You can shoot from a standing or prone position… but do you know how to shoot effectively from your car?
We found this training video for running a high-speed drill from your car. It’s pretty intense.
The Drive’s Josh Condon heads to Team O’Neil Rally School to learn tactical driving and firearms techniques, then combine both in a fake mission to escape a “hostile environment.”
Let us know… do you ever train in your car?
In the wilderness you may need to bring drinking water to a boil before you can consume it.
If you don’t have a pot or a pan this can be very challenging.
Here’s what you can do:
1) Dig out a hole about 12” deep in the ground
2) Past wet clay around the hole making sure there’s no gaps
3) Allow the clay to dry
4) Fill the hole with water
5) Place stones in a fire and bring to temperature
6) Place the hot stones in the water until it comes to a rolling boil
You can cook meat, shellfish, or fish in the boiling water… or wait until it cools down and use as drinking water.
Are you ready if someone enters your home in the middle of the night?
Quick answer might be “Heck Yes”
But the reality is that most of us aren’t prepared and ready for what to expect. No home invasion ever happens the exact way we expect.
Here’s a great training video we found to help you prepare.

Holographic sights work by using hologram technology housed in a durable construct designed for performance in extreme conditions.
A hologram records and reconstructs the light field that bounces off a 3-dimensional object. This is done in a way that allows depth information to be preserved. The recording also includes many viewing directions simultaneously. That way, the viewer can change perspective by moving their head.
A good analogy is the recording and playback of sound:
Holography uses a recording of the pattern of interference an object makes on light.
The reconstructed light field is so complete and accurate that the viewer cannot tell whether the 3-dimensional image he sees is live or holographic.
The holographic sight uses laser-driven holographic technology. It constructs a 2 or 3-dimensional image of a reticle, and the laser illuminates the hologram. Then the viewer looking through the sight window can see the reticle image in the distance, at the target plane.
The projection of the reticle appears…
The reticle image can be…
Onboard Computer Controls
Holographic weapon sights (HWS) use state-of-the-art digital electronics, including an onboard microprocessor. These components give the operator precise control of the illumination laser, including…
Heads-Up Display
In holography, all of the information required to reconstruct the reticle image is recorded everywhere in the heads-up display window. This is the technology that fighter pilots use for target acquisition. It creates an accurate image of a target even in poor-visibility conditions like rain, snow, darkness or cloud cover.
The heads-up display of a holographic sight provides the user with 2-eyes-open shooting. This eliminates blind spots and tunnel vision, and maximizes peripheral vision.
Durable Design
Durability is an important function of HWS. The sights are designed and built to be resistant to water, fog, shocks and extreme temperatures.
Even if the window is shattered or is partially obstructed by mud, snow or rain, it can still function. As long as the operator can see through any portion of the window, the entire reticle pattern remains visible on the target.
No Revealing Light Signature
All external optical surfaces of the HWS are flat and have anti-reflective coatings so no glare elimination filters are needed.
The projected reticle is visible to only the operator. Even GEN-III night vision equipment cannot detect the muzzle-side signature of the HWS operator’s position.
Night Vision Compatible
Night vision (NV) settings are available on some EOTech holographic weapon sights. The NV button transitions the reticle to a light spectrum below what is seen by the naked eye. These sights in NV mode…
There are 20 daylight brightness settings on an EOTech HWS. In addition, the night vision mode has 10 additional distinct brightness settings that compensate for…
Just as an EOTech HWS without night vision emits no muzzle-side signature, the EOTech HWS in night vision mode is also not detectable by enemy night vision surveillance systems, making it an effective stealth system.
Typically, a monocular night vision system and the HWS are mounted in tandem on the receiver of the weapon. The holographic reticle can also be witnessed with a head-mounted or helmet-mounted monocular night vision image intensifier system. This works even with a partial cheekweld on the weapon’s stock.

The Glock 48 is basically a newer version of the flagship 19, but a tad more modern.
The Glock 19 is by far Glock’s most popular handgun by far… but many have been asking for a single-stack/ slimmer 9mm for a while, and it has arrived.
There are mixed reviews on the Glock 19 thus far- some like the 43x a little better because it seems to be more palatable as a CCW.
From the manufacturer:
The G48 in caliber 9mm Luger is of similar length and height as the G19 but the width of the pistol is reduced for increased concealability and high carrying comfort. The magazine capacity of the slim 01 magazine of the G48 is 10 rounds. It comes with a silver colored nPVD coated slide with front serrations.
What’s your thoughts on the Glock 48? Add your comments, below!
Glock 48, 9mm
Most folks are either Glock lovers OR Glock Haters.

One of the most commonly overlooked items in a survival situation is a rain poncho.
It’s light, doesn’t take up a lot of space in your kit, and can save your bacon in several ways.
1. Keep yourself dry and avoid Hypothermia
Larry Vickers from Vickers Tactical walks us through his AImpoint Chellenge.
Basically, you shoot from 25 Yards in this manner:
For the first round you can take as long as you like.
Then, do the same thing in under a minute.
Here’s Larry’s video so you can see the full challenge:
