Armed Citizen® Today In Rancho Cordova, Calif., a man approached a home on the evening of March 19 and allegedly began threatening to kill the occupants inside. They called 911 and repeatedly told the man to leave; however, he reportedly broke a window and entered the home, whereupon one of the residents shot him.

Releasing a new revolver, especially one aimed at the concealed-carry/self-defense segment of today’s firearm market, with plentiful micro-9 mm, double-stack pistols, seems about as sensible as releasing a new automobile with a standard transmission. I mean, modern automatic transmissions are far from the clunky, three-speed horror shows of the malaise era, right? The manual transmission is an anachronism, championed mainly by drivers who harken to a romanticized version of the past where automatic transmissions were expensive, slow and took all the driving experience out of the hands (and feet) of the driver. You know, much like how semi-automatic handguns were…

Ballistol is a gun cleaning oil. If my sources are correct, it is composed of white mineral oil, potassium oleate, ammonium oleate, benzyl alcohol, amyl alcohol, isobytyl alcohol, benzyl acetate, and anethole. One key characteristic of Ballistol is that it emulsifies with water. This makes it an excellent cleaner for firearms that use black powder or corrosive primers. The best solvent for black powder and the salts left by corrosive primers is hot (almost boiling) water. Ballistol works well in conjunction with that hot water. Ballistol is also non-toxic, and can also be used on wood and leather as well…
