    Spider so big, I shot it

    Shot this bad boy in the studio (day job is a commercial photographer). Called an Usambara Baboon Spider from East Africa. Listed as the most aggressive spider in the world. Actually bit the handler during the shoot. Very toxic venom. Fortunately the handler was a big guy and only had a...

    Shield Range Report

    I carry my Shield 9 in a Comp-tac CTAC IWB. A great holster. I am also considering getting a Comp-tac Minotaur MTAC as I have heard it's even more comfortable.

    Fell in Love with the Shield

    M&P 9L Pro Series CORE

    I'm pretty loyal to my LGS but I'm tired of waiting for a 9 CORE so I started looking on GunBroker. Saw some going for slightly higher prices and am considering going that route if I can come at least close to retail. Never having bought from that site I am wondering if anyone has feedback...
