Hunt, Compete, Defend
The Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 640 is a wonderful little 5-shot J-frame revolver. It’s a surprisingly good shooter for such a small package and can fit a couple of roles in the defensive toolbox.
It pains me to say it, but it looks like CherryBalmz is no more. I wish this wasn’t the case because I became really fond of their Black Rifle Balm gun grease as my go to lubrication for the firearms I run hard.
Folks have been asking me what my competition rig looks like for quite some time and until recently I didn’t have one. That’s changed. This post talks about the belt, the holster attachment system, and magazine pouches that I now use for USPSA.
The Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite is a fun reasonably priced 22LR rimfire target pistol. It lends itself well to recreational target shooting. It might also work for small game animal handgun hunting. Or serve as a foundation for competitive shooting.
The Primary Arms SLx RS-10 is a solid value-priced red dot sight that will work well on intermediate cartridge rifles or pistols intended for recreation, concealed carry, or home defense purposes.
The Blackbeard is a game changing AR-15 dry fire device. The MantisX is a fine dry fire feedback and diagnostic aid. The BlackbeardX, Mantis’ new flagship product, is greater than the sum of the Blackbeard and the MantisX.
