Best pistol for women
I used to say, “I am a competitive shooter,” when people asked about my athletic background. This is a simple answer to a simple question, right? Well, I realized that my answer was too broad, considering the several disciplines in shooting sports. It is like someone who practices taekwondo saying they are a competitive martial artist when you ask them about their hobbies. I am sure you would like to know what martial arts they practice.
Now, when people inquire about my sport, I say that I am a pistol shooter focused on practical shooting competitions, AKA running and gunning. And, of course, you can picture a big smile on my face, specially when I say “running and gunning.” I have one as I write it down.

Hiking with Tools: Backcountry & Mountain Survival
In the world of shooting sports, self-defense, or law enforcement, training a high level of pistol accuracy is a fundamental skill. Whether you’re entirely new or well experienced, improving accuracy is an ongoing process. Being accurate without a time limit is the first piece to develop. After that, testing that accuracy at speed has been where I’ve found the most growth. We will cover both of these elements in detail.

BEST PISTOL FOR MOMS
As a Mom of four ranging in age from twenty to one-and-a-half, I have a strong opinion about the best guns for Moms. Moms don’t have time to mess around. We have careers to run, children to raise, sporting events to attend, finances to manage, groceries and meal planning, diapers to change, teens to wrangle, pets, and somewhere in all of that glorious mess, we carve out some “me time” and hit the range. What is the best gun for Mom? Before you rush out and buy the first pink subcompact off the shelf, let’s pause and investigate what Mom really does and doesn’t want in a handgun.

BEST PISTOL FOR SMALL HANDS
If you have medium to small hands, you might believe that you can handle any handgun, regardless of its size. And you would be right—to an extent. For years, I’ve handled everything from 2011 pistols to my Walther Q5 steel frame handgun and the standard PDP. However, my recent experiences with the Walther PDP F-Series have brought to light some important considerations for shooters with smaller hands when choosing the right handgun.
TRAVELING BY AIR WITH A PISTOL
No matter your final destination, when flying, we all have baggage. Some may adhere to the one-bag travel philosophy, while others may carry multiple suitcases due to the specific requirements of their adventure. However, a common interest among many travelers is flying with a firearm.
For those new to the process, understanding how to travel with a firearm can seem like a complex maze filled with confusing and often conflicting legal advice. For seasoned travelers, the process may feel like second nature. However, we all start somewhere, and it’s crucial to ensure everything is done correctly to avoid serious legal consequences.
