  • The Best Defense is Good Gear: How to Choose Quality Tactical Gun Accessories.

    If your life or someone else's life is in the equation then don't back out of buying quality gear. And that doesn't mean the most expensive, that means the best quality that holds up. Name brands are a good start, if you consider a new brand make sure they are transparent and actively sharing their products benefits, uses, instructional videos and purpose so you can see it before you are relying on it.

    We are not a name brand, but we share everything, and show everything to give complete transparency.

  • The best gun belt brands are manufacturing in China. The Complete Guide to Choosing a Gun Belt for Concealed Carry and Everyday Use.

    It pains me to say this but some of the biggest and best gun belt brands are manufacturing in China, and the quality is undoubtably of a super high standard. Now I get it, made in America is a great marketing strategy and a great strategy overall but it doesn't always mean the quality is high. In fact think about your iPhone and where that is made? Its made in China because it is made extremely well there. The same is said for nylon products, and gun belts; with the right manufacturer in China you can get an unbelievably high quality nylon gun belt construction. And that is just what the likes of Kore Essentials and Nexbelt have done, and it is what we have done too. 


    I will always support those who make in America and will never bash them because it is a great thing, I just believe that the masses of folks that need a gun belt for concealed carry or everyday work use can't afford a $70-$100 belt. And if they are spending that they don't want to put it through the stress tests of everyday life.

  • Ammunition Demystified: Breaking Down the Jargon and Confusion for Novice Shooters.

    When I was first buying ammunition I got really lost in the whole type, caliber, and terminology so no doubt new gun owners are doing the same. I put together a whole bunch of my note to summarize the most common and help clarify basic ammunition for a new gun owner and a novice shooter. This is 101 and this is super basic but I think it is helpful for sure. 

    Experts please comment and share to make this a great learning opportunity for new gun owners and new novice shooters. I am no expert but believe with experts joining me on this podcast episode we can have a real impact on novice and new gun owners confidence buying ammo.

  • From .22 to 12 Gauge: The Top Ammunition Types Every Gun Owner Should Know.

    After quite some time I am now becoming more versed in ammunition, and its really only because I am shopping for myself and preparing myself for competition shooting and home defense. I have so much more to learn but for new gun owners and beginners these 5 types of ammo are probably going to be what you'll be buying right off the bat - at least one of them anyway so get familiar with them here somewhat.

  • Inside the Barrel: Exploring the Basics of Gun Bore and Rifling.

    As I have said in the past, it is important to know the parts of your guns or at least the major parts. I still don't know all the small pieces that make up a rifle, but I do know the basics. 

    The barrel, the bore are something to understand as it can be a serious issue if you try to use the wrong caliber for what the barrel is capable of handling.

    When learning about the barrel and bore you'll come across rifling so I touch on what that is exactly, but not much further as I do not know much more about it yet.
