SilencerCo’s threaded barrels have been around for about three and a half years now – approximately half as long as it took the company to bring them to market – and they’ve held their own, earning a rightful place as a standard aftermarket option and favorite among owners of SilencerCo silencers. With a newly-inked NFA […]
Part of being a responsible gun owner is making sure that your firearms don’t fall into the wrong hands, whether that’s kids or Chicago politicians. The trick to any good storage system is that it not only keeps your firearms safely locked away and inaccessible to uninvited guests, but it also allows you to quickly […]
With big game hunting season in full swing, I’ve spent a good amount of time with the GLOCK 20C I’m accustomed to carrying when recreating outdoors. This pistol has sustained its fair share of modifications, yet every time I’d carry it my thoughts would drift to a quiet place. I had an itch to push […]
It’s hard for new products to break through the noise of SHOT Show and attract much attention. Especially an item that’s considered as basic and boring as a gun lock. But that’s the feat that ZORE managed this year when they cut through the clutter with a design that’s anything but the same old thing. […]
Riton Optics is a family-owned, Veteran-founded and operated optics manufacturer that has been getting a lot of looks since their inception in 2013. More and more retailers are stocking their products; then watching them fly out the door. And for good reason… In short; Riton has struck a nice balance between high-quality HD Japanese glass, […]
The Targetize Personal Firearms Trainings System is one of a few new devices that track muzzle movement of your pistol in order to improve your marksmanship. Although I’m sure the technical devil is in the details, the concept is fairly simple. A motion sensor attaches to the bottom of your pistol and measures any movement […]
I’m asked fairly frequently which mag loader I use, if any. I just got another email asking about that, hence this post. Some gun owners look down on magazine loaders, but I’m not amongst that group. I’m on board with anything that makes range time easier and more efficient. It’s not really worth a full-blown […]
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 […]
