    Survival Pistol Finish

    A few years back, GUNS & AMMO ran a seven or eight part series on building your own 1911 starting from just a frame. The last article dealt with finishing it. I made a note of certain info that appeared in it. Finishes are tested for rust resistance by putting them in a cabinet at a fixed...

    What sacrifices do you make to pay for your firearms habit?

    I've taken a second, part time job at a gunstore. More specifically, a Gander Mountain that opened in my neck of the woods about a year ago. The pay is only so-so, prevailing area wages for retail help, but the employee discounts are killer! Plus, we get to cherry pick over the trade...

    You didn't say exactly WHEN in March this was going to be. Last spring, Massad Ayoob and Chuck Taylor did a unique dual class together. I see they are going to repeat it March 16th through the 19th in the Jacksonville FL area. Details at...

    Massad Ayoob's book

    Ah, Ayoob. People either love, or hate him, there doesn't seem to be too much middle ground about him. I've done several classes with him, which should tell you which side of the argument I come down on.:) Two things: 1: His LFI 1 class (about 20 hours of range time and 20 hours of...

    Great Lakes area handgun training sites

    I live in upstate NY, and I have the same problem. Finances limit my training to what I can take within a reasonable driving distance of my home. Fortunately, some of the best trainers travel around the country rather than maintain a single "school" at a fixed location. Chuck Taylor...
