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 …

Stupid Sayings: “There are Enough Calibers Already!”

This phrase doesn't come around too often, usually only when someone is discussing a new cartridge from an ammo manufacturer, or a wildcat they are contemplating.  That doesn't mean this saying isn't still asinine.  The heart of my entire point is this: whether cartridges are redundant or not depends completely upon how narrowly you have …

Project: Epicyon

I have a gun.  I actually have a few, but one sticks out as unique, as the most powerful, as the most... ...visceral. I am talking, of course, about my 460 XVR from Smith & Wesson, chambered in .460 S&W Magnum. *dog for scale This gun is heavy, loud, expensive, and hard to handle (insert …

The New 300 HAM’R From Wilson Combat!

Holy smokes, what new hotness has ol' Bill Wilson unleashed on us this time? Huh.  Kinda looks like a .300BLK.  There's probably some sort of ballistic special-sauce that isn't obvious.  Let's look a little closer... That's just re... -dundant. What does this do that the .300BLK doesn't? Uhh... add like 100 fps to a supersonic …

Twilight Run ‘N Gun 2018, PART TWO

Oh, s*** boys!  Here we go again! Register here: https://practiscore.com/twilight-run-n-gun-1/register It looks to be the same deal as the last time.  5k, at night, bring your own illumination.  Divisions are 2-gun, PCC, and Night Vision, no equipment limits within those divisions.  If you feel like you can hump it for 3 miles, you are free to …

The Idiocy of the “Pinned & Welded” Barrel

Before we start, let's get this out of the way: Repeal the NFA! Got that out of your system? Good. Let's move on. I was first introduced to the idea of a pinned & welded AR barrel in about 2011. NFA laws being what they are, a rifle has to have a barrel of 16"+ …

Practical Rifle Competition, August 2018

There is a defensive rifle competition each month only a few hours' drive from me, at Oil Capital Rod & Gun Club.  This make the second time I've attended, the previous time being June 2017.  It's not a complicated affair, and I'd actually say it's a good candidate for a person's first match.  The stages …

Range Day and Testing the New Carry Piece

I finally made it to the range this week.  This is the first time I've been for the sole purpose of practice in...  let's just say a while. First thing I did was the Press Check "No Fail Shot", as it is designed to be shot cold.  From 25 yards, draw and fire 1 shot …

A Case For The DA/SA For Your Carry Gun

I just ran across this piece on ITStactical.com, and figured that readers of my "What Gun Should You Buy" series would appreciate the perspective.  I'll link it below.  I didn't really address the aspect of picking an action for your first gun, though in retrospect I really should have. Since this isn't written by me, …

Don’t Buy Cheap Holsters

I guess this is technically an extension of my "What Gun Should I Buy" series, though this isn't actually about a gun.  That doesn't mean that holster selection is any less important.  In fact, there is a good argument to be made that holster selection is more important than gun selection.  For reference, read this story.   …
