The legend The reality The pistol was a gift from a friend. Thanks to the recent arrival of 7.62×25 gun food, live fire review is coming.
Co-worker Tiffany
One of the best features of working freelance is being able to pick the co-workers. While most of my models are local friends, all but one of my retouchers live elsewhere. Tiffany is the one local colleague. We go back … Continue reading

Volquartsen solution for the left-handed.
Volquartsen Ultra Lite .22 is an awesome rifle, but the thumbhole stock is fairly long and designed purely for right-handed users. Fortunately, one minute with a screwdriver puts on an even lighter Hogue stock which is shorter and ambidextrous. Add … Continue reading

Savage Rascal, scoped
I’ve written about Savage Rascal before. It’s one of my favorite little rifles, tiny enough for kids but built well enough for adults to use as well. I use mine with the default peep sight and that’s good enough for … Continue reading

Refresher training.
I first took a shotgun class around 2000 with Greg Sullivan’s Defensive Edge in Minnesota. I was amazed at how much I was able to learn in a day. I’ve not done any shotgun training since. Time to remedy that … Continue reading
M1911 in 7.62x25mm
(Updated August 24 with the link to much larger image) Considering how often I’ve heard people profess a desire for such a pistol, it’s surprising to come across such a gun for the first time ever. It uses 5 shot … Continue reading
John Lewis, a great man

Hot weather carry option
Glock 43 with Viridian R5 laser. Might work with something like this garter holster.
Brenneke slugs work well
Origin 12 shotgun with Trijicon RX30 sight (unmagnified 6.5MOA dot reticle), Brenneke full power magnum slugs. Five shots at 25 yards, with the shotgun rested on a porch railing. The sight wasn’t fully adjusted at that point, we fixed it … Continue reading
This is why I look forward to Mondays
This video was made yesterday in my neighbor’s back yard. Origin 12 home. My older video about it. Another video from the same day.

Oil painting filter in Photoshop CC 2015
I need oil painting filter for a project. I have CS5 and CS2015 installed. The filter seems exclusive to CS6. Any suggestions on how to deal with this problem? Thanks!
A well-appointed Saiga 12
A friend brought his shotgun today and I was very impressed with how well it was set up. The sight radius is much longer than on the original gun, and ghost ring and circular protective hood around the front post … Continue reading

A very capable lady and her gun
Tatiana Whitlock, the gun trainer, the engineer, and the awesome host. I just got back from a great week that she and her family organized for me in Maine. The Nighthawk T4 she shoots.
