Periodically I render forth a new novel, and now is such a time. Invariably my stories have revolved around firearms and their use in deadly situations. My latest work is called Castigo Cay, and it does not relate to the Enemies Foreign And Domestic trilogy except in their shared theme of a...

http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2011/03/07/survive-pirate-attack/ The author of this article, Paul Eisenberg of Fox News, interviewed me for an hour last week. These are the paragraphs that came from that interview: When you’re in port, it pays to “get all local knowledge you can from...

An Arisaka Type 38 rifle from Iwo Jima And a samurai sword, and a Japanese battle flag, and a photo of my father-in-law taken a long, long time ago. But since there is a rifle in the photo, I'd like to take a moment to mention that my father-in-law died just before Christmas. This thread is...

Last weekend I attended a two-day Carbine Operator course on a big farm near Lake City, Florida. The instructor was Russ Adler, and there were seven students. This was an ideal number for one instructor to handle. The big farm venue was ideal. There was so much private farm land behind the...

Okay, this wasn't a bench-by-bench comparison. But I did shoot one rifle last week at my range, and the other rifle today at a guest range. Both ranges are in Florida, if you care, on opposite coasts. Both rifles were comparable M-4gerys. Top end or close to to top end. (Not junk.) Similar...

Arm Thy Neighbor by Matthew Bracken If you don’t presently own any firearms, you may have been considering taking that step in order to protect yourself and your family. Or perhaps you already have what you consider to be an adequate home armory, but is it really enough? In the event that...

Currently I'm about 2/3s of the way through writing "Foreign Enemies," the end of my Enemies trilogy. This section holds together pretty well on its own. It provides most of the background explanation behind the novel. http://www.enemiesforeignanddomestic.com/FESP.htm

A few months ago the art director from the USA Network television show Burn Notice (about an ex-CIA guy in Miami) emailed and called me about using a physical copy of Enemies Foreign And Domestic as a visual prop in the hero's apartment. They thought it was something an ex-spook might be...

I have a KelTec P-11 I use for CCW here in Florida, where it's hot most of the year. I like to CCW under loose "Hawaiian" type shirts. After I installed this ArmaLaser on my P-11, it wouldn't fit any of my other holsters anymore. So I used my knowledge of fiberglass construction to create...

Check this out! I'm not sure about the legality, but the concept is awesome for CCW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s

I was considering buying a Glock 17 or 19 nine mm pistol for a "volksgun," considering that if HIllary or OBama is elected, hi cap mags and even semi-auto pistols might suddenly become hard to purchase. That led me to the discovery that you can swap aftermarket barrels by Lone Wolf and...

Okay, here's the deal. I've got a new Bushmaster AR carbine, with a flat top pic rail. I have decided to put an EOTech or HOLOsight on top. Here's where it gets confusing. I want to put on an EOTech standard shape profile, because the height of the reticle will cowitness on the front sight...

Inside Tucson Business Lionel Waxman http://azbiz.com/lionel_waxman/ You are not going to like what I have to say today. But it must be said, out loud. People are whispering about it now, but if we don’t face up to it, it will only get worse. The violent incident in Cananea, Sonora, has...

I just returned from a quick 1,000 mile car tour around Wyoming. There were two reasons for my visit: to speak to the Wyoming State Shooting Association in Casper last Saturday, and to do some eyeball recon for my next book. I was invited up to Casper by Mark S, president of the WSSA, so I...

Obama Touts Gun-Control Cho Seung-Hui, the presumed mentally ill gunman who shot 32 people at Virginia Tech inspired Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to urge that laws should be strengthened to prevent the mentally ill from buying guns. Federal laws already...

I have purchased a very nice CZ-52 as a cheap fun plinker, but I'm wondering if anybody has ever worked up hollowpoint defense rounds for this bottlenecked Tokarev ammo? S&B makes new non-corrosive ammo pushing an 88 grain FMJ somewhere around 1,500 fps. This will for sure put holes in people...
