On Shoulder Holsters

By
February 20, 2009

Frank details the pros and cons of several different shoulder holster systems in this post, which does an excellent job of discussion the various retention and safety issues inherent in shoulder rigs. For my part, I’m not a fan of shoulder rigs – because I don’t work around machinery, a hip holster isn’t a...

TechWell Grips and Magazine System

By
February 20, 2009

If you’re a competition 1911 shooter in either USPSA Single Stack, Limited-10, or IDPA ESP, then you’ve probably experienced the fun and entertainment of trying to do fast reloads on the relatively small magazine well on a single stack 1911.

Breaking news!

It is totally okay to compare Former President Bush to a chimpanzee, however if it is even remotely plausible that you’re comparing President Obama to a chimpanzee YOU’RE A HORRIBLE RACIST. I can’t deal with the Obama veneration any more, I seriously can’t. In fun news, the number of Americans that disapprove of Barry’s...
