Suburban's Domain: Articles

Purpose

I realized that I had a collection of reviews, and just maybe some wisdom to share. I hope to keep the information as unbiased as humanly possible.

Why do I bother writing all this stuff? When I buy something, I want it to work the way I want it to. I hope that what goes around, comes around, and that I'll find the reviews or advice that I need when I go looking for information.

The items reviewed on the blog are, almost without exception, purchased or rented by myself, with real money.

I am also kind of hoping that maybe someone in the right position may see some glimmer of genious in my ramblings, and help get me a paying gig at a gun magazine or website.

I hope that some of this nonsense in the blog is helpful to someone.

About Me

E-Mail: robert.atkinson(at)email.com (replace "(at)", with "@")
Alternate Nicknames: Silent Rob, Speechless
Age: born in 1980, you do the math
Location: Delaware County, PA

Some of you may wonder what the deal with the nickname is. It’s short for Suburban Commando, a nick I picked up in high school. A few companions that were a little left of center though it was quite funny, I accepted it out of spite.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a bit of a Glocker. I really can’t have nice things, so the basic black pistols work just fine for me.

I’ve also shot rimfire benchrest. I even managed to win a local match. My best score to date was shot with a completely rebuilt Ruger 10/22 with a KID trigger and barrel, although my Remington 40XRBR is more consistant.

I started shooting rimfire benchrest in 2004, I think. I got into action pistol competitions in 2006.
