Ronan Piontek interviewed both Jordan (formerly from A Better Way 2A) and I about our perspectives on self defense and carving out space away from mainstream gun culture, especially for minorities and others who have conventionally felt left out. Give it a read!
“You are welcome here” - The Advent of Marginalized Gun Culture in the U.S. — The Madison Journal of Literary Criticism
One day in the fall of 2024, I was forced to reckon with how I, and many of my peers, understand gun ownership in the United States. In a class discussion about police shootings, the professor challen...

I've got yet another compilation of airsoft event footage up, complete with woods, bunkers, a coastal artillery battery, grenades, night vision, and an enemy team getting rolled. This was a fun one, check it out!

My sincerest apologies to the dude in this room. A compilation of more footage from this event to drop soon, stand by.

I can't tell you how many people I've known who own a closet full of rifle builds but couldn't even survive a day in their own backyard in the cold months. This is a highly underrated topic, far more practical than any firearm, and this video addresses it eloquently.

It was nearly impossible to choose excerpts to share here - I would post the whole book if I could. Every passage is a mountain of wisdom playfully told, a timeless and colorful quilt woven by queer survival and breaking free that rings powerfully true from its era to ever more relevant today.

Sometimes, your gun malfunctions and your stage planning goes out the window. I've never had any issues with my G47 until this point. I'm chalking it up to a combo of lack of lubricant in a lot of rain on a gun that may still be in the break-in period - it ran fine after adding more lube.

Cold rain, cold hands, cold start. Still, these are often among my best stages of any given competition. It's a little counterintuitive to the idea of being warmed up, but there's something to having a set of fresh eyes and a fresh mind. Are there patterns you've noticed for when you're locked in?

Even if you've attended a stop the bleed class before, even if you're qualified far beyond this level, it's still good to take an hour every once in a while to attend. These can be found across the country and are often free, like the one I just attended hosted by the American College of Surgeons.

Shooting doubles is the most simple and efficient way to assess your fundamentals, especially sight tracking and recoil control. The idea is to only worry about the time between a first and second follow-up shot and your accuracy. Simply start your shot timer, take your time, and line up on target

Many years ago, the very first thing I put on my first AR-15 build was a set of steel Magpul MBUS Pros before installing a proper optic on that rifle. Even back then, I would have been better-served just saving that money for a quality optic.

There are no iron sights in this photo. There are at least two independent sighting systems on each of these rifles (the middle has three). The middle and the right don't need batteries to use their primary sight.
Redundant sighting systems are good. Optics are best in most cases.

After running a USPSA match with this rig, I have some initial thoughts. But first, let me outline what it even is the setup here. The belt is a Double Alpha Academy Lynx belt with the ratchet buckle, DAA ratchet inner belt, DAA XiP magazine pouches, Ben Stoeger Pro Shop BOSS hanger

The more I shoot, the more I appreciate just how much of this discipline is a mental exercise. Stage planning, reloads, and footwork aside here, one struggle really stood out to me during the whole match - target focus.

I’d like to take a moment to offer some initial impressions of the second version of the Lead & Steel Pandora PB-3 micro red dot sight. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my review of the first version on YT. That said, I’m even more impressed by this latest iteration!

The worst mass shooting in American history. Some of the most despicable violence ever committed here has been the very function of American politics - don't get it twisted.

I finally did it, I attended a USPSA match, and a classifier at that! This was a great way to start out with some simple stages and to set a baseline to see where I’m at.

Anyone, but especially gun owners, should be regularly attending stop the bleed classes. It's not just for the range - it's for the streets, the workplace, the home, anywhere.
