Trijicon Uses Bible Verses on Scopes
Trijicon has been a household name for many of you for a long time. I have used their stuff for years, and until this week I was unaware they added a Bible Verse inscription to their scopes. It has generated a lot of heat. One commentator called it proselytizing. I certainly think they are within their rights to do so, because they are a private company. I guess more than anything this story cracks me up because it really doesn’t seem like it should be news. They are great scopes, and you don’t have to buy from them if you...
read moreSP101 Bobbed Hammer
We recently did an SP101 package where we bobbed the hammer and converted it to Double Action Only. There are a couple of reasons to do this: Pocket carry is much easier because the draw motion is simplified. No worry about the Single Action Mode. The Double Action Trigger Job we do makes it really easy. Besides, you aren’t going to have time to manually cock the gun. We also chamfered the cylinder for easy reloading. Add the XS Big dot sight and you have a great gun. Check out the pictures below.
read moreInstallation of XS Sights for Ruger SP101
James just asked an interesting question in the comments section of the website concerning the installation of XS sights on an SP101. It is actually a little more involved than the Glock sites, so let me quote the steps from XS’s installation brochure: Place gun in padded vise. Drive out the front sight pin(s). Remove the old sight and insert the new Express Sight into the slot. Some fitting may be required. Hold the sight in the slot (red threadlocker may be used to hold the sight in place) and drill the hole(s) for the retaining...
read moreWho needs a Pistol Lanyard
One of the things that comes up from time to time is the usefulness of lanyards for pistols. Some of the 1911’s offered today by custom makers are offering the lanyard loop again on the mainspring housing. This leads us to ask, “Is this practical or simply tacticool?” This is a tricky one, because there is no hard and fast rule to help you decide. If you want a lanyard loop on your gun, so you can say you have one, it is probably not a good idea. If you want a lanyard loop to hang your lucky charm on it, again, not a...
read more5.11 Professional Polo
We have just received the 5.11 Professional Polo for review. It will be included in our Tactical Polo review along with items from Blackhawk! and Woolrich Elite. At first glance the 5.11 shirt looks really nice, and feels great too. We still haven’t heard anything from Eotac yet. Perhaps they will send something this week. We were hoping to have all four companies represented, but we will move forward if something doesn’t shake out soon. More information to come soon.
read moreSOB Carry
SOB can mean something that isn’t polite to say, but in the world of CCW it means Small OF Back. I recently carried an SP101 this way. It is one of the best ways to conceal no matter what your attire is for the day. SOB carry can be done with an expensive holster from Galco or other makers, but you just as easily carry with a very inexpensive Inside the Waist Band holster from Unlce Mikes. These neoprene type holsters can be found all over the place in the $10-$15 range. They offer a great platform for this type of carry. One thing...
read moreChanges for 2010
MCC is trying to get into the new decade with a few changes. Since our inception 4 years ago, we have accepted payment by check or money order. This was done to simply things for us, and because when we started we didn’t even have a website since 100% of our business came from the local area where we were located. Today that has almost completely changed. We now have 90% of our business coming from competitive shooters, persons concerned with personal defense and general shooters from around the country. In an effort to simply...

read moreSerpa for Glock 30
Hope you all had a very nice holiday season and hopefully caught a little rest before the new year. While we were away on our vacation we received notice from one of our readers that Blackhawk! was finally coming out with a Serpa CQC Holster for the Glock 30. This is a long-awaited addition for 30 users. The 30 is a surprisingly mild recoiling gun despite its weight. For those of you with smaller hands, you should check out the 30 SF. If you have been considering a compact 45 ACP you now have another good holster to use with it. The Serpa...
read more20 Gauge for Home Defense?
In this video Massad Ayoob shows the differences in 12 gauge and 20 gauge shotguns for home defense. It may surprise you that the 20 gauge really doesn’t give up anything to its big brother. If you have one of these in the closet, it would be ideal for a conversion like our SM-1 package. Email for details. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMv2z_PX7s0&feature=related]
