The Lionheart LH9 I have has been put through hell in my hands. It has endured more than 15,000 rounds in a period of under 2 months. It was not cleaned for 8,000 rounds and saw no spring changes except the one spring that failed right around the 15,000 round mark. That is not too bad. It lasted longer and was pushed harder than any other gun in my collection. I have alot of respect for this pistol. But it was time to get the springs replaced finally and get it checked out.

When a prepper is selecting a food for long term storage and preparation, they typically look to the military for inspiration. They see the military storing MRE's and other shelf stable food items in warehouses for years at a time. The problem is that copying the military in this manner and thinking the MRE's are good for long term sustenance is a dangerous mindset.

My first experience with a gun magnet was when I got one in my Gunner Crate shipment. I really recommend getting the Gunner Crate shipments as a gift or monthly since almost everything is just a terrific value. Anyways, the things the gun magnets are advertised for is something I want to evaluate to see if it truly is as handy as it claims.

When I originally got the Honor Guard, I felt that I was getting a pistol that would change the game for manufacturers of small pistols. The pistol is modular and seemed to have everything I needed in a pistol from the size and the rough grip texture, to the orange paint on the front sight for fast acquisition. But there is one thing that this pistol gives be problems on that I just can not forgive.

I have owned a number of pistols in an attempt to find the perfect pistol for everyday carry. When the S&W M&P Shield first came to the market, it impressed alot of people and became an instant hit. On the other hand, many people figured that the Shield was going to be a flop. It was figured that many other companies already had small, single stack 9mm pistols that were not that popular, so how could this new pistol be any different?

The SAR CM9 is an updated generation of the pistol we called the K2P. The K2P was actually known as the CM9 to Sarsilmaz, but ended up having its' name changed when it was imported. The CM9 Gen2 is supposed to be an upgrade to the original CM9 with a more streamlined design and more attractive aesthetics. I have no experience with the original design, but it would seem that the CM9 Gen2 may have missed a few things or gone overboard in a few of the upgrades and changes.

The SAR9 was a personal purchase that I made almost immediately after SHOT show 2018. The pistol shot well enough at range day, but wasn't anything special, really. I figured that I would get this pistol because it seemed to have promise in being a good Glock alternative.

When you are heading on the range or just chilling out with your firearm, you may be one that likes to have a chamber flag that indicates that your firearm is safe and not loaded. So why not have a chamber flag that is more than just a bland and boring color like yellow or orange?

An ambush is a big action to undertake, no matter the enemy numbers. There are alot of moving parts to this action, though the concept is simple in nature. You must have a crystal clear objective, communications, understand the timing, targets, roles, and have patience when needed while also being able to lay hate on the enemy immediately with great effect.

I do not entertain the idea of prepping or militias with too much frequency for a very specific reason; I do not have much stock in either. The two seem to be activities rather than a mindset and these organizations forming militias tend to be populated by people who have ideas not based in reality. I feel that the current state of the militia movement is more toxic than it is organized and useful.

Total Resistance is a book that describes how to set up resistance cells and resist an invading force. The book is not a new book, and it was authored by a military officer out of Switzerland. Interesting thing is that the Swiss are generally neutral and much of their defenses are based on preparing for resisting a major invasion force. This book covers much of the ways in which a resistance force can set itself up and operate in general, whether it is in recruitment or targets for sabotage.

The SAR9 is a new pistol that is being imported by SAR USA. The pistol was supposed to be an overkill competitor to the Glock 17. This came about because the government of Turkey was offended that the Turkish military was considering Glock pistols over the domestic offerings available to them. Turkey as a whole is typically very prideful, as they should be. They take things very seriously and personally if someone is not pleased with a product. The pride that Turkish manufacturers have in their products goes back many generations and they have a sense of honoring the reputation of themselves, their families, and their culture.I respect that level of dedication to quality.

There is a short list of firearms that I was looking forward to testing in 2018, and the SAR9 was on it. On the surface, it seemed to be a blend between a Glock 17 and the H&K VP9/P30 series of pistols. But, on the inside, the pistol is entirely different. The pistol is basically like a fully modular Glock on the inside. Everything in the frame is removable and is beefed up compared to a Glock. But shooting the pistol is not quite like shooting a Glock.

I understand that for alot of people, it is popular to try to supplement skill by getting the lightest triggers and the snazziest gadgets. I usually find these types of people to be the lowest on the totem pole in the skill section. If you are offended by this observation, you are guilty of this and should be ashamed of yourselves.
