Ever try to insert your magazine into the magazine well of your pistol and not get it seated?  That example is why you should under-load your magazines to eliminate this issue.  Most magazines fully loaded are tight and have no room to flex if pushed on.  Under-loaded, the cartridge on the follower will drop down into the magazine lips and allow you to seat the loaded mag.  Try it and see what we mean.  Here ya go . . . When the ATAC Guy's Tom Clarke and Lenny Bolton tell most people they should ...

Dry practice is the SKILL BUILDER!  If you don't currently dry practice with your weapon systems, you should.  Dry practice will make you a much better shooter in a very short time frame.  The key to successful dry practice is to do it slow, do it exactly as you would normally do it each time. Many repetitions will ingrain your thought process and body movements in to a single fluid movement to put your sights on target each and every time.  Dry practice incorporates all of the sequence of shooting, including trigger control, which so many of us are lacking.  ...

Caution:  Always get expert instruction on rope & repel techniques BEFORE you attempt any of it on the rocks.  Hanging on a rope is the last place you should be trying to learn a technique without a rope master hanging with you.  You can die if something should happen.  It takes experience and training to pick the correct anchor points from natural objects.  Something that looks solid might not be, depending on the situation. Knowing and understanding what an acceptable anchor is and the different types of anchors, is a ...

Barack Obama’s careful effort to hide his anti-Second Amendment agenda is starting to come undone. The latest evidence is found in the budget he sent to Congress this past week. As we reported last fall, NRA was very successful in having a number of provisions included in the annual spending bills that are important protections for our rights. Obama grudgingly signed the Fiscal Year 2012 spending bills that contained those “riders,” although in ...

Unfortunately, this includes too many American gun owners. It's part of my job to do something about that.

NRA questions what part of the Fast & Furious did Obama and Holder play in the scheme of things?  Is this an attempt to regulate more gun laws on the American people by allowing firearms to "walk" from gun stores? you bet! Recently, a federal district court in Washington, D.C. issued a ruling upholding an Obama administration policy that requires federally licensed firearms retailers in states bordering Mexico to report multiple sales of semi-automatic rifles. The case was brought by two NRA-backed firearm retailers and ...

This question is about the newer "plastic" handguns such as Glocks, Springfield XD and other firearms made of the tough new plastics.  No, the barrels, springs and other parts of the guns are not plastic.  Even the shape of the plastic frame will show up on x-ray machines.  Don't be stupid, don't try it.  Check the gun with your luggage.  Anything else is dumb and gives the good firearms owners a bad name in the eyes of the law.  check out this article and video on ATAC TV.

Thanks to Dave Grossman and his well written article.  In these rough times, people must realize the "wolf" is not far away and they may be confronted at any time.  I chose to be a "SHEEPDOG"!!!!  Read on . . . By LTC (RET) Dave Grossman, author of "On Killing." Honor never grows old, and honor rejoices the heart of age.

In our time, that may mean social disapproval, public scorn, hardship, persecution, ...
