I have not always liked Ruger. In particular, the handguns they made once upon a time were some of my least favorite to work on when they were brought into the shop where I used to work. Those were all older models that are no longer in production. I've not had a lot of experience … Continue reading First Thoughts: Ruger RXM
Kitting Up: My Gear as of 2025
I've written several articles about selecting tactical equipment and what considerations to make when looking to buy gear. I haven't really spent too much time talking about what I have chosen for my personal equipment. I feel it is about time I do that. For anyone who hasn't read any of my previous articles, I … Continue reading Kitting Up: My Gear as of 2025
The Wastelander Rifle Revisited
I wrote an article not too long ago about a concept a friend and I had discussed about what would make a good survival rifle in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. That article can be read HERE. In my perusing the internet for entertainment and information I came across a video of someone shooting a 300 Blackout … Continue reading The Wastelander Rifle Revisited
Retribution – A 1911 Project With A Story
In 2005 while I was in basic training I started writing a story. It was a typical dark fantasy/horror/thriller that prominently featured monsters and vampires and werewolves and demons...you know, all the stuff you typically find in young adult novels brimming with angst and misguided lust. The original version never really sat well with me. … Continue reading Retribution – A 1911 Project With A Story

A couple years ago Danner made a special release of their Tanicus boot in support of the release of No Time To Die, Daniel Craig's final film as James Bond. I grabbed two pair because I love good quality boots and I'm a huge James Bond fan. I immediately opened one pair, re-laced them to … Continue reading The Boots of Bond – The Danner Tanicus 007 Edition v1 and v2
The SBR Revisited
I have written about my patrol rifle and the B377 SBR in the past. I recently decided to combine the two rifles to make one rifle that handles all my requirements for a duty/patrol/truck/personal rifle. I will be doing a video about the end result soon, but I want to lay out the end result … Continue reading The SBR Revisited
A New Trigger – First Impressions
My last trip to the range revealed some issues with a trigger I was testing. It failed to perform and I was exceptionally disappointed by it. So I ordered a new trigger for the T1 SBR that I have been wanting to try. I've heard nothing but good things about it and it seems fairly … Continue reading A New Trigger – First Impressions
Range Time – Vacation Edition
This year was the first time since 2019 that I have been able to take a vacation. I knew I needed a break with a bit of time for myself and some fresh air, but I didn't realize just how badly I needed it. It was nice to get away for a week with less … Continue reading Range Time – Vacation Edition
The Wastelander Rifle
A while back I was having a discussion with my friend Roman as we were developing an idea for a youtube channel that eventually grew to be something much more involved. We had discussed on numerous occasions what premise there would be for us to explore our numerous interests and experiment with costly things. We … Continue reading The Wastelander Rifle
