In recent years, Taurus USA has improved its offerings at every level, from its premium-tier Executive Grade guns down to its entry-level offerings like the GX2. Much of Taurus’ modern direction stems from the architecture, ergonomics and feature set built into its popular GX4 micro-compact, and when it came time to modernize its double-stack G2C design, Taurus borrowed much of what it incorporated into that earlier micro-compact into this affordable GX2 package. Watch our video above to see this EDC pistol in use on the range. Like the earlier G2C, the Taurus GX2 is a 9 mm Luger-chambered, subcompact semi-automatic…

(Continued from Part 3.) Applying P.A.C.E. to a Commo Plan For every communication requirement, always have an alternative or substitute option to accomplish the same task. For example, hand and light signals and whistles are appropriate alternatives for a security operation. As a last resort, a signal fire, fog horn, or air raid siren could be for emergency communications.  However, I should let the user make the final decision.  Stay off the beaten path as much as possible and increasingly so as the threat conditions escalate.  As threats learn and evolve, so should we.  Continually improve your security operation and…

I have to start this off by addressing my own bias—I’m a mutt-lover through and through. I grew up with Labs; my folks even bred them for a while when I was very young. But all it took was picking up one lab-mix puppy from the pound, and my entire family was converted to the mutt cult. We haven’t had a purebred dog since. (I’d also like to add that I have nothing against purebreds.)But mutts fill shelters around the country, and litters of accidental mixed breeds happen all the time. While the old saying “you can’t teach an old…

Let me make this clear–professional dog trainers are almost always worth the money. If you need help with the basic foundational work, are cagey about gunfire intro, or just want someone to untangle the canine mess you’ve created, the pros know how to do it.But, remember this: They have their specific methods. They have ways of communicating commands that are largely specific to them. And, whatever work they do to get your dog polished up will last only as long as you do your part.Consistency Is (Almost) EverythingHave you ever noticed how often dogs, particularly bird dogs, will obey one…

The fairly new A300 Ultima Patrol shotgun notwithstanding, Beretta’s modern tactical shotgun lineage arguably began with the inertia-driven 1200/1201 models and continued with gas-operated variants like the TX4 Storm that eventually morphed into the 1301 Tactical, officially introduced in 2014. In some ways, the ongoing decade-long success 1301 has helped cement Beretta’s position in the tactical shotgun market. Like the TX4 and A400s before them, all 1301s are built around an aluminum receiver and employ the Beretta B-Link short-stroke gas system, which is probably the single most important element that makes these such great shotguns. The B-Link system works in…
