    When it comes down to it, what is your "go to" EDC?

    Hellcat Pro is my first choice, followed by Staccato C2 when I can wear heavier cover garments.

    F-105 Thunderchief: The Mighty Thud

    Anyone who has even the slightest interest in combat aviation or Vietnam has to read Thud Ridge. It is absolutely riveting to read what the F105 guys were tasked to do over there and how they went out day after day into the toughest air defenses ever seen. They took tremendous losses and kept...

    The Air Force Needs Fewer Leaders and More Wrench-Turners… Here’s How to Get Them

    I read a fairly recent statement by the Secretary of the Air Force that stated their biggest problem was a lack of diversity in their pilots. You can’t recover from stupidity like that…

    Hellcat Pro 9

    Lots of reviews on YouTube to look at. I bought one and have been very impressed with it. I think it is the perfect size for concealment while retaining enough size to shoot easily. Best EDC I’ve had. So far it has been extremely reliable as well.

    Sig P226 Legion SAO vs Staccato P (Sept 1, 2023)

    I’m very familiar with the SIG 220/226/228 series of guns but not the Legion. I’ve also got a Staccato C2 recently. My opinion is that the C2 is the easiest handgun to shoot and the most accurate. It is in the $2000 range for the basic gun and $2300 for the optical version which is not far from...

    A-6 Intruder: The Iron Tadpole

    Great airplane that was singular in its ability to fight at night and in bad weather. Carried a great bomb load also. Minor note—the A6 was known as the Ugly, while the EA6B was the Double Ugly. I knew guys who flew both.

    Concealed body armor?!:

    If I had to wear it for my job, I would seriously consider getting another job. If you are locked into it for some reason then there are no good alternatives. They are all hot, sweaty and uncomfortable. Good luck with your decisions!

    Concealed body armor?!:

    Any time I’ve needed body armor it has been provided to me by a kindly Uncle. If I thought I really needed it as a civilian I wouldn’t go out to wherever that was…

    Break down of the differences between all the Springfield 1911’s?

    If you have $1500 in the budget I’d look for a used TRP. Not too far from a new one really. Buy once and cry once…you won’t be disappointed in the gun. If you buy a cheap version you are rolling the dice on reliability. Some are fine, some aren’t… If you buy new from Springfield their customer...
