The Gun Digest Book of Concealed Carry by Massad Ayoob
Posted by: | Comments
Prolific gun writer Massad Ayoob is recognized around the world as one of the foremost experts on the concealed carry and use of firearms. Not only has he written for more than three decades on the subject, he has also taught citizens on the use of deadly force through his Lethal Force Institute. Additionally, he has been called as an expert witness in trials all across the United States of lawfully armed citizen who have been wrongly accused of using force.
Who better is there to write a comprehensive book on concealed carry?
The Gun Digest Book of Concealed Carry was written by Massad Ayoob is designed to be a reference manual to the citizen who has decided to carry a firearm for protection. Ayoob covers a wide range of topics including hardware, mindset, and the law.
I’ve carried a concealed firearm for more than 15 years, and I found this book to be a fresh look at carry methods and gear. For the citizen brand new to concealed carry, this book should be one of your first purchases. It can likely save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in holsters, belts, and even firearms. Where no such book existed when I started carrying, I tried virtually every holster and carry style before finding out (the expensive way) much of what Ayoob discusses in the book.
“Gen 4″ Glock is not “RTF2″ Glock
Posted by: | Comments[Update 12/18/2009: Gen 4 Glock photo is here.]
The “Gen 4″ Glock is not the same as the RTF2 Glocks that were announced at the 2009 SHOT Show.
A lot of people were referring to the RTF2 finished Glocks as a ‘fourth generation’ Glock pistol, but they were not a generational change. The Gen 4 Glocks are expected to have a different finish than the current generation, but the RTF2 finish is not likely to be it.
I have received a number of e-mails about the Gen 4 and RTF2 naming conventions, thus this post, which I hope clarifies the naming conventions.
The Gen 4 Glock is expected to be shown at the 2010 SHOT Show.

Steyr AUG with Trijicon TriPower Video
Posted by: | CommentsTake a look at this video featuring the new Steyr AUG/A3 with a Trijicon TriPower optic.
The AUG/A3 is the civilian (read: semi-auto) version of the Steyr AUG combat rifle. The AUG/A3 is a gas operated .223 Rem carbine with a 16″ barrel, yet, due to the bullpup design, it is only 28.25″ long overall.

More and more information about the Gen 4 Glocks (fourth generation) has been trickling in. Based on what I am seeing and hearing, this is a significantly different Glock, not merely a refresh of the old design.
As I confirm the information, I will report it here.
Gun Dudes: A Podcast for the Masses
Posted by: | CommentsDo you have a group of guys that you sit around with, and talk guns, crack jokes, and quote action movies? If so, you’ll feel right at home with the Gun Dudes podcast.
A lighthearted, actually fun approach to discussing firearms, the Gun Dudes are a group of guys that cover topics from concealed carry to IDPA shooting with a liberal helping of humor thrown in to keep the conversation interesting.
While each show will have some specific topics (also known as toe-picks), the Dudes also start each program with a bit of news that highlights citizens using firearms to defend themselves and their families. A regular segment, the Misfire Award, discusses a criminal act that stands out from the crowd due to its over-achieving level of stupidity.
