If You Bought a Gun This Week ...
If you bought a gun this week, you're not alone. While exact figures aren't yet available, gun stores across the nation reported record-breaking sales in the days following the national election.

"Sales have been… well… brisk. Maybe a better word would be insane. We've sold out of everything three times over, and we're bringing in more guns as fast as we can find them and call in favors. If you're waiting for something, let's put this in perspective. I talked to Stag the day before the election and they had received orders for 6,000 rifles in the last few days. They were out 4 weeks [backordered], and that was before" the election, reports Larry Correia of FBMG, Inc., a gun store near Salt Lake City, Utah. When I talked to him Saturday night, he added that sales had only gone up since the blog entry that quote came from was written, and that Saturday had been their biggest sales day in the history of the store.

FBMG was not alone in that. According to an AP report, on Election Day, Franklin Gun Shop (near Nashville, Tennessee) experienced . . . keep reading

Course Review: John Farnam's Fighting with a Handgun Class

I recently had a chance to take a class from John Farnam called Fighting with a Handgun in Columbia, SC. Overall the class was excellent, and I'd highly recommend John as an instructor. The class began on Friday evening at the hotel John was staying at (handily just across the freeway from my apartment). Everybody introduced themselves. The class was quite small, just four students, plus two of John's local instructors, Bill and Richard. With three instructors for four students, everyone was guaranteed a lot of individual attention. . . . keep reading

Colt Diamondback: An Oldie but Goodie
In 1989, when we were living in London, my wife Vannessa decided that she wanted a revolver. This was an unusual decision for her, as most of her shooting up until then had been done with semi-auto pistols, and her armory at that time consisted of a Colt Gold Cup, used for target shooting, and a compensated Colt Commander, which she used in IPSC matches, both in .45 caliber. So, we went along to one of London's better-known gun stores, the New London Armoury, owned by the eccentric Tom Collins. He was a real character, whose badly-fitting toupee was always a good indicator of what kind of a mood he was in. If the parting was aligned on a North-South axis, you knew he was in a good mood, but if it was awry -- watch out! Luckily, he knew us both, and Vannessa had bought her Gold Cup from him, so he was smiling as she told him what she was looking for. . . . keep reading
