What I carry: the Steyr S9-A1
The other day I shared this video on Facebook. The video is by a friend of mine, Richard Johnson, who runs a website called Guns, Holsters and Gear. He reviewed the Steyr S9-A1, which is my concealed carry semi-auto of choice.
In the Facebook comments, a fellow named Andy wanted to know about my gun. He asked if I’d ever blogged about my choice of the Steyr pistol; I checked my archives, and though I’ve mentioned it from time …

Announcing Threat Centered Revolver in Phoenix!
Good news for revolver owners! I’ll be back in Phoenix, AZ this November 11th & 12th, teaching my Threat-Centered Revolver course!
In the last couple of years this has become my most popular course, and for good reason — very few people in the training world take the revolver seriously as a defensive tool. Many don’t understand them or, worse, don’t like them.

Mini-Range Report 19 May 2017- Reloading Newb Addendum
I finished work early today and was discussing what to do this afternoon when Linda said, “I know you have those new loads- why don’t you go shooting?” I left skid marks. Previously all I had put through the Remington Bulldog were HSM 200gr RNFP Cowboy loads, so I was interested to see how the […]
On Training Talk: Competition vs Self Defense
If you didn’t see Training Talk last night, you missed a great show!
My special guest was Aaron Israel of Fundamental Defense, and we talked about something we both have some experience with: the similarities and differences in competition and defensive shooting. It was a wide-ranging discussion, and you might be surprised at some of the answers he gave!
Be sure to watch the replay.
