Hit the gym!
Besides the obvious health benefits, more muscle means you can operate heavier toys. This DSA FAL is hefty — a heavy barrel, a 100rd Beta drum and a 2.5-10x optic do add up — but also capable of keeping up … Continue reading
Independent women.
In my long quest for a mate, I found that only independent women are interesting. Those who were wards of others — either incapable of independent judgement, or of feeding, sheltering or defending themselves — were not only uninteresting but … Continue reading

Keeping a low profile.
In Tennessee, openly carried pistols and obvious long gun cases don’t get much attention. In other states, discretion is a good idea because of government agents and other thieves. Some people carry pistols in diaper bags on the assumption that … Continue reading

A note to aspiring models.
I work with a wide variety of models, professional, amateur and accidental (friends who happen to fit some idea of mine). This is directed primarily towards the amateur models who are interested in becoming professional. The crucial qualities for a … Continue reading
Left-hand AR15
Just because 9mm carbines are girly, doesn’t mean that smaller bores should be neglected. Sarah gets long with the RRA .223 for southpaws just fine. Range report in a few. Other trivia: you can see a Sykes-Fairburn dagger and clips … Continue reading
Effective range of a 9×19 carbine.
This is Sarah. She is 15 and left-handed, so a light 9mm carbine with left-hand ejection is a reasonable long gun for her. The carbine is topped with a 3x scope zeroed at 50 yards. With this being the reticle, … Continue reading
Cliff
My friend Cliff. Photos were taken for Henschel Hat Co. and for an upcoming Concealed Carry magazine article about M&P series handguns.
Perfect shoes for a walk in the woods.

Great leaders with guns.
Soviet leader Brezhnev. When guns are restricted, they become status symbols and the rulers pose with them. That doesn’t mean they support gun ownership for the “proles”. The first gun control on record, the 1518 prohibition on wheel locks, was … Continue reading
More snapshots from Prague
Typical Czech river sailors? Nice legs. A boy and a girl A doggie date A small pride of cats A spaniel? (Update) Apparently a dachshund.
After a string of fire.
Suppressed SU22 is light enough and quiet enough for a comfortable social outing in the woods of Tennessee. Everyone shot suppressed that day, so the ear plugs aren’t in evidence.

A strangely charismatic little rifle.
Little Badger in the hands of self-defense trainer Kathy Jackson. Little Badger looks like an illicit love child between an AR15 and a Mk3 Sten. It’s all black metal and Picatinny rails, with a ladder sight of M2 carbine and … Continue reading
New teeth for my model.
Wendy has appeared in two of my RKBA posters. Her daughter and husband have been in a dozen more. Now we can help her in turn and I would urge my readers to put what you can in the fund. … Continue reading
Canadian photographer Dickson Ly
One of many interesting people met at SHOT show, Dickson runs Transgressive Media.
Back from SHOT show
The 2013 show was a major success. I will be posting photos and articles from it in the next several weeks. I even managed two range trips: the first at Media Day (which was fun but extremely cold and windy) … Continue reading
