Top 6 “Tactical Revolvers” You Didn’t Know Had Accessory Rails

admin 0

We’re big fans of wheel guns here at Patriot Caller. It’s hard to say exactly why revolver junkies have this particular affliction, when there are so many amazing semi-automatic pistols out there. For some, it’s just a simplicity thing. For others, it’s an issue of familiarity. Plus, there’s just the cool factor… John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, etc… When you see these guys, what type of gun is in their hands? It’s almost always a revolver. One question we get over and over here is, are there any revolvers that have accessory rails? You know, to attach tactical lights, […]

Interview With Wyatt Earp

Sean 0

Sitting in an old rocking chair was a graying man with defiant eyes. He had stared down some of the baddest outlaws that roamed the Old West.  Unlike many of his contemporaries this man lived to see a ripe old age of 80. During his time as a lawman, he worked some of the roughest boom towns man could imagine:  Dodge City and Tombstone.  When he turned 13, he snuck out of the family farm to join the Union army and fight in the Civil War… only to be turned away for being too young. This was Wyatt Earp and […]

The Patriot Caller 0

The best shooters in the world are the ones who strive to master the fundamentals relentlessly. Expert level shooting accuracy, whether you’re shooting a handgun or rifle, is improved with diligence and repetition. You might say there is no “magic bullet.” None of these 6 fundamentals will make the bullets hit the bullseye. Instead, they will help you focus on how you hold on target and squeeze the trigger, i.e. the variables the shooter actually controls. Jams, variations in ammo quality, misfires, etc. Those variables can be controlled for, but they aren’t controlled directly at the point of the shot. RELATED: […]

The 2 Guns Donald Trump is Packing… (On the Record, at Least)

The Patriot Caller 0

President Donald Trump has sparked a controversy or two in his still young presidency with his strong opinions. But one thing that’s not so controversial about this candidate is his choice in firearms. Often criticized for “shooting from the hip” when speaking to the media, many Americans may still be wondering exactly where “The Donald” stands on the carry issue. As a self-proclaimed lifelong New Yorker, one might assume that Trump doesn’t own any personal firearms, or that he’s had relatively little exposure to shooting sports, as he resides in a city well know for its restrictions on the 2nd Amendment.

Long Range Shooting 101: Top 5 Rifles and Calibers for Survivalists

The Patriot Caller 1

The art of shooting long distances engages a different set of skills and techniques than tactical, cowboy-action, or skeet shooting. Some may say long distance shooting is golf, whereas tactical shooting is basketball.

And, of course, these are just preparations you make to offset all the less-than-ideal conditions that you’ll almost certainly be dealing with in any real-world scenario. Back to the Fundamentals The key to performing nearly anything requiring precision under pressure is, to oversimplify a bit, practice. To […]
