Defending your home from life-threatening invaders requires a serious tool that won’t let you down in the heat of the moment. If that time should come, make sure you’re ready and properly equipped.
Here are a few 1911s for home defense on which you can depend.
This one's a great option if you’re interested in having caliber diversity. This combo model allows you to use 22TCM or the drop-in 9mm barrel. It's a great option for plinking on the range, and the 17+1 capacity adds extra value as a home-defense option.
If you want something with a history of proven firepower, the TAC Ultra FS in 45ACP is right up your alley. Best of all, you can pack in 14 rounds instead of just eight. Mount a flashlight to the accessory rail to top it off for home defense.
Looking for a reliable nightstand pistol to keep next to your bed? The compact size of the TAC Ultra CS won’t hog space and still gives you the essentials for a home-defense pistol.
For those looking for high velocity and don’t mind a little extra kick, consider using the TAC Ultra in 10mm. It has a high-visibility front sight, a tough parkerized finish and battle-ready G10 grips.

Father's Day is right around the corner, and if your dad is a shooter, you already know the struggle. He's particular. He probably already has what he needs. And if you get it wrong, that gift might sit in a drawer next to three other things he didn't need either.
We know a better approach with some safe bets, gear he didn't realize he needed, and a priceless gift you have to stay to the end to see.

Most shooters buy one gun and use it for everything. That's understandable from a budget perspective. But here's the question most people never stop to ask: Is the gun you're having fun with at the range actually the gun you should conceal carry and trust with your life?

Whether it's been a brutal winter, a hectic schedule or just life getting in the way, time away from the range happens. But here's the thing. Shooting is a perishable skill, and showing up after a long break expecting to perform at your previous level is a recipe for frustration.
John McClain, competitive shooter and team member for Rock Island Armory and Amrscor, has a straightforward take on it: have a plan, build momentum and don't skip the boring work.
