This week we dip back into our extensive video library for a show on Michael’s treasures, 4 1911s that have a special meaning.

Sometimes, when a 12-gauge response might be or is required, the best choice can be the ubiquitous non-shotgun firearm, like the Mossberg Shockwave or the Remington TAC-14. Michael’s choice is the Rock Island VRF-14…semiauto, magazine fed and fitted with a 1000 lumen/green laser from Streamlight.

Custom guns can be fun to own and shoot. Over the years Michael had had several customs assembled out of parts from other guns. Some were home runs; some weren’t. Plus, an old friend’s gun.

This week, Michael talks some more on one of his “ancient” competition guns, a Rock Island hi-cap 9mm built for USPSA shooting. Also, the importance of self-defense insurance for the armed civilian.

This week Michael take a look at the new Steiner TOR-X, a green laser integrated with the fantastic Mantis X training system, The Mantis X. You can also use the Laser Training function of the Mantis X system, and you’ll always have your Laser and Mantis X with you! Also, a look at one of Michael's old warhorses, a Rock Island Armory hi-cap 9mm set up for USPSA.

This week, spurred on by an excellent article in “Shooting Illustrated,” Michael returns to one of his favorite topic, the PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) in an unobtrusive bag.

This week, Michael eschews politics for a hat, a pair of cowboy boots and a boatload of cowboy guns for a fun Saturday shooting a SASS match. He also introduces a new training device from a surprising place — Steiner Optics.

This week we take a look at Lucid Optics E7, an enclosed emitter blue dot sight. According to Lucid’s research, blue has a lot going for it in a “red” dot sight. Also, the final decision on which S&W Ultimate Carry snub to keep…take the gun; leave the cannoli?

Monsters rise to the chum…every single time...

Michael Bane recently had a chance to interview Doug Hamlin, the new CEO and Vice President of the NRA, asking questions that had been submitted by viewers/listeners. We have decided to run the video of the 40 minute interview unedited.
