The Ballad of Kevin Brittingham

I know what you're thinking, and rightfully so.  "Who is this Kevin guy, and why do I care?"  Hang tight, and let me learn you.  This started before I really got into guns, so some of this info is from what I've scavenged and remember hearing here & there. Kevin Brittingham started a little company called …

HAWG Holster Review

 I got a holster for my Ruger LCRx in .327 Federal Magnum a while back, but haven't written about it yet.  I honestly hadn't carried it a whole lot and didn't have much opinion formed about it until recently, but now I feel confident to speak on it. But, this post isn't about the gun, …

Desert Brutality 2019

I signed up.  Feb. 2nd & 3rd, 2019, I will be in Southern Utah shooting the 2nd Annual InRangeTV Desert Brutality.  Hopefully I'll win something. If you don't know what DB is, here's the premise: A 2-Gun (rifle & pistol) practical shooting competition, where the difficulty comes not from complex stage design and target presentation, …

Stupid Sayings: “I’d Rather be Lucky Than Good”

This one really grinds my gears.  I've heard it all my life, and from people who should know better.  I remember my dad saying this when I was younger, and I heard Jocko Willink say it on a recent podcast. Am I missing something? Let's look at this critically: "I'd rather be lucky than good."  The speaker …

Stupid Sayings: “I Wish a MF’er would!”

I really, really, hate it when I hear or see someone say that.  Not dislike, literal hatred. I'm no lawyer (nor do I ply one on TV), but even I can see that being quoted as saying "I wish someone would give me a reason to kill them" is a bad idea.  It's hard to imagine …

What Scares Me Regarding My Kids

Not being there when they need me. Most people are kind, caring, and trustworthy, but there are monsters out there. These predators look like the normal people, talk like the normal people, walk like the normal people, and may even convince you that they themselves are normal but they are monsters. They are the literal …

Twilight Run ‘N Gun 2018 II Results

Last weekend was the 2nd Twilight Run 'N Gun. If you remember from my last update, I was feeling odd and apprehensive about this event. Well, it's come and gone, the cookie has crumbled, and the fat lady has sung. Before I get into how I ended up doing, let's take a moment to talk …

Simple Tastes

"I am a man of simple tastes..."

Practical Rifle Competition, October 2018

I went back to the rifle competition this past weekend. I ought to get there more often, but life has a funny way of keeping our plans from ever going the way we intend. I'm not going to go over how the match works, you can read it here. I did get video this time, …

Twilight Run ‘N Gun 2018, PART TWO -UPDATE

The Twilight Run 'N Gun 2018 - Part II is on the 27th, 15 days from the day this is published.  My rifle is already set up.  I know what gear I'm going to run.  I know what I'm going to change and I think I know what to expect.  My real concern is that …
