Is there such a thing as “too many flashlights”?
Probably not, as John Farnam explains. I’ll deviate from his recommendations just a bit, though, and suggest that having fewer but higher quality lights is really the way to go. I’ve done the cheapie Coast flashlight thing, and there’s nothing worse than having …

Things people say: “Don’t carry a nice gun.”
If you have a concealed carry firearm, and you use that firearm against another person, the chances of the police seizing that gun for evidence are very high. If your attacker is injured or dies, it’s a certainty that your gun will end up in the evidence locker.
Once in evidence, your gun will not be returned to you until after all legal proceedings are settled. Even then, it may be months or even years after the case has …

When shooting schools don’t produce results
This is a pretty good article that looks at some of the reasons defensive shooting instruction often doesn’t deliver what it promises (or is expected) to deliver. I’m in particular agreement with #3.
Your gun does not make you the police. This is what happens when you forget that little …

What does “preparing for the worst case” mean?
In both the self defense and prepping communities, people talk about preparing — training and equipping — for “the worst case scenario”. “We train for the worst case”, schools brag (and their students claim).
What, actually, is the worst case?
The mind runs wild
If you were to take a little time (or perhaps watch an apocalyptic movie or two) I’m sure you could imagine an absolute worst case scenario — societal collapse, nuclear armageddon, zombie uprising, worldwide pandemic, …

Reprise: When is a Magnum not really a Magnum?
Prompted by my friends over at the Liberal Gun Club, this is another in an occasional series of revisiting some of my old articles which had been published elsewhere over the years, perhaps lightly edited or updated with my current thoughts on the topic discussed. This is an article I wrote for Guns.com, and it […]
Womens’ self defense training on Training Talk
Let’s be honest: There is a ton of really awful self defense training aimed at women. I’m not sure why that is, but I constantly see bad techniques, bad advice, and bad teaching methods pushed at women — and the offenders are both men and other women.
It doesn’t need to be that way, and on last night’s episode of Training Talk I discuss the current state of women’s self defense education with Alessandro Padovani of Safer Faster Defense. …

A Good Week for Cartridge Conversions
This week I finally finished ‘The Cherub.’ This was an unidentified unfinished gun when I got it. It was full assembled, but many of the parts were ‘as cast’ and only the internal parts were finished at all. It was also missing it’s locking-bolt. I had the impression that it was bought as a kit […]
