First up, we have Richard Johnson dive deeply into the mindset required to apply deadly force in his piece “This Is Why Your CCW Won’t Save You”. Building on his years of experience as an LE officer, he gives us an expert’s perspective of what you need to understand regarding effective self-defense.

Next up, we have Robert Sadowski consider the advantages (and disadvantages) of the classic curved versus the modern flat trigger on the 1911 pistol.
