Purses for Concealed Carry
August 16, 2014 By
There are a lot of people who don’t advocate purses for concealed carry. I understand the thinking. It is easy to have the purse taken from you. At the same time, a lot of times women wear clothing (or lack of clothing) that makes it darn near impossible to carry on the body.

The Smith & Wesson Model 31
July 28, 2014 By
by Home Defense Gun Staffer Bob Charlie’s First Gun – The Smith & Wesson Model 31 It’s funny the stuff that sticks in your head. Personally, I have the odd habit of remembering guns from movies. In a lot of cases I couldn’t tell you the name of the actors when the film is over […]
The Thyrm Switchback
July 26, 2014 By
This is a guest post by Scott Sylvester Thyrm Switchback While I stray away from equipment and gear reviews, every so often a product comes out that is actually worth talking about.

Caracal Firearms
July 11, 2014 By
by Home Defense Gun Staffer Bob Caracal Firearms Normally, I would have a hard time brewing up too much sympathy when a bunch of oil sheiks lose some money on an investment. It’s kind of like Hugh Hefner complaining that he couldn’t get a date for Saturday night. Gee Hef, you sure got it rough.
Another Take on the Taurus Judge
July 7, 2014 By
This is a guest post by Andrew Betts The Taurus Judge seems to benefit from a far more aggressive advertising campaign than its predecessor, the Thunder Five. As much as it deserves to fade into obscurity, it just won’t die. The ammo makers have done a pretty good job selling people what they want to […]

Ruger SP101 Review
June 10, 2014 By
Ruger SP101 Review in .357 Magnum Introduction: Semi-autos seem to be preferred by many shooters, and are standard for law enforcement and military almost worldwide. However, there is still a market for revolvers, or old -school wheel guns as some call them. Simplicity of operation, and reliability are very attractive features.
The Ruger 10/22 for Home Defense
June 9, 2014 By
A good choice when looking for a rifle is the Ruger 10/22 for home defense. Now I wouldn’t want to hold off the zombie hoard with it. I would much rather have an AK or an AR-15 for that.
New Life for the M1911
May 24, 2014 By
by Home Defense Gun Staffer Bob New Life for the M1911 It might be that I’m just getting contrary as the years go by. For some reason the more popular something gets the less interest I seem to be able to muster up for it. It might just be that when something gets popular I […]
Ruger SR9 Review
May 15, 2014 By
We found a great Ruger SR9 review. This is a really functional, nice looking pistol at a great price. I like it for a home defense gun because it packs enough of a punch with 17 rounds, yet will fit well into the hand of a smaller woman.

Thureon Carbines
May 5, 2014 By
By Home Defense Gun Staffer Bob Thureon Carbines At one time or another every gun buyer considers the pistol caliber carbine. A rifle is easier to shoot, probably offers a little bump in muzzle energy with the longer barrel and should give a noticeable increase in accuracy.

Glock’s Pocket Pistol
April 22, 2014 By
by Home Defense Gun Staffer Bob Glock’s Pocket Pistol The ebb and flow of gun design has always interested me. For some reason the gun industry likes to take a concept, fuss with it, rework it and redefine it until the initial guns in the genre have little resemblance to their current brethren, at which […]

We’ll say it over and over. Men and women have different needs when it comes to firearms. .380’s are good compact guns for females either around the house or as a concealed carry for women. Remember, if it is uncomfortable you will find reasons not to carry it and won’t have it when your really […]
