This Week on Student of the Gun: Colt Pistols and Rifles, Ammo Shortage Solutions, Blackhawk Diversion Cases

Lately, either folks are having a tough time finding practice ammo or they don’t want to shoot up all of their precious ammunition practicing.  Marksmanship and firearms handling are physical skills and as such they are perishable.  To maintain proficiency we must practice.

During this week’s episode of Student of the Gun, Paul guides the viewer through three separate areas where a shooter can both practice and save money.  We take a close look at practical dry-fire, using air guns, and .22 LR sub-caliber conversions.

In the hardware and gear category we give you a sneak peek as some brand new offerings from Colt in pistols and rifles.  We also review the Diversion line of gun cases from Blackhawk. You won’t believe what Paul is discreetly transporting.
