Like many hunters, shooters, and gunsmiths, I’ve been trusting Brownells for a whole lot of years. When I saw they had contracted with a Japanese company to make mid-priced precision rifle optics, I jumped at the chance to review one of the first scopes in their Match Precision Optic line. They did not disappoint. Brownells […]
About a decade ago I started boot carrying the Bond Arms Derringer in .410/.45 Colt as an everyday backup and deep concealment pistol. I absolutely loved it. Four years ago I got to review a slightly different version for TTAG. I loved that one, too. Since then I’ve bought different holsters, different grips, and different […]
The SIG SAUER P320 XFive Legion is everything that made the P320 XFive great, only prettier. The original 2018 verison of the P320 XFive has disappeared from SIG’s website as well as dealer offerings. It appears that SIG has refined the brand by incorporating the excellent P320 XFive version into their Legion line. The Legion […]
We are all getting a lot of advice these days. Some of it is even good advice. If you are reading someone telling you what to carry, how much ammunition you should be comfortable with, or how you will behave in a gunfight, and they have not actually been in a gunfight themselves, much less […]
A full moon lit up the Texas Hill County as I drove to a hunt just south of Kerrville, and I made a game out of adding up the value of the axis deer roaming wild on the roadside. $100,000 on the hoof? It was starting to add up to some real money. The axis […]
I remember when the Hornady A-MAX bullet first hit the market. It was a great bullet, very accurate and with some hunting applications on light skinned game at extended ranges. Plugging in the new higher ballistic coefficient number into ballistics calculators provided a promise of performance beyond what most of us were seeing in our […]
[ED: Since this review was published, Brace Built confirmed that the review gun had between 3000 and 8000 rounds through it. In addition, their current rifles no longer include the bright orange accents seen in the review gun.] The lower’s manufacturer stamp is “Modern Outfitters, Meridian, Mississippi”. The lower is also clearly marked “Brace Built” […]
The Colt M4 rifle and Beretta M9 handgun were the primary guns I used when I was in Afghanistan. The M9 was the standard-issue pistol. The M4 had an EOTech holographic red dot sight with the usual EOTech Advanced Target Illuminator/Pointer (AN/PEQ-15) wired onto the top rail, and a CAA foregrip. The guns were not customized. They […]
Earlier this month, I was once again hunting wild pigs at night with a suppressed AR-15 chambered in .458 SOCOM. I was heading into some thick brush, following what sounded like a couple of large boars fighting, when I stopped dead in my tracks. The full moon was overhead. Idiot! I was armed with nothing […]
When it comes to guns, I collect very few of them. Don’t get me wrong, I buy a lot of guns, but I generally shoot them for a few years and then sell them or give them away. There are only two series I collect just for the sake of having them (I shoot the […]
FN-USA has re-released last year’s SCAR 20S in 6.5 Creedmoor, and it’s perfect. The new SCAR 20S is the same gun, with the same trigger, stock, upper, lower, rails, finish, everything as the gun they released last year, just in a different chambering with a different barrel assembly. It’s the exact same gun, just in […]
I should have turned this rifle back in already, but I can’t. Not yet. I’m just not ready to stop shooting the Vudoo Gun Work’s Sinister. The Sinister is a precision rimfire rifle. It is as well made as the best centerfire precision rifles in the world. As such, it is not cheap. With an […]
