Thursday, September 12th, 2013WTFF – Did Someone’s Stupid Button Get Stuck?
Wednesday, September 11th, 2013Over the past few days I’ve seen several “industry professionals” be anything but. I will not tolerate companies or individuals bashing one another. It really torques my head bolts that I have to regularly remind the collective readership that the Internet dehumanizes us and gives us this false sense that we can wild out and say any old crazy shit we want.
This behavior is unacceptable as a guest in my house; SSD. Address one another as you would if it was in person. That is the standard of behavior.
Cut the BS.

Update to SSD Sale Post Policy
Wednesday, September 4th, 2013In early July, SSD was forced to place restrictions on sale announcements. Now, due to abuse of our generosity, we are implementing additional controls on sale announcements. Effective immediately, we will only post one sale announcement per month for non-advertising companies. It is unfair to the companies that support SSD for us to provide what amounts to free advertising to their competitors. Once a month is more than enough to allow small businesses to showcase their products and services to our readers. Additionally, we still require a 48 hour lead time to place any sales into our editorial lineup.
We are investing a great deal of time and money in a new solution that will allow vendors to post their own sales, free of charge. This will be great for vendor and reader alike, as it will be a one-stop for deals. But, until then, these policies will have to suffice in order to prioritize the editorial content of SSD.
This is not to be confused with product announcements. As always, you do not need to be an advertiser to submit those but we reserve the right to share those items we feel are right for our readers.
9000 Posts!
Sunday, September 1st, 2013
This past week, SSD posted its 9000th article. Not too shabby for a website that’s just over five years old. Don’t worry, I won’t break my arm patting myself on the back. I’ve got much too much planned for the next accomplishment, 10 000 posts, to do it one-handed.

The Viridian Reactor 5 Green Laser Sight, previously only available for the Ruger LCP, is now available for the Ruger LC9 and LC380. Featuring the Viridian Green 532 nm laser, the maximum legal power allowed, the Reactor 5 is up to 50 times brighter than a conventional red laser and is visible out to 100 yards in daylight and 2 miles at night. Additionally, the Reactor 5 features a 2-color state of charge indicator and Viridian’s Enhanced Combat Readiness feature.
