Dry Fire Online – Extremely Awesome Training

While it's not free, Dry Fire Online costs about the same as a box of CCI .22LR, so it's still pretty affordable. You get a free week to check it out, so you can at least see if it's for you before plunking down your dinero.

Lately, "Glock Switch" has been trending rather high. Google Trends shows a steep increase in interest, but what is a Glock switch and is it legal?

The Smith & Wesson Response: S&W’s Latest PCCs

The S&W Response is an interesting take on the world of AR9s. The Response is all polymer, ultra-lightweight, and very easy to use. Recoil is surprisingly light for a blowback gun. As a PCC nut, the interchangeable magwells have great appeal to me. When can I get a CZ-75 version?

The 5.11 Skyweight Chest Rig: Low Profile Loadout

The Skyweight chest rig is a multiuse rig that makes it easy to carry an EDC and beyond. I see it more as a tool belt than a tactical chest rig.

Read on and see for yourself why I still rely on my Skyweight rig.

The Kel-Tec P32 Gen 2: The Ultimate Pocket Pistol

The Kel-Tec P32 is, in my opinion, the best pocket pistol on the market. It's super small, super lightweight, and very reliable. It's controllable and fires a rimfire cartridge capable of penetrating deep enough to stop a threat. The little P32 doesn't get the love it deserves, and the Gen 2 only took a good handgun and made it better.

The P32 vs the Tomcat: .32 ACP Shootout

Well, as they say, "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." How do we know if we don't try? With that in mind, I took out two of the few modern production .32 ACP handguns on the market to see if the price stumps everything.
