From the Archives, 2016 Trigger reset is one of those skills, that if you were like me, when you learned it, it pretty much changed your level of accuracy instantly, especially with a pistol. I remember one of my trainers summarizing it for me: “Unlike a rifle, where the barrel is 16 to 20 inches…

You Might, Just Maybe, Want To Start Paying Attention To This
Yeah this is not good folks. Prepare Now because things are about to get WORSE.
What Is It For?
Another sage quip from John Farnam regarding keeping your fighting gun simple. This is a prime example of Competition “race” gun mentality bleeding over into the Practical Carry arena. “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Coco Chanel Peacetime/Wartime “Forward” slide serrations (forward of the ejection port)…
Learning from Insurgent Tactics: The Vehicle as a Weapon
From the Archives, 2015 The attack on Dallas PD this past Saturday by a man in an armored van represents a variation on a tactic that has not been seen since the DC Sniper Murders in 2002, where a man and his young accomplice, using a Chevy Caprice sedan and turning the trunk into a…
Subversion 101
From the Archives, 2018 Thanks to Viking Life Blog for posting this excellent video. It is imperative for the Martial Citizen to understand the tenets of Fourth Generation Warfare (4GW) if he is to survive in the 21st century. “The Highest Arc of Warfare is not to fight at all, but to subvert anything of…
Transition to Third-Generation Warfare
For further reading on this subject. I highly recommend The Breaking Point, Sedan and the Fall of France 1940. At 4:45 a.m. on September 1, 1939, the German army invaded Poland. By September 19, they forced the surrender of the last Polish army in the field. Eight days later, they completed mopping up the…
A unavoidable conflict
It’s a dire situation here in the U.S. and it is not being helped with FALSE promises on halting immigration and cheesy civic nationalism rhetoric which at the end of the day is nothing but hot air.
Dear Mr. President, You Will Not Energize the Base with Half Measures on Immigration
Half-Ass Promises with Half-Ass Results. The Status Quo remains unchanged as always. So much for the President halting all immigration to the US during the on-going Chinese virus crisis. See yesterday’s post. Today we have Politico… 497 more words via Dear Mr. President, You Will Not Energize the Base with Half Measures on Immigration —…
The Viking “Great Army”
The Operations of the ‘Great Army’ in Britain (865–79) The term ‘great army’, employed by several contemporary sources to describe this unusually large assemblage of Norse raiders, implies a huge horde of perhaps tens of thousands, but it most probably was not. Although no precise figures are given, it is highly doubtful that it numbered […]…
The Viking Onslaught
Big fan of this guy’s blog, Weapons and Warfare. When you have some free time (like now) be sure to read through his selections. The Anglo-Saxons commonly called them ‘Danes’ or ‘heathens’. To the Franks, they were simply ‘the Northmen’. But history knows them as the Vikings, possibly derived from the West Norse word vikingr,…
