New Range/Course Shoes… Nike Zoom Meriwether
As an Urban Gun Enthusiast I am unapologetically a city boy. I eat way too much fast food, have more gadgets than sense , and my only car is a sports car (I need a truck). However, when you add the Gun aspect to Urban life you sometimes find yourself dancing between city boy, operator wannabe, and outdoorsmen. Especially, if you take the training aspect of shooting seriously.
Well, From Nov 30th – Dec 2nd I will be attending Travis Haley’s Dynamic Handgun 1 course. It’s one thing to have leisure range shoes but I thought it time to find range/Course shoes that were a bit more functional and purpose driven. I am a bit of sneaker head so of course I needed something with a little style (Again City Boy Tendencies). Enter the Nike Zoom Meriwether.

VideoManny Pacquiao Fires Heavy Weaponry In Mexico
Came across this video on The Gun Wire while doing my daily blog Roll. Considering the war zone that is certain parts of Mexico, Manny had to be taken under heavy police escort just to go “bang bang”. It begs the question, would you keep shooting if you had to go to gun range under heavy police escort every time you wanted to shoot…. Hell yeah!

Smith & Wesson Introduces New M&P Pro Series C.O.R.E. Pistols
Just in time for the “Obama Is Going to Take Our Guns and turn them into license plates” era, Smith and Wesson introduces the M&P Pro Series C.O.R.E. Pistols. I love me some M&Ps, but I got to say, It seems like the Pro Series of pistols are getting really busy looking. Especially the C.O.R.E. It’s like someone took some T-Edgers to the back strap just to try to make it look more different from the standard M&P.
Apparently, C.O.R.E. stands for (Competition Optics Ready Equipment) . Ugh, the name sounded cooler before I knew what it meant. Competition Optics Ready Equipment sounds like the name for scuba diving products not a gun. However, I think the idea behind the gun is cool, and the gun looks cool even if a bit too busy.
The idea behind the C.O.R.E. line is a special mounting platform that allows you to mount the optic of your choice. This is very much a competition focused gun (obviously). Though I have done IDPA in the past and have plans to pick it back up, I am not really moved by race guns. I am very much self defense enthusiast oriented when it comes to my obsession with guns so the C.O.R.E. is ok I guess.

No Love for Loaded Chamber Indicators?
What is with the unbridled hatred for loaded chamber indicators? You can’t watch a review of a gun containing a loaded chamber indicator without the reviewer going on a ten second tangent on how they can’t stand the loaded chamber indicator. Even Brandon from Monderno can’t stand loaded chamber indicators and I just don’t see why?
I get it, a gun is always loaded so you shouldn’t have to depend on a loaded chamber indicator to tell you the gun is loaded. In a perfect world no truer words can be spoken, but in this reality we as humans are always seconds away from another f*** up. What’s so evil about a little non intrusive bar that sits slightly raised on top of your gun?
Don’t get me wrong, I am by no means advocating the complete and utter reliance of a loaded chamber indicator to determine the bang bang status of your firearm. When I had a gun that had a loaded chamber indicator I still safety checked the firearm even with the chamber indicator down. The thing is, it takes only one mistake, one squeeze of the trigger of an assumed empty firearm to have a really really bad day.

VideoThe Urban Gun Enthusiast Book Shelf (Video)
Wife love furniture but hate guns, want to hide you’re bang bangs from the career home invader, well the folks at Q Line Design got you covered. I am all for guns and gadgets and I definitely love the idea of hiding in plane sight.
I don’t know much of anything about this company but I really thought this was cool idea. Their website is pretty terrible but it gives you the general idea of what they do.

T-Dog Needs A New Gun…
I know, I know, I know, you’re wondering who the hell is T-Dog?!? Well if you’re a fan of the walking dead you might know him as the invisible black guy on the show. Now in it’s third season T-Dog has managed to make it through the first two seasons of The Walking Dead without being killed. Considering the genere of this series and T-Dog’s racial make up it’s fucking incredible that he’s still here.
However, upon watching The Walking Dead it’s fairly clear that T-Dog’s survival is due to dumb luck or some sick twisted joke the writers are playing on all of us. At this point it does not matter. T-Dog made it to Season 3 when he clearly wasn’t supposed to and now I think he needs our help to see the end of this series.

AK-47 America’s New Weapon of Choice
There is no secret about the fact that I love my AKs. However, in America I still think the AR is the golden child of most Americans and will probably remain that way. There is just too much bad blood between Americans and the AK for the AK rehabilitate its image in American minds.
I’ve said it before and ill say it again, AKs are like pitbulls, feared by most people absolutely loved by their owners. Owen from Snake Hound is one of those owners. When it comes to AKs Owen is brilliant. I still have products from Owen that I have yet to review, but they’ll be coming shortly.

It Can’t Happen To me and If It Does Oh Well…
People have no idea how many women I come across who live in the unreliable comfort of it won’t happen to me, and if it does there is nothing I can do about it. Forgive me but that is incredibly fucking selfish.
Everyone owes it to their family, friends and loved ones to take charge of their own safety however you decided to do it. The people that love you can’t always be there to protect you. When I leave my girlfriends apartment there is nothing I can do for her if someone kicks in her door, she needs to have a when he’s not here plan. That maybe guns, pepper spray, a bat, something to even the playing field.

THE X-FER From Armordillo Concealment
I don’t run a weapons mounted light on my CCW because most holsters designed for weapons mounted lights are the size of Ipads and with my keys, knife, spare mag, wallet, and phones there is already too much going on in my pants (That’s what she said).
Well I am pleased to introduce “The X-FER” from Armordillo Concealment. In the world of kydex revolutionary and ground breaking are not words you usually here, but I have to say the folks at Armordillo Concealment are trying to change that with the X-FER.
