In June of 2022, I signed the contract to become one of the owners of DCF Guns. They have three locations in Colorado, one in Castle Rock and two in Colorado Springs. All three locations are equipped with a gun range, store, training facility, and have gunsmith services.

Walther just sent me the new PDP-F series designed for females with input from a lot of women in the industry. Watch to see how it worked for me and how it compares to other similar sized guns on the market.

Is the Mantis Blackbeard the ultimate dry-fire accessory for your AR? Watch no learn about this great training aid that saves you a ton of money on ammo. Best of all, you don't need to rack the charging handle!

Learn about all the new guns and gear from Primary Arms recent range day. See new PA optics in action as well as the IWI Masada Slim, Century Arms BFT-47, and more.

I just got one of the Mantis X10 Elite training systems. The amount of information you can learn about how you are affecting your shot is amazing. The great thing about this system is it works for dry fire, live fire, shotguns, bows, and even air guns. Watch to hear my first impressions on the system.

I just got a Glock 17 airgun from Airgun Depot. I think it makes an excellent training tool and I gave Tristin, Tickles and now Peaches babysitter, an introduction to shooting. Airguns are a great less intimidating option to instruct new shooters with as well as train for those more experienced. Watch to to see how Tristin learns with the airgun.

I just finished upgrading my Uzi Pro from IWI. This gun is truly iconic and a lot of fun to shoot. Watch to see what I've done with mine.

I just got the brand new Canik SFx Rival and took it to the range. The Rival is Canik's newest pistol designed for competition shooters with their feedback to be ready to go right out of the box. Watch to hear my thoughts on this new pistol.

I just got the new Smith and Wesson Shield EZ chambered in the all new 30 Super Carry from Federal Premium. The new cartridge is pretty exciting since it provides performance close to 9mm, similar recoil to 380, but the case is smaller in diameter so you get 20% more ammo in the same size magazine. More rounds is always a good idea in my book, especially for a carry gun. Watch to hear my thoughts on the new pistol and cartridge and see how it compares to the 9mm EZ.

I sat down at SHOT show yesterday with the guys from Federal Premium Ammunition to discuss the new 30 Super Carry. Watch to learn all about this new cartridge for every day carry.

Smith and Wesson just released their all new CSX pistol. It's about the same size as a Shield Plus and similar capacity, but it's a single action only with an external hammer. Think of it as a blend of a 1911 with a the Shield Plus chambered in 9mm. It has an aluminum frame so recoil is tamed a bit more than the Shield simply from the weight, but it's not overly heavy either. Check it out to hear my first thoughts.

Earlier this fall, I reviewed the Taser Pulse Plus. Aditionally, I had a donation to see me tased or not. Thankfully, more people donated to not see me tased. I was able to make a sizable donation to the Firearms Policy Coalition thanks to everyone's generosity. My friend Ron volunteered to be tased so we could still see how effective the Taser Pulse+ is. Be warned, there is a little bit of blood from the prongs when they're removed. Also, don't try this at home. We had trained medics on hand just in case.

For those occasions when you can't carry a normal pistol, the Ideal Conceal Pistol conceals in plain sight. It's an innovative option when you can't conceal a normal pistol or you're just not comfortable carrying in case someone sees it. Watch to see how this unusual pistol handles.

This was my first year passing out candy. Of course I had to pull a few pranks and entertain myself.

I came across the CoolFire Trainer recently and it's a really exciting dry fire product for beginners and experienced shooters alike. The CoolFire Trainer replaces your barrel with one that uses CO2 to rack the slide and reset the trigger providing a much more real and safe dry fire experience. It's awesome for the experienced shooter practicing since they don't develop the habit of racking the slide after every shot and for beginners to simply get used to the feel and operation of a firearm without the loud noise. It's a great tool for both groups to practice affordably. Watch to see how it does.

In this video, I trained an eight year old how to shoot a handgun. Some of the tips given in this video can be applied to beginners of all ages. It's important that they understand the safety fundamentals first before using a real firearm. Side note, the cameraman recorded this video with an extender. At no point was he in front of a firearm or behind the shooting lines. I didn't think much of this until I saw the footage a week later and realized people might think this is the case.

Smith and Wesson recently sent me their new M&P 12 shotgun to review. This is the first modern shotgun that S&W has made and is designed primarily for defensive applications. Watch to see my thoughts on this new bullpup shotgun.

Ever wonder what it's like for women when we go to buy a firearm? All of the assumptions made about what we want because we're women. Watch to see what it's like when the tables are turned the other way. Just don't be this kind of salesperson.

I used to always think if you needed to defend yourself, all you needed was a gun, but I recently experienced a situation where non-lethal force would have been a good option. A bunch of people have said they'd donate, but don't want to see me tased. So I added a second option if you would like to donate and NOT see me tased. Whichever one has the highest amount will decide. Make your donations here: https://www.gunfunny.com/product-category/tased/ Once donations exceed $200 to pay for my staff and expenses, proceeds will go to the Firearms Policy Coalition.

It's awesome to record content, but there is a lot of work involved that people don't realize. Check out just a little bit of what it takes to set up a range to record videos on.
