See how the right grip can cut your draw time in half and your followup speed by 75%

Fighter Pilots & Combat Pistol
I got a well meaning question on FB that I wanted to share with you.

Winter Indoor Self-Defense Training Tips
I don’t know about where you’re at, but I’m looking out the window at 6″ of fresh snow that I have to go clear. We’ve been switching back and forth between mid 30s and single digits at a head spinning rate. This has driven most shooters’ training indoors. So, today, I’m going to give you a few…
