We experiment with concepts in guns, gear and training; all while having conversations about interesting things, with interesting people. Yes, we will talk about guns, but not just guns because humans weren’t meant to be one dimensional. The gun is merely a tool and we believe the person is the true weapon.

  • Great Show

    I really like this show, the hosts are hilarious and informative. What I liked was it was obvious they had read the book they were talking about with the author. Many times, hosts don’t have time or effort to actually read the books. These guys were professional, had great questions and were easy to follow.
