Some of you will remember an episode in American culture in the mid-1980s when Coca-Cola introduced “New Coke.”  Falling in market share against Pepsi, Coke executives had the brilliant idea to almost literally shoot themselves and the whole company in the collective foot.  Based on secret taste tests, the decades-old formula of Coca-Cola was modified [...]

Robert Boatman was a Glock-Toting Badass. And He Was My Father.

My dad was a badass.  An old-school badass.  He could back it up.  He’d seen the freakin’ elephant and he’d taken it out with his bare hands. He didn’t often talk big, but when he did, you knew you had to take him seriously.  One topic he talked big on was what the world has [...]

GLOCK Gen4 Modular Backstrap System at the 2012 SHOT Show

At the 2012 SHOT Show, I asked Dave Mallery to give us the low-down on the GLOCK Gen4 backstrap system. We learn that straight out of the box, the new Gen4s have a reduction in the length of pull of 1/8th of an inch.  Length of pull on a pistol is the measurement from the [...]

Robert Boatman’s Texas Attitude

Hi Morgan, Just in case your memory’s similar to mine, I bought a couple of books that your Dad wrote back in April, one of them was the “Living with Glocks“. Shouldn’t have done that. I’m trading in my XD (it’s a 9mm bought for the wife and she can’t shoot now anyway. I hate [...]

I’m Selling Some Glock Holsters on EBay

Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be running some Holster Auctions on EBay.  These holsters were ordered by my father, Robert Boatman, in 2001 while he was writing Living with Glocks.  They are in great shape, but I have no need for so many holsters.  They are virtually unused.  Most of them had a gun slipped in, [...]
