Assembling an AR-15 isn’t that hard, but there seems to always be a few steps that I fudge up a bit, one of the, is installing the pins trigger guard.

My adventure in carrying a concealed firearm started this year when I finally received my state-issued CWP (Concealed Weapons Permit). I had been shooting for several years, primarily a full-sized CZ 75 BD model handgun. I loved shooting it, but it was a little large and heavy, so I ordered a CZ P-01 handgun (a great choice for a double-stack, all-metal carry pistol) while I was waiting for my CWP.

So much so that Kalashnikov announced they’re going to hire 1,700 new workers (a 30% increase) to meet their export demands for the AK-47 rifle. The demand is most likely due to conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere.

When it comes to cars I like them light and nimble. Horsepower is fun too, but not if you have to lug around over 3,000lbs of car. When it comes to gun accessories I’m all about light and minimalist gear too, the lighter the better I think. That’s if you can go light without sacrificing strength and quality. Montie Gear’s Lightweight AR Rest is one of those products that I think is both light and strong.
| Electronic hearing protection is one of those accessories I think everyone should be using. They block out loud gun shots but they amplify quiter sounds, they’re perfect for having a conversation at the range or listening to commands during a class.

John Wick was a pretty cool movie and Keanu Reeves really trained pretty hard for that film, remember our post about Keanu Reeves shooting 3-gun? He looked pretty darn good. He’s just as bad ass in John Wick 2. Glock even had the pistols he used on display at the 2017 SHOT Show. Here’s the gun he uses in John Wick 2.
