Rapid Fire “Two rounds center mass!” “On the command of THREAT!” “THREAT!” A series of hammered pairs cracks through the air as each trainee fires. After everyone has holstered a single trainee at the end continues to fire round after round until his firearm runs dry and goes to slide lock. “Nice shooting Tex!”...
Muscle Memory II Muscle Memory… The other day we had two students come through Artemis for an Art of the Pistol training session. Both were extremely good shooters, and their comfort with firearms became instantly apparent the moment they stepped into our Lab. We will call them Alpha and Beta Alpha it turns out...
Je Suis Francaise I am angry. Disgusted really. I have been watching the news in France as I am sure all of you have been. The fact that two of the victims of the terrorist attack were from Southern California makes it all that much more infuriating. I am disgusted by apologists… I am...

The Mighty .45ACP “I carry a .45 because I only want to shoot the guy once.” “One shot with a .45 is worth 5 shots with a .380” “I don’t need to carry extra magazines… I carry a .45” Ughhh. Many of us that carry .45’s have given that round mythical characteristics. “Go ahead and...
The Hero and the Modern Man. A couple of weeks ago I wrote a satirical piece about “victim disarmament zones”. Unfortunately, there are times that life does indeed imitate art. Last week was such an occasion. In Oregon a social misfit sought to inflict his angst on the world by attacking and murdering innocents...
