Just in time for Halloween, I’m replacing the old holster and hanging a new skeletonized holster on my belt.

The best part of the entire FN HP package is that the updated grip design is outstanding.

What is the one bit of fitness you absolutely cannot ignore if you want to shoot a pistol well? And for that matter, what do the champions of action pistol shooting all have in common? Grip strength.

Selection of a load for self-defense use is a choice that is important because that load may be called upon to save your life. Fortunately, most major ammunition manufacturers make cartridges specifically designed for that use.

Less popular than 9mm, there is still a wide selection of .40 S&W ammunition for training and personal defense when other calibers are sold out. Despite conventional wisdom, gun buyers, new and old should consider the .40 S&W.

But the person who has trained for that day and is serious about defense doesn’t imagine that.
