Tag: Your Best Defense

This week we take a deep dive into the Tisas/SDS Imports D10 “X” — and that’s definitely a capital X — the new 10mm 1911 from Turkey. Everyone who has handled this gun has been…awed. See why!

This week we take a deeper look at the Executive Grade Taurus 856 and compare to some of Michael’s favorite wheelguns, plus some slick leather to carry them in. In our Your Best Defense segment, what if you’re caught in an active shooter incident?

This week Michael features the Steiner MPS, one of the most in-demand red dot sights in the country. Plus, the Wilson Combat .308 is finally completed, up and running, plus a little bitty boot gun from Heritage.

Or rather, short-barreled, as Michael legally converts his .44 Magnum Rossi Ranch Hand mare’s leg style pistol into a short barreled rifle through an ATF Form 1. Was it worth it? We’ll let you be the judge.

This week Michael brings you up to date on his longterm project, building his perfect AR-10. A shortage of parts and winter lethargy have slowed the custom Wilson Combat .308, but we’re getting there. Also, a look at the new Bushnell RXS-250 red dot.

We talk a lot about modifying guns, but not nearly enough about modifying holsters, which in many ways is more important for concealed carry than the guns themselves. Here are the basics.

This week let’s take a look at the easiest way to build what was once the pride of the OSS, a suppressed Ruger Mk series .22…with a twist. Build it like Johnny Cash…one piece at a time! Also, the Rock Island VRF14 not-a-shotgun firearm.

With the brand new Executive Grade 856 Defender .38 Special +P revolver, Taurus has fulfilled its commitment to step up. Michael loved the original 856 Defender 3-inch, but the Executive Grade takes the 6-shot revolver to a whole new, and better, level.

This week we take a look at Stoeger’s “Middle Bear,” the STR-9S Combat, the ideal training/class gun if you’re carrying the sub compact Stoeger STR-9SC. Plus, the MaddMacs/Tandemkross elite competition pistol gets beautiful, thanks to Cylinder & Slide’s Sean McSheehy, and our YOUR BEST DEFENSE tips for staying safe in an increasingly dangerous world.

This week we look at I.C.E. Training Company’s Intuitive Defensive Shooting class and talk about why this may be the ideal class for the flood of new gun owners.
