From the Desk of John Rourke – September 25th, 2014
I am looking at holding a guest post writing contest mid-October through mid-December. These contests help give me a break as far as writing and finding things to post. If interested in entering go ahead and “warm up that keyboard”.

Had a friend of mine contact me. He was wondering if he should trade his M&P 9mm pistol for a .40S&W Shield. This question was done on Facebook and opened up the entire “what caliber is best” debate. I answered him initially and then sent him a private message with more info. My answer? For his level of experience (low) and knowing he is not going to practice very much I felt the .40S&W cartridge in a small Shield frame would not be a good match for him. Never said the 9mm was better – or not – just the .40S&W would not be a good fit for him. Beside an even trade used-for-used would be rip-off for him.

Man, how I wish I could go back in time when I could buy XM193 5.56 Federal brown boxes for $5.99/box.

I recently got a chance to look at a Kel-Tech SU-16. I had heard a lot about them over the years but never actually have seen one. To be honest – not real impressed. I am not saying it is crap – just my initial impression was it looked to be made by Mattel. I feel the same way about their pistols. I have never shot one so my opinion is worth what you paid for it. Maybe they perform a whole lot better than they look.

From today through Sunday I will be AFK (away from keyboard). I will have limited Internet access so I will have little ability to work on any website problems and respond to comments. Curious what I am doing? Check out my Instagram and Twitter for updates.
