The Walther PPS M2
Synonymous with 007, elegant and streamlined. When I think of Walther, I think of an Aston Martin zooming through the Alpine mountains while in a rally-style pursuit. It conjures scenes of high stakes gambling, smoky settings with copious amounts of martinis, and of course, a little danger. I grew up watching all the Bond films […]
No Compromise
First of all, let me introduce myself. I hail from Alberta, Canada (Think Texas with -40 and snow) and work in the oil patch. I am right leaning to the point of being libertarian. Of utmost importance to me are personal rights and freedoms. Sadly, those freedoms have been constantly under attack in the […]
PCCs and You
From the reliable and dated lever action rifle, to the highly modular, polymer laden modern examples, pistol caliber carbines have been a part of the working man’s life since the settling of the American West. From merely sharing ammunition with the sidearm of the day, to sharing magazines and accessories, the pistol caliber carbine (PCC) […]

Is “Good Enough” worth its value?
It’s a word that’s used frequently along with phrases such as ‘Good enough’, ‘budget’, and ‘for the money’. In the industry of firearms, life saving medical supplies, protective equipment and personal security, however, we must come to understand what value truly is. Is a fifteen-dollar tourniquet just as valuable as it’s thirty-dollar counterparts? Is it […]

Jessica Campbell It seems like a simple topic, you throw in your ear pro, eye pro, firearms, and some ammo into your bag and you’re off to the range. However, many of us realize that what you carry (or even worse, what you don’t bring along) can make or break your shooting experience. When assembling […]
