I am a firm believer in using correct terminology but I don’t really get all bent out of shape when someone continues to use an incorrect term. Water off a duck’s back is how I look at that. In the past year I have been getting right many strongly worded emails and facebook messages explaining […]
In my opinion one of the most important parts of a firearm is the sights. I mean, unless you are an actor in Hollyweird, you are going to need those sights to make reliable accurate shots. Factory sights often leave a lot to be desired. With that in mind, it is always a good idea […]

For the longest time I did not care for Glock pistols. I just did not get caught up in what folks were raving about. I was at a gunshow and found a brand new Gen 4 17 at a deal, so I picked it up. You can see that review by following this link. I began […]

A day at the range and shoot house honing your skills is time well spent, but that is not always an option, be it time, money, or access that stands in the way. With that said, that does not give you an excuse not to continue to train and develop your shooting skills. Since […]
The .32 Auto, also known as the 7.65mm Browning, was developed by none other than John Browning for the FN 1900 pistol introduced in 1899.
