While I’ve been out of town visiting family, TTAG’s Chris has been taking care of my very large and intimidating dogs. Which are definitely not actually a pair of 22-pound cats who sleep an hour per pound per day. Anyway . . . Yesterday Chris needed something that I had stuffed in my safe prior […]
Tiny little single stacks are all the rage these days, but the original sub-compacts (or “SubKompacts” if you’re a P30SK) were basically just chopped grip versions of their duty-sized counterparts. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! The width and weight often make them easier to shoot well, and given the option to have more […]
Last February I reviewed a prototype Simtek Duo, and loved it. Well, production versions have been shipping for a couple months now and it seemed like a good idea to follow up and review one, since this is what customers are actually receiving. Plus there have been a handful of updates and refinements along the […]
Just shy of a year ago, Franklin Armory hit us with a press release for a gun that sure as heck looked like an SBR (a short barreled rifle, regulated strictly under the NFA, or National Firearms Act) but apparently wasn’t. In fact, they said it didn’t even classify as a rifle. Or a shotgun. I […]
Whether a muzzle brake, compensator, flash hider, suppressor, or something else entirely, the world of AR-15 muzzle devices is vast and deep. The best one for you may not be the best one for me, so try not to freak out when you see my list of the six best muzzle devices for the modern […]
While organizing my safe, I placed a Leupold VX-3i LRP rifle scope mounted in a ZRODelta DLOC mount on top of an upright rifle box. While leaning down and diving back into the safe, I butt-checked the box with my thicc curves and sent the scope flying. It fell like a sack of rocks from my full shoulder […]
My three favorite Panteras include the De Tomaso, the Texas metal band, and the Sauer 100 Pantera seen here. Okay, not the band. I prefer my metal nicely fluted, threaded 5/8×24, rocking a Picatinny rail for an optic, and installed in a sweet stock with dual front sling studs. So equipped, the Sauer 100 Pantera, […]
Who in their right mind would want a classic-looking (and classy-looking) side-by-side shotgun at a surprisingly low price? Yeah, me too. CZ’s bringing back the Bobwhite. CZ-USA’s comments and a bunch more photos follow . . . The CZ-USA Bobwhite G2 represents the return of our double-trigger side-by-side. With an English-style grip and splinter forend […]
There are few things more frustrating than wasting ammo trying to get your rifle zeroed. If you just can’t find the paper or can’t seem to chase that zero down, turning expensive ammunition into nothing but noise gets old real fast. Since I’m constantly bolting optics onto loaner rifles, I thought I’d share how I […]
While target shooting on public land outside of Helena, Montana, a 27-year old man suddenly found himself taking incoming fire. The Idaho Statesman tells us that the near-victim was setting up fresh targets when bullets began whizzing by him and striking the ground around his feet. Ducking behind trees for cover, the man waited for […]
This Monday CZ-USA is showing off a purpose-built competition gun made by partner shop CZ Custom. It’s called the A01-LD, and it’s built on a custom-designed frame. A match-grade bull barrel rides over the A01-LD’s massive frame that’s designed to accept P-09-pattern magazines. This means a 19+1 standard capacity or 21+1 capacity with extended basepad. […]
It’s no secret that I love the Shield RMS (full review here). A simple, lightweight, highly visible, reliable micro red dot? What’s not to love?! Well . . . Shield thought of a few ways to improve on the RMS and, from the sounds of it, they have with the new RMS-W. We’ll get our […]
