I own a lot of knives. More than any healthy person probably should (and definitely more than my wife should know about). One of my favorites, though, and certainly one of the more unique blades in my regular carry rotation, is the Sandrin carbon fiber/titanium TCK . This blade is a true thing of beauty. […]
As seems to be routine, I have another confession to make before beginning my review. The box sent to me by Armageddon Gear with their Ultralight Shooting Mat and Waxed Canvas Optimized Game Changer support bag also included one of their Data Armbands. The plan was to use the pad, the bag and band during […]
It’s that time of the year again, folks. Between Black Friday and Christmas, we see massive amounts of NICS checks, knives bought, and magazines loaded. My family doesn’t watch football over the holidays, we shoot guns, and as a gun guy, I like to think I know what makes us tick. If you’re looking for […]
“Francois says a 3-12 variable scope and 250-300 yard shots.” – Zani The above message was the catalyst for the eventual purchase of the Nightforce SHV 4-14 x 56 Riflescope that is currently mounted on my pet rifle – a plain-Jane, synthetic-stocked, Remington Model 700 chambered to 7mm Remington Magnum. The question was directed to […]
Over decades of firearm ownership, competition and using gear hard – some of our writers have a wealth of experience to tap. When we went around the table, I got a bright idea… Author disclosure: This author was NOT compensated by Streamlight for this article and purchased all of the products he owns with what […]
By Brian Connelly Normally, I am a little hesitant of any bags designed for CCW and general use together. However over the past few years as a business owner I have found that CCW on the body is not always the best option, here is where the Elite Survival System Avenger Gunpack comes in. Do […]
I have a lot of hearing protection options. In the ear, over the ear, custom molded, electronic, passive…if they make them, I have them or have tried them. I took the first plunge into the Bluetooth-enabled hearing protection world with a pair of Peltor Sport Tactical 500 muffs, which still top my list as best […]
As I mentioned in my review of the Streamlight TL Racker, weapon lights on pump shotguns can be a tough conundrum. Magpul’s pump made it a little easier, but mounting a proper light to a pump shotgun can be a little tricky. Pump shotgun weapon light options from both Streamlight and Surefire are often the […]
When Magpul first released the aptly named Magpul Bipod in mid-2018, I didn’t get the appeal. It appeared to be effectively all-polymer, and I tend to lean into my bipods and load them up fairly firmly. So I had doubts. But then I got my hands on one, and my opinion changed 180 degrees. Magpul’s […]
I guess it may be a good, or possibly sad indicator of my character that I keep writing ‘Things That Don’t Suck’ reviews about models of products that were replaced long ago by newer versions. It’s highly likely that the newer models have modifications that improve their usefulness and performance. However, if a certain thing […]
One of my most reliable and well-built possessions is something that I rarely talk about: my MidwayUSA Competition Range Bag. Full disclosure: I was NOT compensated by MidwayUSA for this article in any way. I just enjoy the product and think all the YouTube ads about Larry Potterfield and his Nitro Express shipping system are […]
As far as defensive and military shotguns go, it seems that the pump-action still rules the roost in the United States. While semi-autos are more and more accepted, the transition is slow. The USMC adopted the M1014 shotgun in 1999, and my infantry battalion’s armory had zero of them…in 2012. We did have a ton […]
