two guns, one caliber.

Here’s an assignment for you Gun Nutz(tm):
Your task is to find a sidearm/long gun combo.  Assume that money is no object, and that anything goes, even NFA stuff.  Interpret “long gun” as liberally as you would like: carbine, rifle, submachine gun, whatever, as long as it’s fired from the shoulder.
Your only restrictions: the combo must [...]

you go, girl.

BBC brings us the heart-warming story of Rukhsana Kauser, a teenage girl living in Kashmir.  When militants came to her house to force her into marriage with their leader, and started beating her parents, Rukhsana and her brother basically uttered the local version of “Oh no, you di’nt”.  The girl disarmed one of the militants, [...]

a new and exciting way to make shooters spend money.

I just had an idea for a new shooting sport:
Pirate Action Shooting.
Allowable weapons are flintlock pistols, blunderbuss, and musket.  A cutlass is required, too…for failure drills.
Imagine the awesome stages you could design for PAS…

you can’t ban ingenuity.

I don’t shy away from debates on gun control, and the merits and drawbacks of legislative attempts to keep guns out of the wrong hands.
However, there’s one argument that immediately makes me disengage from the debate, because it shows that the person putting it forth has a.) not thought their own argument through, and b.) [...]

a vote for gun control is a vote for thunderdome.

Every martial art that involves direct unarmed hand-to-hand fighting has weight classes.  This is done because a bantamweight boxer will get his clock cleaned by a heavyweight ninety-nine out of a hundred times.  Sending a 115-pound fighter up against a 220-pound fighter is simply not an even contest, because the heavyweight can deal (and absorb) [...]

flash review: akj concealco.

I’ve carried handguns for roughly *mumblegrumble* years now, and I’ve developed some preferences and opinions when it comes to holsters.
For comfort, nothing beats a good pancake-shaped belt holster.  For concealment, nothing beats an inside-the-waistband holster.  The comfort level of an IWB, however, is greatly dependent on holster materials and design.  I’ve had the best success [...]

bloggers with guns, new england edition.

I guess it would be sloppy to skip the Northeast Bloggershoot update I promised.  You’ll have to make do without multimedia content, however, because all the video clips on my camera have been offered up (at slightly different angles) by other folks with better cameras than my Pink-‘N-Manly little Kodak.  Also, I was so distracted [...]

a good day to burn some powder.

It’s Sunday! It’s Northeast Blogger Shoot Day!
In an hour or two, I’m heading south to the sooper-seekrit location of the Blogger Shoot to meet up with the rest of the crew, to spend the day shooting guns and engaging in Good-Time-Having.  This year, I’ll actually bring my camera, so I can do a proper NEBS [...]

supernatural monsters, and the people who riddle them with bullets.

Here’s one for all the folks looking up “gun for hunting werewolf” on my blog:

Larry Correia’s novel Monster Hunter International is out from Baen, and available for your immediate purchase.  (The image above links to the Amazon page for MHI, but you should also be able to walk into your nearest Borders or Narnes [...]

is this thing on?

I got to talk to Cam Edwards on the NRA News show for a little while tonight.  A few of my loyal minions out there in Intertubes land actually listened in on that chat, so I’ll leave it up to those folks to decide if I sounded coherent, or merely babbled randomly for ten minutes.  [...]
