Or, 1000 words on why shooting practical pistol competitions may NOT get you killed in the real world. I don’t want to know what it’s like to lay down cover fire or call in an airstrike; that’s the military’s job, … Continue reading
The pathetic state of the online firearms world has been a bit of a hot topic for me, so when someone decides to get serious about improving their online presence, it’s a big deal (to me at least). IDPA has … Continue reading
