Ok, so a lot of people count on a helmet to protect their head from asphalt at 60 mph. So it isn’t so crazy to wonder if that same helmet might protect your noggin from a bullet. Well we decided to test out the theory. We started with a .380 auto and in the video below you can see the results.
Eyewear is a must have any time that you go out shooting. Whether that be at an indoor or outdoor range. Now there are some differences that are going to occur when you are outside vs. when you are inside with regard to light and reflectivity. Things that can vastly affect your ability to shoot as you normally would. So wouldn’t it be nice if there was a set of glasses that could adapt with you no matter what sort of light source you are going to be shooting in?
Oftentimes mixing digital technology with firearms is a mistake in our opinion, or at least it is executed poorly. Smart guns that require a special watch to be within inches in order to fire, biometric safes that fail to open when you need them to, or even the government trying to force you to use certain “safety” products…but how about one product that makes a lot of sense, is executed very well, and actually can make you a better shooter…a much, MUCH BETTER SHOOTER?! Check out this interview we do together with Ratigan from MantisX that is making a product that is revolutionizing the shooting world…it’s like “having an instructor in your pocket!”
There most well known is a windless style of tourniquet that uses a handle to lever that when twisted causes the device to constrict around the limb. There are also ratcheting tourniquets that work just as you would expect, a ratcheting device allows the tourniquet to be tightened and stay secure around the limb.
We’ve had a few podcast listeners request that we do an episode where we discuss the potential issues for friendly fire during deadly force encounters. While these sorts of situations are EXTREMELY rare (we, to date, have not been able to find one single instance where one concealed carrier shot another mistaking them as the bad guy while trying to stop a threat), this is still a relevant topic that Riley and Jacob provide some insight and suggestions on. Tune in!

Just like there are many ways to “skin a cat,” there are many, MANY ways to carry a gun. Appendix Inside the Waistband (AIWB) is just one of those, and it happens to get a lot of emotions stirred up either for or against it. It’s uncomfortable, the gun is pointing towards an “uncomfortable place,” I could shoot myself in the femoral artery, etc., are some of the reasons people will argue against it. But what are some of the pros of appendix carry, and do they outweigh the cons? Listen in on Riley and Matthew’s discussion to see what they think about it!
