By Eric Nestor Ever wish your 12 gauge shotgun didn’t tear up game when you’re shooting up close? Short Lane Gun Adapters thought about the problem and they believe they have you covered. Their solution: the Short Lane Gunadapters Stack-N-Pack Kit, and we’re pleasantly surprised at how it performed. When armed with a break action shotgun […]
I didn’t really believe it either. A claimed 108 decibels with CCI Standard ammo? More reasonable than JJFU’s claims, that’s for freakin’ sure, but still hard to believe when dry firing a Ruger 77/22 is ~106.5 dB and simply loading a round into a Ruger 10/22 is nearly 105 dB. But SilencerCo proved it to […]
We all remember when “The SIG Brace” hit the market in 2013, forever revolutionizing what it meant to controllably wield a large pistol. Free of exclusivity restrictions, SB Tactical, creator of that original pistol stabilizing brace, has spent the last couple years innovating sleeker, lighter, cooler new designs. Their newest for the AR-15 platform: the […]
The first mod I did on my trusty Gen3 GLOCK 17 (after changing out the plastic sights) was to install an extended magazine release. The release button on the older (Gen3 and earlier) GLOCKs is a sad affair, a squishy little button a half-inch across that barely protrudes a millimeter from the frame. GLOCK acknowledged […]
A couple of years ago I met Bill Wilson of Wilson Combat. When I told him I was from Central Texas, he immediately exclaimed “That’s Chip McCormick country!” It is indeed. I knew Wilson Combat was a direct competitor of the popular Chip McCormack 1911 magazine. What I didn’t know was that the two competitors […]
Ever feel like Amazon is reading your mind? I sure do sometimes. About two years ago Amazon told me to buy Slip 2000 Extreme Weapons Grease. Since I must not upset my master, I bought a 4oz jar for $15.25. I had been using Mobile 1 Synthetic motor oil (or whatever motor oil I have […]
If there’s a more popular backup/pocket gun than Smith & Wesson’s venerable J-frame wheel guns, I’m not sure what it would be. There’s just something about five rounds of .38 Special JHP carried in a steel handgun that just inspires confidence. But being a last-ditch backup or pocketable concealed carry pistol means Smith’s J-frames are, […]
By Dave Goetzinger I was contacted by Stealth Tactical recently with questions about my process for evaluating handgun safes, and in our exchange I revealed that I’ve grown reluctant to recommend electronic safes. I asked Stealth if I might examine one of their handgun safes featuring a mechanical pushbutton lock. Stealth sent me their Original […]
Pelican is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to hard cases for firearms. Or packing any kind of valuable or delicate items for that matter. From military units shipping their equipment overseas to photographers heading out on assignment, chances are they’ve got their gear wrapped in a reliable Pelican case of some sort […]

If you’re a tactical Spielberg wannabe, SIDEKICK Mounts‘ series of series of weapon and hat mounts for GoPro action cameras are perfect for capturing your shooting-related activities. The direct-to rail-mount is […]
By Jake G. Astrophysicists tell us that a comet can be deflected with the slightest nudge if intercepted early, but impossible to stop when it’s almost upon the Earth. So it is with groups headed out to dinner. The Posted! app lets you check in advance whether the restaurant, business, entertainment venue, etc., you’re considering forbids […]
To weapon light, or not to weapon light. That is the question many gun owners ask themselves. Perhaps the most frequent use of pistol-mounded lights is in the service of home defense. Many a nightstand gun has one at the ready for the dreaded bump-in-the-night situation. However, most of them are large and relatively expensive. […]
