The compressed high ready he preferred did, in fact, come directly from the FAMS. So there's absolutely a real world foundation for it. One can certainly argue that their mission profile is unique...
It's not just the Shivworks school of thought. The L shaped draw has a lot of benefits in the real world when we contemplate the reality that a defensive draw isn't always occurring with distant...

It should be noted that motor oil that has been run through an internal combustion engine is far nastier than the stuff fresh out of the bottle.
The unused stuff isn't exactly cuddly because of...
...until it burns off or evaporates, leaving a gummy residue.
But it's better than nothing if you're really strapped.
If you're not, use something that doesn't suck.
With pretty much...
The actual STLE certified Lubrication Specialist on that podcast (the dude in the WV hat) doesn't use grease on his guns, FWIW. And he tells his clients not to use grease in their guns. And not to...
I use lasers on guns that have terrible sights. Examples would be a Ruger LCP or a S&W 638. The laser is a massive boon to being able to hit at speed with those guns.
The laser in general is seen...
The new adapter is pretty frickin' sweet:

...and the texturing on the Zhukov itself is pretty choice, too. It's grippy but not so sand-paper-eqsque as to mess your hands up too badly on...
This is my protocol.
I also order carry ammunition by the case so I usually always have plenty on hand. My carry gun has become my teaching/training gun on more than one occasion. I just treat...
The priming compound goes into the primer in a little ball that gets compressed into a shape that resembles a disc. Think of it like a Ritz cracker.
Then think of subjecting that Ritz cracker to...
Unless it's a European formulation, it's not actually fully synthetic because "fully synthetic" is a marketing term in the US instead of an accurate descriptor of how the base stock is made.

Lubricants don't work the way most assume that they do:

ATF doesn't really do anything special for us in the firearms context. It will likely work but that's because nearly anything...
A pump gun built from the ground up to be a defensive gun without some of the drawbacks of the 870 or Mossberg 500/590 series guns would be welcome.
Integrated mounting of a dot is nice...but not...
That's the problem with almost all the plates out there for the M&P. They sit the optic high enough that the sights won't cowitness.
Dawson sights of the right height will fix that...but they are...
The PM session is full.
I have one slot left in the AM session.
What lube?
Anything that doesn't leave some sort of sticky residue or burn off at too low of a temperature. WD-40 is bad about that. Rem-oil is bad about that.
Slip 2000 (not the EWP, as...
A deliberately small Home Defense Shotgun today.

Wilson Combat 870, never fired before

Degreasing with alcohol? Yes.
You know how smudged up your smart phone gets? All that stuff is on the grip of your pistol plus other stuff besides. Lint, gun oil, dead skin, firing residue...none...
I'm not sure how much longer that will be the case. Northern Virginia is on track to become DC entirely with all the consequences that entails. They're voting for the same kinds of politicians to...
I'm not sure what I'm looking at with that second photo because of the lighting. My assumption is that the pattern in question is the four pellets in the top white piece of paper with the rest of the...
It's a granulate material, but the granulate is securely held in place by some sort of top coating. So unlike actual skateboard tape it doesn't shed grit into your holster or into the gun. It also...
Someone found this gem of Bill Jordan doing some fast draw hip shooting. There's even a slow motion video capture of a quick draw in it at around the 3:55-4:00 mark:

Cut it to the shape of the exact spots you want more traction for on the pistol, degrease that area with isopropyl alcohol, then apply. It...
A mini-version of this discussion happened in the LE UOF thread, which is a wealth of video evidence of pistols having problems:
