You know what? This is pretty freaking brilliant... I've been an instructor for close to 15 years, and I never really thought about this aspect of it.

Hey, man -- got a link to this video? I'd love to see it!

I have the MantisX 3 and I use it as a training tool for my classes. It's a nifty little piece of hardware with a pretty telling app... what I find most useful about it is the first screen which gives you real time feedback with every pull of the trigger telling you if you jerked/slapped the...

I picked up two of the SA 1911 Range Officer Elites in 9mm to use in my training classes -- especially for women. When they look at the gun, the first reaction is disbelief, but once we explain that the weight of the gun will absorb much more of the recoil than the polymer sub-combat they use...

I have a Burris AR-536 (5x) optic on my SA AR-15 Saint, and a Sig Sauer Romeo 5X (1X) on my SA Saint AR-15 Pistol.

The bottom line is that we live in America... and everything is a double edged sword. Arrest records, incident reports, and even government emails and documents are a matter of public record, and if we start choosing what we do and do no cover up, it could have a negative impact when someone...

It's called the "Ball and Dummy Drill" and, despite my many years of shooting, and countless hundreds (thousands) of hours of training, I still find myself flinching. It's something that will creep up on you again and again over time, so it's always good to go back to basics and practice the...

From the mouth of the man himself... great article, SA, and a great person to have contribute!

Typically, ranges will ban steel-core FMJ... but there's no reason to ban lead-based FMJ rounds. That sounds kind of odd!

They have templates and resources out there that explain how to cut down .223 or 5.56 casings to reload for .300BLK. It's time consuming, but all things said and done, it would still wind up being more cost effective than buying the ammo outright...

I use an XDm 4.5" OSP for competition. I use Springer Precision for the bulk of my mods. I have the extended magazine release, compensator, flared mag well, and grip tape. The last thing on my to do list is a trigger job and probably a tungsten guiderod insert. That's coming after I get the...

Greetings, folks! DelawarePatriot here... I've been shooting competitively for close to about 15 years now and I run a small business in Delaware to train folks to get their license to conceal. I'm a huge Springfield fan, and have about 7 different SA pistols and rifles, with my eye on...

Absolutely. Follow the old addage, "practice how you perform"... the more opportunities folks can take to get out to the range, get into competition, or practice under stressful situations the better!

According to the FBI's report on handgun wounding and mortality factors, shot placement, in tandem with caliber, are the two principal factors in determining lethality. Even a .22LR, properly placed, can be an effective defensive round. Bottom line: get what you can shoot comfortably...

Honestly, a laser works really well as a training tool for dry firing. The true name of the game is being able to move your trigger without disturbing your sight alignment -- any technique issues are extra apparent when you turn on your laser and dry fire the pistol at the wall. Watch how much...

The wife has had an XD-S for a little while now -- no issues. Got a picture?

I've been carrying an XD on my hip for the past 12 years -- and I actually just bought an XD Mod 2 for my father-in-law for Christmas for his first handgun... but I'd love to see the features of a Hellcat on a 4" model!

We seriously need a 4" Hellcat... What do ya say, Springfield? ;)

I've been trying to source one since they were released -- every time a shop gets one in, they're gone!
