Building a Quality Survival Kit on a Budget: Part 5
It’s time to add up to $25 worth of goodness to the budget survival kit. This month I’m suggesting a choice between throwing some calories in the kit or a bit of cash.
Combative Pistol
Here is my rather lengthly after action report of the Combative Pistol course I recently attended. This class is a must for anyone who owns a gun for self defense. It will level you up and change the way you think about self defense.
Train How You Fight
Training how you fight is an idea I really like and can get behind. However, it’s not possible to always put it into practice during live fire at range sessions, training classes or competitive events.
To Train or Not to Train?
