While many know that it is unwise to flip on the lights when going to investigate a potential burglar in the home, many these same people will continuously run a flashlight when searching their homes. This is bad light discipline.

I am old-fashioned and still cling to the idea that a handgun is primarily for personal defense and that every shot should be aimed and hit something. I know that there are handgun competitions where a high volume of fire is acceptable. This has led to gun modifications that are not really a good idea. Trigger pull weight is one such modification. By far, the most common handgun type you'll find in my hands is the 1911 pistol, followed closely by DA/SA revolvers. Both types of guns have SA or DA trigger systems that lend themselves to modification.

Robert Parsley was watching television one evening when he heard a noise outside. He quickly grabbed his Smith & Wesson Model 360 revolver chambered in .357 Mag. to investigate. The doorbell rang several times. Parsley looked out the window and saw a man tugging on the locked screen door.

I had the pleasure of watching Episode 2 on Tuesday night, accompanied by fellow Season 1 finalist Chris Cerino and his family. We both had the privilege of competing in the NRA's inaugural National Defense Match at Camp Perry a couple of days before and it was great to be able to catch up on events since we last met at the Bianchi Cup earlier this year. As the video played, we both chuckled at some of the insider jokes and watched as outsiders as the narrative unfolded.

We have received many, many comments on AmericanRifleman.org since implementing comments on article, blogs and videos. Some have been stimulating, some have been questionable and some have made us rethink ideas that we believed were clear.

Mouse-gunners of the world, rejoice. Your day is here, your time is now. The moment is at hand for your pipsqueak hero, the .380 ACP, to claim its spot on the podium of popularity.

Shoot as much as you can. In doing so, you learn more about the techniques and equipment involved, enjoy the company of other gun folks and help preserve the precious rights to do so. In this economy, shooting can be an expensive proposition, so anything that productively burns powder has at least some merit. For a gadget that's perfect for this line of reasoning, check out J&G Sales in Prescott, Ariz. You will find a new product that strikes me as a good idea. It's a conversion kit for most 1911 pistols in 9 mm Luger or .38 Super that permits the use of 7.62x25 mm Tokarev ammo. Please note the large quantities of this stuff that is currently on the surplus market.

Early Monday morning I received a call from NRA Secretary Edward J. “Jim” Land, Jr., USMC (Ret.). Jim has the difficult, and at times enviable, job of running the corporation part of the Association, including the NRA Annual Meetings and the NRA Board Meetings. A shooter’s shooter, Jim is double distinguished, was a Marine officer in Vietnam and is one of the fathers of the modern Marine Corps sniping program.

With the current riots in England being featured nightly on the news, flash mobs are quickly becoming a real safety concern. It is even becoming an issue here with attacks at the Wisconsin State Fair last week, among other criminal acts committed by large groups of people.
