Ever buy yourself something nice that you use often? A nice belt, a nice comb, or a nice razor? A nice kitchen knife arguably does the same job as a cheap Walmart special. Sometimes it's nice to splurge on high quality items - especial

It's not very expensive, all things considered. $299 for a single-user perpetual license (includes all future updates too) or about $1k for a team license[1]. If it saves you a bunch of time writing and maintaining the sort of componen

"Cocked & Locked" is usually how people refer to this - and it is easy to screw up. Under stress, people's fine motor skills vanish, sometimes resulting in the safety not being disengaged as you draw from the holster. Add

Every other 1st world country has much higher rates of other types of crimes. Again, you are asking why the US has so much crime - not why it has so many guns. Criminals are, by definition, criminals. Owning a firearm doesn't make so

For additional perspective, you can easily blow through 200+ rounds in one sitting - often under an hour, depending on what kind of drills you are doing. Many of the courses I've taken require a minimum of 300 rounds. This is part of w

P365XL, no? Although, a short grip is a feature for conceal carry, in my opinion. Even with nicer "winged" appendix holsters, the grip can still print fairly easily on fuller-sized handguns.

I'm still very curious why the P320 beat out the venerable Glock 17 & 19 combo in the Army's recent selection. It would seem being able to change from duty to compact is more of a gimmick than practical. I'd wager most P3

The US is vastly larger and more populated and more diverse (in terrain, culture, life, etc) than any other 1st world country. There is no meaningful comparison. Only criminals engage in crime, by definition. You are essentially asking why

This is the 9th circuit - which historically is very anti-2A. This decision is a bit surprising, in a positive way, under that light. I'm not a lawyer, but I believe the challenge was to the infringement on citizen's rights. Many
