Front Sight, Press

After I encountered the story of Keith Labrozzi, and that of Stephen Swan and Matthew Butler, I felt compelled to share a few of my lessons learned. I don’t know it all, I am no self defense guru, but I have been in and out of some damned spooky places and situations both in the States and third world countries of the Orient.

I don’t sell my reloads very often, but with the price of ammo these days, reloading is like printing money. I stopped by the local range to pick up a couple of boxes of ammo on the way to a match. It was two boxes of S&B 230 grain FMJ. The clerk rang up the bill: $38. What’s different now is that the war happened; ammo got scarce; metals went through the roof, but I don’t want to give up shooting because ammo has tripled in price. My aching pocket book brought to my remembrance the reloading press that had been carefully packed away and stored in the basement.

For those who frequently go in harms way, I highly recommend the second gun.

By Jim Higginbotham
We had a sad but interesting homicide in our county recently.  A druggist who is somewhat of a local “angel of mercy”, donating his time and a lot of his inventory to folks who are disadvantaged, was murdered in the parking lot of his drug store when he took a purchase out […]

Gun news

At the last session with Jim Higginbotham, we were doing the “tactical reload with retention” and I asked, “What if you are carrying a five-round gun and you have fired three rounds in a confrontation – should you reload at that point?” His answer was simple, “You go to your second gun.” The logic is […]

Sorry for the long silence, folks. I have been up to my neck in alligators (and it is difficult to remember that the original objective was to drain the swamp). Hopefully life is returning to an even keel. Thanks for your notes of encouragement and support.
