Weapon Mounted Lights and Lasers
The CCW culture sees its fair share of innovations, discoveries, or what some might even call trends. An example? The move to the small, pocket-capable .380ACP single stack pistol circa 2008-2009. Everyone had to have a Ruger LCP or equivalent. This was followed by the micro 9 craze about 4 years or so later – […]
Recent Pistol Announcements
The NRA annual convention just wrapped up in Dallas, TX, on Sunday. I have been watching various on-line resources looking for new product announcements coming from the show. I have to be honest, I did not see many. Maybe I have not been looking in the right places, but I did not see anything that […]
YouTube’s New Firearms Policy
Last week YouTube announced another change to their policy regarding firearms related videos. As some of you know, YouTube gun channels have been under the microscope for so time now. Most gun channels have been demonetized, and the rules that govern the “acceptable” content keep changing. Some channels have also received enough “strikes” to be […]
Ammo Management
I had an interesting exchange at the range this past weekend with another member that caused me to think a little bit. This person saw me loading magazines out of my plastic MTM reloading boxes and asked me if I kept all my ammo in “those”, pointing to my box of reloads. I responded no, […]

Spare Ammo – Is it necessary for CCW?
There are many subjects that cause debates among practicing CCW holders- auto vs revolver, 9mm vs .40 S&W vs .45ACP, and whether a civilian needs to carry extra ammunition. Given the changing landscape of our world, I have become more interested in this aspect of CCW. When I first started carrying a concealed handgun over […]
Fight the Urge
Summer’s here and the time is right for training on the range. OK, so not exactly how the song goes, but you get the idea. This is the time of the year where many people around the country start to experience warmer weather. The higher temperatures make going to the range more tolerable in some […]
The Sig P320 Compact
While our main business is selling holsters, we do like guns here at Gunner’s Alley (we are a Class 3 FFL, by the way). We have noticed over the past several months that there has been a big increase in the number of holsters being ordered for the Sig P320 series. Most orders are for […]
Training Drills
In our last newsletter, we briefly mentioned the passing of renowned firearms trainer Todd Louis Green. TLG left quite a mark on the training community, and his passing has left quite a hole. I knew of him because of his excellent website pistol-training.com. I use the resources, articles, and training drills on his website on […]
