Written by: Greg Ellifritz Things aren’t getting any better. Ammunition is still almost impossible to find unless you shoot shotguns or use an oddball caliber with no demand.

Written by Greg Ellifritz When the start of an article reads “What are the best guns for concealed carry?”, I usually cringe and run away. Most articles of this type are horrible.

Where Has All the Ammo Gone?
Written by Greg Ellifritz If you have tried to purchase ammunition in the last couple months, you are aware of the problem…there isn’t any available. None…at least in the common calibers.

Why I Don’t Like Groundfighting….
Written by Greg Ellifritz I’ve been grappling all my life. I started wrestling in Junior High. In college, I studied Judo and Japanese Jiujitsu (getting brown belts in both).
