and out. With some practice it...

    Opinions on USP .45.

    I have a H&K USPC in .45acp. That's a heck of a lot of gun in a little package. Its uber reliable and very comfortable to carry and points well for me. If I had a complaint it would be the magazine release, it takes a little getting used to.

    Never owned an AR before

    With a $700.00 budget, my advice would be to save a bit more money and buy a Colt. Colt has some great deals going on now at various places and you're only going to be spending $150-$200 more. That extra money is going to be worth it in the long run. I would also recommend Daniels Defense and...

    Booby Trap Bras (Concealed Knife or Pepper Spray)

    My Grandmother told me ladies used to carry hat pins and that a hat pin was one hell of a last ditch weapon. Apparently they were long enough and sturdy enough to be used in such a case. As far as a bra mounted knife goes, I dunnno, but that same Grandmother carried money, keys and the...

    AR Charging handle education please

    You have to try them to appreciate them. If you don't see the advantage, simply don't buy them. To be honest there are a lot of little things you can do that add up quickly when it comes to the end result price of modifying your rifle. Some of these will be worth it, others not so much. For me...

    Red dot or laser

    I have a friend that was convinced that a laser on his pistol was going to be the solution. We went to the Gun Club and fired from under the overhead cover to brightly lit targets in the middle of a summers day. You couldn't see the laser, it simply wasn't visible under those conditions. Now if...

    Why so many rounds?

    I would imagine nobody who every survived a gunfight ever said "I wish I would have carried less ammunition that day." Everybody is going to react differently, everyone is going to have a bad day, everyone is going to have a variable in their skill set day to day and occasion to occasion. I...
