I’ve bided my time and patiently waded through the myriad posts about the new Gen5 GLOCK. Some have said it’s no big deal, others have derided GLOCK with, “I thought it was perfection??” Let me provide the bottom line to the new generation. If we go back to the Gen3 release, everyone saw it as […]

I had a relationship with BHSpring Solutions from my work on my Browning Hi Power. If you have a Hi Power, I can tell you there is no better expert available than these folks. Based in New Palestine, IN, they have springs, parts, tools (oh my, the tools!) and even custom 1911 grips. I’ve been

But I am concerned that we continue to promote the correction of several anti-Constitutional laws that remain on the books. The first is the National Firearms Act of 1934. This is the legislation which created the requirement to pay a $200

If you’re not using dry fire as an excellent tool to increase your skills, you’re making a mistake. I’m an avid user of LASR software, the Laser Activated Shot Reporter from John and the great folks at LasrApp.com. Version 4.1 came out in late November. John has some great training videos on his site too.
I am a big John Moses Browning fan, even if I do own more GLOCKs than most people. J I have several of his pistols from the turn of the century. At a time when most of the world was using revolvers, Browning introduced the first semi-automatic pistol to use a slide! His 1896 design

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is, “What kind of sights should I put on my pistol?” or “Can you change the sights on my pistol?” Unless you purchase a custom made pistol, chances are you’ll do better if you replace the stock sights – especially on a GLOCK pistol – which are
