My friend Justin L. reposted this photo he found on a CZ group page. It is clearly a custom kydex holster for a dual pistol wielding motorcycle. We have seen some outlandish vehicle mounted kydex holsters for firearms but this is new and just a ridiculous. We have all [Read More…]

Found this reposted in a gun group. Often some people get frustrated at their guns and gear. However rather than isolating and addressing the issue they like to lash out and blame the gun or gear. Here is a great example of someone eating humble pie over an M&P45. A [Read More…]

The Glock 43 is a pretty difficult handgun to shoot. And strong hand only shooting doesn’t make it easier. At least if you’re engaging targets further away than 15 yards with precision and you care about my opinion. In the main picture above, I think the G43 [Read More…]
