I just got the Concealed Carry Raven purse from Primary Arms to check out. I do have to say I'm a bit of a purse snob, but I was pretty surprised with the quality and overall design of this purse. Watch to see my thoughts on the purse and how I would use it for every day carry.

Recently I went on my very first hunt ever in Florida and it was for an alligator! Talk about going from zero to 100. It was an interesting experience and it was more of a hunt because I wanted to get a nice one for my very first hunting experience. It was definitely an interesting experience to get my gator. I had a great shot on my gator so it did not suffer at all. It was a bit anti-climactic following two days of searching for my gator after my hunting buddy Brandon Herrera got his in a few hours. For anyone wondering, the meat and hide are being sent to me so nothing will go to waste.

On my recent trip to Florida with Smith and Wesson, Caldwell Shooting Supplies, and Crimson Trace we had a friendly two gun competition. It definitely reminded me, competitions aren't really my thing. I just don't have enough time to practice for speed, but hey, my shooting was accurate.

I just got some new range apparel from LA Police Gear. LAPG has a huge selection of name brand as well as their own line of gear and they constantly have things on sale making them a excellent place to order your range clothes from. In this video I talk about my Reebock Women's Sublite Cushion Tactical Mid Boot, 5.11 Wyldcat Pants, and the LAPG Soft-Shell Jacket.

Check out a few of the awesome machine guns I got to shoot last week at an event in Florida sponsored by American Outdoor Brands. Full auto and lots of it. Just don't ask what they had to do to get all the ammo.

I'm really excited to review the all new M& P Shield 9 Plus from Smith and Wesson. I'm really excited to see another high-capacity micro-compact for every day carry on the market. This new Shield is the same size as the old one, but with similar capacity to the P365 or Hellcat. Watch to see how the new Shield Plus stacks up.

I just got the Springfield Hellcat Rapid Defense Package (RDP) to test out and see how it stacks up to the competition. At first glance, it looks just like the original Hellcat with the addition of the compensator and red dot, but there's a few more things to know as well. Watch to see what I think of the gun so far.

With all of the new firearms owners out there, I thought a guide to handgun safeties would be useful. Watch to hear about the different kinds and what is preferable for personal defense and things to know about each. The most important factor is, whatever you choose, train with it!

With the price of ammo and so many new shooters, laser trainers are the perfect way to introduce new people to shooting as well as training for experienced shooters. Watch to hear what my friend thinks about using this product as a training tool to introduce kids safely to firearms.

Here's my recap of the awesome time I had at the Gundies. Forge Relations put on an awesome event where it was exciting to see new gear, drive tanks, see amazing animals, and of course see all my industry friends.

Dave and I pretended to be first time gun buyers. We decided to switch roles a bit - I wanted a big .45 and he wanted a .22. It was tough keeping a straight face, but the masks helped. Afterwards, we told the salesman we were just kidding and told him we appreciated his patience.

Choosing the right concealed carry option as a woman is really hard. Knowing what is right for you is a challenge and won't always being the same depending on how you dress. Some options just don't conceal well or are not flattering depending on what you are wearing. Watch to hear about some versatile options I have found. Whichever option you choose, it is important to train drawing from that carry option or holster so you can draw smoothly and safely if the need ever arises.

Hey everyone, I just got done reviewing the Vector SBR Enhanced in 45acp from Kriss USA. This unconventional firearm has an intriguing design with the Super V recoil system. You can also get the same gun with an SB Tactical brace so you do not have to go through the wait for an SBR. Watch to see how well the Vector SBR performs.

I just finished testing out the new Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Optic Ready Compact Pistol chambered in 9mm. It has a 4" barrel, comes with two fifteen round mags, and best of all seven plates to make it compatible with all of the popular pistol red dots out there. Red dots are all the rage lately for carry and competition guns because they are so much faster to use. Watch to see how it performs and my thoughts on this new pistol from S&W.

Drinking Ocean Spray and skateboarding is okay, but shooting and Ocean Spray is better! For all the Karens: This was performed on a closed isolated range with a very large backstop. As you can also hear, every single round hit the target. Multiple safety precautions were taken to ensure every round was in a safe direction.

The FK BRNO PSD is a pretty amazing new design that shoots a proprietary round called the 7.5 FK and has the ability to shoot 9mm, 40 S&W, and 10mm as well. The 7.5K round has muzzle energy similar to a 44 magnum with a muzzle velocity of around 2000 fps. It has some pretty amazing ballistic performance at long range as well. The pistol itself looks a bit like like a CZ and Hudson had a baby from its ergonomics. Check out my initial thoughts of this beast of a handgun.

Ever think your Scorpion Evo Carbine was too long? Convert it to a bullpup now with the conversion kit from Manticore Arms. It brings the benefits of shorter overall length while maintaining rifle classification and decreases muzzle climb because the weight distribution is closer to the shoulder. The bullpup conversion can also be applied to the Scorpion Evo pistol with an SBR tax stamp. Fair warning, once you go bullpup, you may never go back. Just kidding, the conversion is easily reversed if you want to change back to the carbine configuration. Watch to learn more about the benefits of converting your Scorpion Evo into a bullpup.

Many of us struggle racking the slides on semi-auto pistols with strong springs. When I first got started shooting, I couldn't rack some slides to save my life making those guns essentially unusable. I soon realized it was not about body or hand strength, but technique. Watch to learn how you too can easily rack the slide on the toughest of pistols.

Smith & Wesson sent me the new Performance Center M&P 9mm Shield to review. I was a fan of the original 9mm EZ, but do I feel the same way about this one? Find out.

A lot of us stuck at home because of the coronavirus are wanting to get into shape, but can't get workout equipment because they're out of stock everywhere. The solution is simple, do your quarantine workout with the guns you have. Here are some great workouts you can do using the guns you have to increase the gains. LOL

I finally got to take the Kriss Vector 22LR out to the range with all the Corona virus craziness and spent some time on the range with a few gun bunnies. LOL. Happy Easter Everyone!

I sat down with Derek Hicks from Lead Star Arms today at SHOT Show to discuss the progress on Palmetto State Armory's eagerly anticipated MP5 clone. Lead Star took ownership of the PSA-5 project about three months ago and had good news to share on their progress including that they anticipate release within the year!
