Every time I’ve attended a defensive firearms course, I have fun and come away reminded that I’ve got more work to do in order to increase my proficiency.

Yet Another Match with a Double Feed

One double feed in three matches out of ten with the same P229. Maybe it’s not just me? But I really don’t want to break up with this Sig.

It’s no secret. I love the Sig Sauer P229 Legion. I picked mine up back in March this year (2019) after drooling over Sig’s Legion series pistols since they were announced. I remember how excited I was. The very same day I picked it up, I registered it […]

Another IDPA match with interesting results. By interesting, I mean I royally screwed up one stage while managing do pretty well on other stages. The difference in this match compared to the last one, is that I can’t blame my screw up on my arthritis. The screw up […]

The argument over prioritizing between caliber and capacity when carrying a pistol for self defense is quite possibly the most polarizing topic among gun aficionados. In fact, I have spent many hours discussing this very topic with various friends and have mentioned this something to consider when selecting […]

IDPA Report May 2019

By Uncle Zo on May 30, 2019 • ( 1 Comment )

First match in May and my fifth overall was not what I was hoping for. It was a smaller turnout and I came in dead last place in the standard service pistol (SSP) division. Overall it wasn’t my worst performance in terms of overall time which was 218.42. […]
