Failure, by Choice!

21 Oct 16 ā€œIn a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom!ā€ Terry Pratchett This from a student and colleague, who works with a state agency: ā€œAssisted at our state police academy for the past few days. It was like entering a time machine! Techniques are all thirty years out-of-date. Never […]

“Tinkering” with Lives!

20 Oct 16 NY State: Throughout NYS, a new requirement under the infamous NYSAFE Act (passed by Democrats in the middle of the night), is that all current state pistol permit holders must now laboriously re-register all handguns, this time directly with the State Police. Keep in mind that every one of these handguns is […]

More on Rifles

19 Oct 16 Follow-up on Rifle and Gear, from a Friend and Colleague: ā€œFifteen years ago, when we had ten AR’s in a Class, at least half would be dead-lined by the middle of the first day! No longer the case! Modern ARs, from any quality manufacturer (STS, BCM, LaRue, Doublestar, DSA, S&W, Anderson, Warrior […]

Rifle Errors!

18 Oct 16 ā€œItā€™s not occasional ā€˜great shotsā€™ that save you. Itā€™s persistent ā€˜little mistakesā€™ that kill you!ā€ H Green Rifle-Handling Errors: At our Urban Rifle (Carbine) Courses, most students bring ARs, as you might imagine, but we see dozens of other types/brands, some of which I was heretofore only marginally aware, so many are […]

VP9 Comments

11 Oct 16 H&K VP9 ā€œflakeā€ magazine-release alternate technique, from a friend and student: ā€œI love H&Kā€™s VP9’s magazine release system! The problem Iā€™ve always had with Glocks (and some others) is that my strong-side thumb is too short to adequately depress the magazine release button on the left side of the frame, without significantly […]

Endless Riots!

10 Oct 16 Rioting, without end! Being ā€œanti-policeā€ is now ā€œpolitically correct!ā€ BHO, HRC and their BLM ā€œmovementā€ have created the nationwide anti-LE environment that recently caused a Chicago PD officer to decline to defend herself from a crazed, murderous attacker, with nearly fatal results. She was beaten to within an inch of her life. […]

Magazine-Release “Lever”

7 Oct 16 ā€œFlakeā€ Magazine-Release Lever: Weā€™ve see a number of H&Kā€™s Glock-like VP9 Pistols in Defensive Pistol Classes recently. All have run well, and the pistolā€™s ergonomics are pleasing. It represents a very acceptable carry-gun. However, one ā€œfeatureā€ of the VP9 can be an issue, and that it the pistolā€™s ambidextrous magazine-release ā€œlever.ā€ Most […]

“Need?”

6 Oct 16 Who Really ā€œNeedsā€ Guns? With many of my friends and colleagues down in South FL currently dealing with Hurricane Matthew, some have reminded me: What the media is not reporting is the numerous criminal gangs who are staying behind with the intent of looting abandoned homes in the wake of the current […]
