Immediate Action: The Easiest Way to Keep Your Gun Operational

I also believe there are some things firearms instructors teach on a regular basis — things we all accept as dogma — that when examined carefully might not be the best way. …
Michigan: Administration Bans Open Carry At Polls
Today, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson issued guidance prohibiting the open carry of firearms at polling places on election day.

I Carry: Kimber Micro9 LG Pistol in a DeSantis Holster
We’ve covered a different variant of Kimber’s Micro9 pistol previously, and while that model (the Triari) might have the edge in the aesthetics department, the Two Tone LG we have here today is purpose-built for concealed carry.

Preview: Trijicon Bright & Tough Suppressor Night Sights
In order to effectively use a suppressor with a semi-automatic pistol, or to co-witness your irons with a slide-mounted optic, you need a set of sights tall enough to either allow aiming over the silencer or to view both the front and rear sights through the red-dot’s lens. Trijicon’s Bright …
Gun-Related Gear Shortage Ahead?
