Why have a light rifle?
To carry the balance of the weight in ammunition, of course! Volquartsen Ultralite .22 action in Blackhawk Axiom stock. The sight is a C-More attached sideways in a custom mount. Black Dog Machine drum with 50 rounds. And a Ruger 22/45 Lite … Continue reading
My favorite photo of the day
Alexis Nicole stopped by for a photo shoot today. Gremlin took an immediate liking to her. I can see why — she’s a very impressive and multi-talented young lady.

Two very dissimilar Walther pistols for concealed carry.
Sam Hoster does good work.

Personal weapons can be quite personal.
Back: my stock CZ SP01. Front: friend’s custom SP01 with a trigger job and slightly less somber finish. I went to the store with CZ75SA in mind, ended up getting SP01 because it felt perfect in the hand. 75SA came … Continue reading

Cheyenne
AP-Rhino 223 rifle, Vortex 1-6x scope, attitude and aptitude all her own. And the other side of her persona: she’s a home-schooled farm kid who readily helps out her parents. And she’s a teenager, a girl who likes pretty dresses. … Continue reading

Maddie gets her guns
Maddie is Cheyenne’s younger sister. At 11, she’s already a competitive shooter.

Nighthawk Custom T4: new on AllOutdoor
A particularly refined compact 9mm 1911
Good use for a laser
Since pocket pistols usually have abbreviated sights, I find lasers very helpful for accurate shooting. Older shooters whose eyes can’t see the sights up close benefit even more.
Cimarron .38 Navy Colt: new on AllOutdoor
An 1870s design updated for practical use
Credit where it’s due
