Dave Fucking Merrill – Writer, Photographer, Lover of Tacos, Great Dad, Kind of a Dick

Minion Emeritus Dave Merrill (DFM) wrote for Breach-Bang-Clear from late 2013 until early 2017, including a year as Managing Editor. He departed our ranks in May of 2017 to accept a well-deserved position as social media manager for RECOIL Magazine. He is a combat veteran of the Marine Corps who describes himself as a “…former urban warfare and foreign weapons instructor for Coalition fighting men.”

The bit about loving tacos and being kind of a dick? Straight off his business cards.

You can find a lineup of all Dave Merrill’s Breach-Bang-Clear articles here, and you’d be well advised to do so. Lots of knowledge in his skull, and a wickedly humorous way of delivering it most times too.

He has great taste in hats.

The warrior scholar’s choice for analysis of national and international events, gun news, updates from the tactical community, and gear reviews.
