This week has been an absolute mess and this episode almost didn’t happen this week. Due to a freak snow storm and a couple of fallen trees, I was tied up all weekend and wasn’t able to sit down and start planning the podcast until after trick-or-treating on Halloween. I got a little gabby as [...]
About a year ago I was interested in getting involved with shooting sports. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go the IDPA or USPSA route, I just knew that I wanted to move beyond standing still and slow-firing at a target a few yards away. I was intimidated by the sport and wanted to [...]
It is Tuesday once again and I am one podcast episode away from reaching my first goal of 10 consecutive episodes. Once we reach that goal together, we’ll baby-step our way to 25, then to 50, and then to 100. I don’t want to get too ahead of myself, but I’m having a lot of [...]
This week has been a mess in terms of producing my weekly Shooting The Breeze Gun Podcast. I was unable to set time aside to record this episode due to prior commitments, so it cam down to recording at the last minute. And by last minute, I really mean that (I started recording around 5:00am [...]
Earlier this week I posted some range video featuring my Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm. I’ve been shooting this pistol a lot as of late. I find it to be lots of fun to shoot and very comfortable. The fact that 9mm is reasonably priced doesn’t hurt either. In that earlier post, I stated that [...]
It is Tuesday once again which means I have a shiny new Shooting The Breeze Podcast Episode (6) for your viewing/listening pleasure. This episode, much like all of the others, runs about an hour long. All of the links and information talked about in the show can be found in my show notes below. Over [...]
Over the past couple of weeks I have been posting range report videos. These have gotten some good feedback and were easy enough to do with the help of my trusty Flip Camera. I wanted to do more though, so when I saw that Contour HD Body Mounted Cameras were marked down in price, I [...]
This post calls for noise makers, party hats, and confetti! Posting five podcasts has to be some sort of milestone, even if it is a small one, right? Not only is my Shooting The Breeze Podcast posted, but Episode 5 is a day early. I was actually planning on posting this tomorrow but since it [...]
Earlier this week I posted the first of four range trip videos from August 21, 2011. That first video showed me handling the Smith & Wesson M&P. This particular video is much shorter and features the second gun of the day, the Springfield XD Sub Compact .40S&W. The recoil of my carry gun is a [...]
This morning I was browsing the Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association Forum when I stumbled onto yet another news article on a Philadelphia Mob Attack. I clicked through the link and watched the short report of the incident. The incident apparently took place in May but adds to the growing tally of attacks. It would seem [...]
Last week I launched the pilot episode of my formal podcast, Shooting The Breeze. I was pretty nervous in putting it out there, which is funny considering the number of videos I have produced on Stogie Review, but the butterflies were chased away by a handful of great comments. My initial plan was to produce [...]
Last week I went out on a limb and posted my video on Selecting a Pocket Pistol to Suit My Needs on the Gun Rights Radio Network Forum. In my post, I asked for some feedback because I have been thinking about doing a gun podcast. Armed with some solid feedback, I sat down and [...]
After the painstaking process of selecting a pocket pistol, in which I became the new owner of a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard, I was eager to get out to the range and see how it performed. On Saturday I woke bright and early, packed my range bag, and headed out the door with my new [...]
Over the past couple of months I have been in the market for a pocket pistol. You see, I carry a Springfield XD Sub Compact regularly but there are times when it is just a little to big and bulky. For those times, I needed something small that could be discretely slipped into a pocket. [...]
A few weeks ago I wrote a post suggesting five Gun Podcasts for gun hobbyists to enjoy. In that post I made mention that many of those shows were a part of the Gun Rights Radio Network. Since discovering the network, the vast majority of my podcast listening has been centered around shows that are [...]
