When I was 10 years old, I read Jeff Cooper’s articles in Guns & Ammo magazine in which he extolled the 1911 “.45 automatic” as the ultimate gunfighting/self-defense handgun. What he wrote made a great deal of sense to me. All these years later, it still does. The basic 1911 .45 has been protecting Americans for over a century without needing fancy ...

Like many endeavors, success in defensive-style shooting is dependent on the proper execution of certain building blocks. I have heard them referred to as the basics, foundational skills or fundamentals, but just about every trainer and shooting school devotes some significant attention to this area. Ultimately, these are the qualities that we need to refine in order to become proficient ...

The AR-15 charging handle is a weird little thing. Although it’s placed in a neat recess inside the upper receiver and tucked away without being too much of snag hazard, it’s important to access quickly it in order to clear the action from a malfunction. The traditional AR-15 charging handle design’s “T” shape leaves a lot to be desired, as it’s ...
