Are Tactical Reloads a Waste of Time?
Heath Gunns
Do you have an abundance of available time to train? Is your supply of ammunition endless or available monies for classes unlimited? I suspect that you are not much different than I am. I have family commitments, work commitments and financial constraints that all limit my ability to train and shoot. I try to make every . . . keep reading

Toy Gun Control
Marko Kloos
When you fire a gun at something, interesting things happen. Paper targets sprout holes, cans and bowling pins fall over, water jugs explode or leak, and watermelons make a very picturesque mess. All of those fun events can be triggered by the index finger of the person holding the gun, and a range . . . keep reading

Revolvers Don't Jam…and other firearms myths
Caleb Giddings
If you've been around the shooting sports and self defense community for any length of time, you've probably heard at least one person say that you should get a revolver for self defense because "revolvers don't jam." While it's true in the technical sense that revolvers . . . keep reading

Taurus 709 Slim -- A Good Thing in A Small Package
Duane A. Daiker
My first experiences with Taurus products were with the original Smith & Wesson and Beretta look-alike handguns. I considered Taurus to be a manufacturer of economical, but high quality "clones." Over the years, however, Taurus has become a true innovator in the firearms industry, . . . keep reading

CCM Profile: Tarra Mehrkens "Strength, Safety, and Survival"
Oleg Volk
I first photographed Tarra Mehrkens a decade ago. Aged 25 at the time, she looked fifty. Obese, graying, uncertain of herself, she was a stereotypical abused trailer dweller with low self-esteem and few prospects. She was in a relationship with an emotionally abusive sociopath and even then, the cycle of abuse was escalating. . . . keep reading

The Ordinary Guy: Robbery? What Robbery?
Mark Walters
Maybe you remember the city of Kennesaw, Georgia? A small bedroom community just north of the city of Atlanta, Kennesaw in the early 1980s was experiencing a spike in crime and looking for ways to stop it. In what many people deem a swat to the head of the Morton Grove, Illinois, city council and its ban on handguns, in 1982 the Kennesaw City Council enacted an ordinance . . . keep reading

Whatever Happened to Shoulder Holsters?
Frank W. James
You don't hear much about shoulder holsters anymore. To many, they are about as popular as spoiled milk and about as useful as a dial telephone or a typewriter. I am an advocate of shoulder holsters, or underarm holsters, as some refer to these designs, but I acknowledge their weaknesses. . . . keep reading

It Doesn't Have to Make Sense, It's Just the Law: Brandishing Law
KL Jamison
A Missouri homeowner was arrested after running off a pair of thieves at gunpoint. The thieves went to the sheriff's office to complain of being threatened at gunpoint, with a spurious story to explain their presence at the house. The sheriff bought their story, . . . keep reading

SIG SAUER Academy: Reality Based Training for Concealed Carry
George Harris
In this issue's installment I would like to suggest that the majority of citizens who carry for personal protection are not fully trained or prepared to respond to a confrontation with another human or group of humans that could turn deadly. In fact, the data that I have studied, and the people whom I have polled, would lead one to believe that once the concealed carry permit is issued to a citizen, training stops there. . . . keep reading
