Resolve To Improve

This year, resolve to improve your self defense skills.

The Winning Combination

Having the desire to stay safe is great. Having the means and the skills is even better. 

When It’s Not A Gunfight

A firearm isn't right for every violent incident. Sometimes you need a less-lethal defensive tool.

Revolvers I Recall

At our recent hometown gun show, I had an experience that a country boy might call “déjà vu all over again.” As usual, I had a grand time visiting with the gun folks, sold a few things, but only came home with one gun that was new to me: a 1950s-era Colt Official Police in .38 Spl. with a 4-inch barrel. It was just about a dead ringer for the very first double-action revolver I ever owned.

Rule #3: The Golden Rule

They're called the rules of gun safety, not the suggestions, not the guidelines.

Don’t Overlook Using A Shoulder Holster

Shoulder holsters aren't just for private eyes and secret agents.

Texas Ranger Charlie Miller

The art of self-defense has evolved through a period of trial and error, and so did those who gained notoriety along the way. 

Learn to Communicate

No man (or woman) is an island, especially in a defensive encounter.

Make It A Team Effort

A spouse who can shoot is a force multiplier in a lethal force encounter.

Building Confidence

Your comfort level with your gun is readily apparent to everyone around you.
