Building a Quality Survival Kit on a Budget: Part 2
It’s time to add up to $25 worth of goodness to the budget survival kit. This month I’m adding a trauma kit.
How Powerful Is .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum?
How powerful is the .500 S&W Magnum compared to common handgun cartridges? Very. Compared to other magnum pistol cartridges? Very, with one exception.
First Impressions: Smith & Wesson Model S&W500
Ever looked up when standing at the firing line of your local shooting range and noticed a nickel sized hole on the cover or ceiling above you? I’d be willing to be that hole was made with a Smith & Wesson Model S&W500.
Safe Gun Handling
I’m happy to see the population of gun owners grow regardless of the reason or circumstance. I welcome all of them. I encourage all of them to learn the safe gun handling as it is a responsibility that comes with ownership.
Draw Drill
Here is a little dry practice drill I’ve been doing lately to help me develop a good consistent pistol draw.
Passing Time During an “Ammo Shortage”
Are you using less ammo and spending less time at the range? If so, what are you doing with your time instead? I’m getting in a little dry practice, taking inventory, and cleaning the firearms.
Minimizing Exposure
I’m opting to avoid non-essential outings for a little while. It’s not fun and may not be necessary, but I think limiting my exposure to individuals currently experiencing varying degrees of panic is a good choice right now.
Building a Quality Survival Kit on a Budget: Part 1
Started a small project to build a quality survival kit on a budget. My first step is a container to place the contents of the kit in. Feel free to join in and build your own.
First Impressions: Heckler & Koch VP9 with Trijicon RMR
Runs like a champ. Makes longer shots remarkably easier. Will require some work to consistently find the dot in the window after presentation. Great pistol and carry optic option.
Successfully Installing a RMR on a VP9
A dab of elbow grease and a touch of finesse is what it took to get the RMR installed on the VP9. I’m excited and can’t wait to get it out to the range.
