Howdy All

Greetings Primary and Secondary. As some of you may have noticed, and probably enjoyed, I took a hiatus from posting here. I have been building Quantified Performance, LLC. This has soaked up most of my free time and even harder to find than time is things to say. As the company built, matches were conducted,… read more »

It is not the Odds, but the Stakes

There is a sad movement of firearms owners who strive for the absolute minimum. “Three rounds, at three yards, in three seconds” is a popular misguided stat. Too many people think this is a standard for which to strive. What is fun about stats are the averages and the important outliers. I personally cannot predict… read more »

The Secrets of Effective Low Light Room Clearing

I’m going to share the secrets of effective low light room clearing. Now remember, these are a secret – they are also according to me.

The Priorities of Holster Design

There should be some thought into selecting a proper holster for your needs versus choosing a poorly made leather sock to throw a gun in (extra points subtracted if magnets are involved). There are many options available and unfortunately there are even more consumers duped into buying inferior products that have flashy Facebook advertising with… read more »

Error 404: File Not Found

…getting experience doing things in practice so if it came time to use that particular technique, skill, etc. ‘for real’ your brain wouldn’t be left saying “error 404: file not found.”

Posting to be Understood on Social Media

There is an assumption on both ends of social media – the poster who assumes you understand their frame of reference and the reader who applies their own frame of reference when it may not apply. Sadly, most posters don’t take into consideration the reader probably doesn’t know anything about the poster and make assumptions… read more »
