read moreBig Dots For Your Glock
I just put another pair of XS Big Dots on for a retired cop yesterday, and I am continually impressed with the response they generate. Lately it seems we have been doing a pile of revolver work, but the last three weeks have seen Big Dots going on Glocks like crazy. If you have been considering them, let me tell you why you might want to get them installed on your Glock. The Big Dots are as fast as any sight that is out there. They make a great IDPA sight or carry gun sight because of how quickly they can be acquired. Put the dot where...

read moreGlock Trigger Overtravel Stop
You have probably heard me say that your Glock trigger will never feel like your 1911 trigger. The two systems are so radically different in form and function that it is impossible to replicate that wonderful 1911 feeling. I recently had a customer come to me for help with the overtravel on his Glock. He is an avid 1911 shooter who didn’t know if he could make the transition to the Glock. He was interested in the Ghost Rocket Trigger because the overtravel can be adjusted. As you can see from the above photo there is a tab that can...
read moreAdvanced Pistol Scheduled
We have scheduled the Advanced Pistol Class for September 18. This is a dynamic course that will move you beyond the basics of pistol shooting. We will be involved in a lot of dynamic shooting from different positions as well as working on the fundamentals of pistol carry. One of the things I want to make clear to everyone is that this is not a class on tactics. While we will do some shooting from behind barricades, shooting from strong and weak hand, and shooting while moving, this class is geared to help you become proficient at drawing...
read moreClearing a Double Feed
It isn’t often that you run across a double feed malfunction when shooting your favorite pistol. When you do, they can be a bear to clear if you don’t follow some simple steps to get your gun up and running. Description: A double feed is when you have one round in the chamber and another round is released from the magazine in order to feed. Now you have two rounds trying to get into one chamber. How does it happen? You put one round in the chamber manually with the slide locked back, and then inserted the magazine and released...
read moreThe Concealed Carry Foundation
Many of you, no doubt, are interested in protecting your family so you have made the decision to become proficient with your handgun. If you practice this lifestyle let me tell you what I think is the foundation of any system you employ while out on the street. You might think it is a particular firearm. We assume you have chosen a quality firearm of your preference. If you like it, and it works for you then you already have that covered. You might think of it as the holster you choose. Many of our readers ask what we like to use. The...
read more3 Types of Misfires
There are three different types of Misfires that can happen when you are training. Each one is a little different in your response. Be sure to understand them so that you can respond appropriately. Misfire-This is a cartridge that doesn’t ignite when the primer is struck. If you think about it this way it might help: It misses the opportunity to fire. In all my years of shooting I have seen this one quite frequently it cheap rimfire ammo, but I personally have only experienced one rifle round that was a misfire. Oddly enough that...
read moreIDPA: Game or Training?
Many of you are familiar with IDPA, but for those of you who are not it is the International Defensive Pistol Association. Shooters must shoot basically factory guns that can only be modified lightly. Magazines are loaded to 10 rounds maximum and you shoot with a concealment garment. In short, it is about as fun as gets. Being in Nashville, we have the luxury of shooting IDPA almost every week at a different match. If you are looking for a Nashville match, check out the Music City Tactical Shooters. These are great guys who run solid...
read moreUse a Holster
There are many of you who like me, have gotten a little lazy in the past with how you carry your pistola. It is easy to just grab and go if you are only going to run into the store for a few minutes. So you stick the gun in the waistband and cover it with your t-shirt. Smart thinking? Perhaps not. Recently a man in Seattle had the same idea. It didn’t work out for him to well. In fact, I would argue it was detrimental to his life. Read the full article below taken from the Seattle Times on May 30, 2010: Man accidentally shoots...
