Camcorder recommendations requested
I am looking for an HD camcorder that writes to a memory card. My preliminary search shows several possible models in $1500-$3000 range. Main interest is finding something I can use handheld (or shoulder mounted) without shaking the unit every … Continue reading
Sideguard holsters everywhere
A friend brought me his revolver and two holsters for photos. Since his J-frame fits a new IWB Sideguard I have here, I took it out of the case…and found a Sideguard pocket holster within. Here it is: Erik’s work … Continue reading
Collective punishment

“Tipping Point” by Frank Clarke is out in print
I recommend Tipping Point — it’s a well-written, engaging and sometimes humorous “what if” political speculation.

This blog is supported by…
…the same ISP that supports Gun Rights Media and Armed Polite Society forums, A Human Right and my photo gallery: Geovario. I recommend them highly, both for the quality of service and for their strong support of RKBA.

Good quality, inexpensive pocket holster for J-frame or Charter .38
Met Luke Adams at SHOT show and was very impressed by the quality of his leather work. He makes holsters to order and they are a steal at the prices he charges. His designs are sensible and extremely durable — … Continue reading
