    Unrest in Haiti - Policing force skills

    Photos like this often show troops in a relaxed posture rather than in a ready-to-fire setup. Many forces keep sights folded when they are not expecting contact because it protects the hardware and avoids snagging. It does not necessarily reflect their actual training or how they would run the...

    Indoor Gun Range Fees

    Those numbers are a little on the high side but not unheard of. Many indoor ranges charge around 20 to 35 dollars for walk ins and 10 to 25 dollars for members depending on the city. Bigger metro areas and newer facilities tend to cost more because of staffing and ventilation systems. Special...

    mentally ill man released on bail

    Kinda wild how some judges treat these cases like a small paperwork issue. Stuff escalates fast when someone is unstable and waving anything that looks like a weapon. If families can’t cover bail, they sit forever. If they can, they walk out the same day. I’ve seen it with a cousin. We used...

    making an hk45 lower

    Making or reverse-engineering a firearm lower is much more complex than it looks and also falls into an area that requires licensed manufacturing plus detailed engineering and safety testing. Even experienced machinists avoid trying to replicate a factory HK45 lower because it involves...

    Range USA Hits Milestone with 50th Indoor Gun Range

    Interesting to see how fast they have grown. Hitting 50 locations in a little over a decade shows there is real demand for indoor ranges that offer training and rental programs in one place. The numbers on new shooters and students are pretty big too, so it makes sense they keep expanding into...

    Range day trail for the XDm

    Nice work for a first serious run with the XDm. The jump from compacts to a full size takes a little time, but the tighter grip and longer sight radius usually start paying off once you get a few more sessions in. Your grouping is already consistent, so dialing in trigger control and pacing...

    Where Have All the Gunsmiths Gone?

    I know a couple of older guys in my area who still do basic repairs, but they’re booked solid for months. Younger folks seem more into factory replacements or DIY kits than learning the craft. Feels like there’s a huge gap for anyone willing to actually pick up the skills - it could be a steady...

    Government Regulators Clear $2B USD sale of Vista ammo brands to Czech Group

    CFIUS remains an interesting example of how transactions with potential national security impact get approved. Many people only see the final announcement, but behind it there’s a fairly strict process: shareholder review, financial structure analysis, potential political risks. I came across a...

    ATF says concealed carry ‘puts everyone involved at risk’ Scott

    The ATF puts out a blanket statement, but the reality is very different depending on who’s carrying. There are plenty of responsible CCW folks who train and follow the law, and lumping them all in as “a risk” feels lazy. At the same time, I get that they’re probably looking at worst-case...

    Seriously? Rifle?

    Can’t believe an umbrella caused all that. Shows how on edge people can be these days - but also better safe than sorry, I guess

    US customs officers seize 10 shipments of illegally shipped gun parts in Indianapolis

    Sorry for reviving, but, well, I don't know if it's any better than this: https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/palos-hills-man-pleads-guilty-shipping-firearm-parts-israel/

    HUGE data breach AGAIN

    "AGAIN" in the title is really depressing or laughable, I haven't decided yet

    Bet I know why Belle hasn't posted in a while.

    I think she might be doing, what is usually called "Sleeping"
