• An Alien Pistol

    I’ve started back shooting a Laugo Arms Alien pistol and I still like it. These pistols are a niche firearm that offer a unique design not found together in any other current pistol that I know of. And if you have had a chance to shoot one, you’ll know exactly what I mean by unique.

  • The Competitor

    The M&P Competitor, that is. After IPSC Nationals in November of 2023, I got started practicing and shooting matches with the M&P Competitor. That has worked out pretty well.

  • ON1 > LrC?

    Is ON1’s Photo RAW ‘better enough’ than Lightroom Classic to be worth a switch? Lightroom Classic has become my standard against which others are judged. To be worth moving to another program, it has to have something pretty good going for it.

  • 2024: The Year of the Bullets

    For my USPSA and IDPA practical shooting competitions I’ve been a huge fan and consistent user of the 1911 platform. But 8 or 10 rounds in a magazine gets old, especially in USPSA. So 2024 is going to be my year to shoot a high-capacity pistol. And there sure are a lot to choose from!

  • The Fall Updates

    Capture One, Lightroom, PhotoLab, and Photo Raw have all been updated this fall. The question for me is whether or not these changes make switching from Lightroom Classic a good choice.

  • WordPress Reconsidered

    I moved my websites off of WordPress several years ago due to the security problems I was having and the complexity of customizing themes. So I switched to Grav and found its straightforward approach was what I needed. I may be ready to use WordPress again.
