I actually enjoy shooting my Ruger LCP. The challenge of accurately shooting such a small pistol, with a long, heavy trigger pull actually allows me to work on skills that work with any handgun.

Nice article. I am in complete agreement with the methodology and conclusion, but I'll probably still pay myself on the back for a decent 3-shot group.

Sorry, I just noticed this request... The M&P Compact is a .40 S&W. I have owned Shields of each generation and every caliber, but I have now settled on the M&P40 Compact as my primary EDC. I love for it's handling characteristics, power factor and accuracy. I've also found that with my body...

Recce baby! 13.7" SoL barrel with a pinned & welded WarComp muzzle device to reach the requisite 16.1" legal minimum. The only piece missing is the 1-8 LPVO glass on top... Once I decide which one of course.

How else would you know it's the bad guy? 😜

I'd rather use my Winchester 1892 in .44 Mag for whitetail than a bolt or semi auto... It just feels right.

My favorite has been the 36 yard zero for an AR platform. Without going into a lot of detail, just trust me that it gives you the smallest cluster of impact points for all the distances that your short barrel is likely to engage. Here is the 25 yard target that gives a 36 yard zero...

I believe that threat focus shooting is an essential skill set to develop. Psychologically it does induce a degree focus and stress that just isn't present with any other target shooting. It is also one of my favorite skills to hone. Billymac, the answer is, "yes".

Your story is a Xerox copy of my AR pistol experience. My solution was to change to a B5 stock and a 13.7" barrel with a pin&welded Warcomp, which gives me a rifle length 16.2" barrel. Now I have a RECCE rifle that is only 3" longer than the pistol. Born as a 10.5" Pistol with a Brace: Reborn...

The last lead smelter in the US closed shop during the Obama administration. They did so due to the fact that O's EPA kept slapping them with more and more burdensome regulations, that basically made it impossible to operate with a profit. It is my understanding that the US now gets most of its...

I'm sorry to say it, but ammo shortages are not winding down, but rather gearing up. we will not be out from under the current manufacturing backlogs before the Biden/Harris EO's and legislation start to roll out of the White House. The new administration has already stated that a first order of...

When using the same grip style as a larger handgun, it is common to have a thumb that rides against the slide during recoil, which slows it down. It is also common to hit the slide release during recoil, which may not be noticeable, but it will send the slide forward after the last round. In...

My Go-To's: Winchester Ranger-T Speer Gold Dot Federal HST

Almost all my gripes were with the trigger... The weight of course, over-travel and reset. With both of the 1st gen XDm 5.25 competition pistols, what I got were triggers that were lacking in these aspects, and found that many of the standard XDm pistols had better triggers than the...

After having owned two of the 1st gen XDm 5.25 pistols, and selling them, I decided to take the plunge again when the XDm Elite came to market and I'm sure glad I did. Not that there was anything spectacularly wrong with the 1st Gen XDm's that I owned, it just comes down to the fact that any...

I used to own two, but after an intensive 12-step deprogramming regimen in 2007, I am happy to report that I own zero Glocks today.

What is this justification you speak of? Since I carry from the time my pants go on to the time I take them off for bed, my sidearm is with me... Justified or not.

Two High-Cap Pistols!

That is some darn good shooting Detonics. I do some long range practice myself, but at nowhere near your cadence... Speed is my Achilles heel.

Thanks for the compliment.
