Holster Review: Alien Gear Cloak Tuck

Thursday, October 23rd, 2014

Alien Gear contacted me and asked if they could send me a holster. I accepted. The sent me a holster, two shells, and all of the clips: Background on what I’ve learned about holsters. I used to carry leather, when I worked in an office. Then, I started working outside. I build houses. The leather […]

Fence jumper

Tuesday, September 30th, 2014

So, a guy with a pocket knife jumped the White House fence, ran across the lawn, got into a door, overpowered a female secret service agent, and made it all the way to the green room, where he was tackled. And only because an off duty agent happened to be there as he was leaving. […]

Switchblade blades get an exception to TN law banning weapons. I’ll stick with the Spyderco Endura Wave. It comes out of the pocket open and had fewer parts to fail.

Flexible Phone

A samsung prototype with a flexible plastic touch screen. You know, if you used to put a roll up screen into something the size of, say, a pen that was also a phone, we could all have 9 inch computer screens in our pockets.

I’ve been asked this a lot in the last several weeks

Tuesday, January 29th, 2013

Several of my non-gunny friends in the real world say to me “hey, Uncle, I need a handgun before they’re banned. What do you suggest?” I note that they don’t currently own guns yet have a fear they will be banned so they want one. Which is weird because the press tells me they only […]

Note to Junior

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013

No, not that Junior. There’s a fellow who worked for me for the last several months, in his 70s and missing an eye. He’s been around the block and the world. Often told me of when he ran businesses and how, now, he ran a backhoe or pressure washer for me but he ran his […]

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012

I’ve waited a long time for this. I want one box for all my data, computer and internet stuff. Doesn’t matter if I hook it to a TV, keyboard, lapdock, whatever. I want once device to rule them all that I can stick in my pocket. Then hook up to stuff as needed. The three […]

Putting the A and F in ATF

Went to the local liquor store (where my Baptist friends won’t say “hi”) when I saw this: Silly liquor store, it’s not a Tommy gun, it’s a PPSh. That aside, it’s a rather odd thing to see vodka come in a gun shaped container. The guy working the counter saw me taking photos and showed […]

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

Caleb: Sure, I didn’t need training. A pocket gun was enough. I got lucky. I also probably won’t get in a car crash today, but I’m still going to wear my seatbelt when I go buy lunch this afternoon. I probably won’t cut my hand today, but I still have disinfectant and bandages in the […]

Simplifying

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012

I’ve spoken of diversity in handguns before. Concept being that, basically, options are good. And they are. But I’ve now changed. I now exclusively carry one of two guns that differ only in size. And I have similar holsters for each and they’re always in the same spot. No more pocket guns for me now. […]

Marketing and the firearms industry

Friday, April 13th, 2012

I had to laugh and share reader mikee comment on marketing over the years: I lived through years of hype over many things, some old, some new. I have read: Of the inherent perfection of 38 Special duty revolvers. Of 357 Magnum revolvers’ superiority over 38SPL. Of how grizzly bears only respect 44 Magnum, no […]

Mentioned Smith and Wesson hyping their new M&P model that they’re advertising. The ad targets concealed carry. But no one knows what it is, definitively. So, what say you? My top guesses are single stack models or a new caliber offering, like maybe a .380 pocket variant. The other thing is that it could be […]

Thoughts on pocket pistols from Sheriff Wilson

What 5 firearms would I purchase, should price nor practicality be an issue?

Friday, January 27th, 2012

I’m with Robb, I tend to gravitate toward functionality (i.e., carry guns, practical rifles, and some plinkers). But guns I want were price not an object and I was tossing all practicality out the window: 1 – GE Minigun. At six thousand rounds per minute and with only one pre-86 model that pops up for […]
