Some ammunition is highly collectible and can bring very high dollars. Just like anything collectible, value depends on rarity and condition. Sadly, your ammo is not rare and condition is poor.
Not a new phenomenon but definitely more prevalent these days. I first started shooting competition while with 2/75 in the early 80's. In the late 80's early 90's several of the guys who regularly shot down in Area 6 were SOF types with relaxed grooming standards. As a matter of fact, the USPSA...
My usual EDC is a Glock 19 but sometimes I will carry other pistols. Regardless of what I'm carrying, I always carry a reload or two. A wise man once told me that "the only time you can have too much ammo is when you're swimming". Having been in the ocean with a large quantity of ammo, I can...
When Jerry Barnhart first started teaching not named Military SOF units he was quick to mention that he had no Military or LE experience and knew nothing of tactics. He said, what I can do is teach you to shoot a handgun very fast and accurately and if you think that is something that can be a...
I've been carrying a Glock with an RMR on duty for almost 4 years now. I started looking at RDS sighted handguns because of aging eyes causing difficulty picking of the sights in intermediate light situations. So far the Gen 1 RMR has been rock solid. I change the batteries annually and coat the...

A 1940 Garand restoration will be a difficult and very expensive endeavor. A correct dated 1940's barrel, and the correct keystone springs will be extremely hard and extremely expensive to find. The flush nut sight, correct guide rod, and unmodified op rod will also be expensive and very hard to...
I visited the Cody Museum a few years ago with the NSSF Industry Masters and we were given access to some behind the scenes areas. Definitely worth the visit if you get out to that area.
Off-duty I carry 1 spare mag for my G19. My plan is to shoot, as required, till empty unless I get to a point in the situation where things slow down enough where I actually start thinking if I should reload. At that point I'll make an evaluation if I should or not. I've always called a...
I've changed gear several times due to short term injuries or conditions over the years. As I get older and deal with arthritis and other mobility issues, I think about and evaluate tactics quite a bit. I'm now paying for the things I put my body through in my misspent youth and there are...
