At some point I thought to myself “I wonder, what’s the biggest gun I can comfortably carry and conceal?” To haul around maximize firepower comfortably means off-body carry. Since I work in a professional environment my first thought was a briefcase with foam cutouts, which I’ll still probably do, but then I was introduced to the concept of an Active
Read moreA significant part of shooting and one of the hardest to master is trigger control. When you really break it down it’s not hard to see why. Under ideal circumstances, like at the range, you’re firmly holding onto an object that is naturally startling while using both hands and 9 of your fingers as your solitary trigger finger tries to

Most clearly looked like conversions, no sex appeal at all. I entertained the idea of a CZ Scorpion EVO but I really wanted something with AR controls. I considered the SIG Sauer
Read moreI just hit 1,000 rounds since starting my P226 SAO Legion Reliability Challenge and thought it time for an update. When I initially started this project concerns were raised (by some people much more tactfully than others) that damage would occur to the rails.
