Nothing says “I love you” like flowers…
Well, except maybe some cool gun gear.. I surprised my wife with some nice Comp-Tac gear for her M&P compact 9mm. Maybe we’ll have some more gifts coming up too, the kind that quiets the mind and is good for health and the soul. We all know Valentines’ day tends to end one way for…

The Polymer Beast: Glock 23
Review of the Glock 23 Generation 3 “A Glock? Hell no. Get that hunk of plastic away from me!” These words always seemed to roll from my mouth whenever anyone mentioned a Glock around me. That is, until I was introduced to the Glock Model 23.

Today I want to start a series of articles covering some thoughts and some things I have done with my own “arsenal” over the last few years. This just is not the country I grew up in and for the much worse. I was mainly a military rifle collector and a most any kind of pistol…

Consumer Handgun Review: Ruger LCP
So I have finally decided to get my CCW and to carry a personal defense weapon. It’s been in my mind for a few years, but recent events have got me on track. So what to carry?
