In May of 2018, I spent a weekend at the NRA annual convention. It was at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas. It was HUGE, and it took me all day Saturday and a good part of Sunday to see it all. Every major firearm and firearm accessory manufacturer was...

I had someone email me the other day, asking why I didn’t do a review of the Glock I carry as an EDC firearm. While I don’t carry a Glock off duty, I am sure there are plenty of folks out there who might carry it as their EDC gun. And...
